Reform UK’s shadow home secretary, Zia Yusuf, took the stage at the party’s Birmingham conference to outline the group’s vision for law‑and‑order reform. Yusuf warned that rising crime rates and strained police resources demand a tougher, more accountable approach, calling for stricter sentencing, expanded powers for officers and a review of current immigration policies. He also highlighted the party’s plans to boost community policing and invest in technology to curb violent offences, positioning Reform UK as a decisive alternative to the government’s handling of public safety. The speech aimed to rally delegates and attract voters who feel security concerns have been neglected by mainstream parties.
