Reform UK leader Nigel Farage attempted to woo younger British voters by announcing a Donald Trump-style foray into cryptocurrency policy at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas late on Thursday.Farage unveiled plans to put a new “Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill” before Parliament if his party wins the next general election with the aim of launching a “crypto revolution” in the UK.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that Nigel Farage would crash the economy if his Reform UK party ever won power, describing his tax and spending plans as a fantasy in a speech attacking the man who has become Labour's chief threat in the polls.
