Regarding Farage:
" Reform claims it can save £50 billion a year by telling every government department to “slash wasteful spending, cut bureaucracy, improve efficiency and negotiate better value procurement”.
The above quote was from a UK disability website, and in my opinion, they are very biased, obviously belong to the Labour Party, and are so extremely fearful of change that it actually warps their ability to read, because they went on to do a great deal of fearmongering.

You'll note that they want to slash wasteful spending, and improve efficiency, while negotiating better value for their pounds.
Trump, in the United States, is trying to do the same thing using Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head up D.O.G.E., but there is absolutely no way he will cut Medicare or Medicaid, which are run respectively by the federal government, and by the STATES. Each state determines what it will spend on disability, food benefits, and welfare assistance.
In the UK the prime minister has already outlined reforms to disability, as of April 2024.
"*Government to consult on proposed reforms to disability benefits system to ensure benefits targeted at those who need it most
*Comes as number of people claiming disability benefits for mental health conditions has doubled since the pandemic
*Welfare package includes further measures to crack down on fraud and removing benefits entirely from long term unemployed who don’t accept a job"

If you have trouble interpreting what these bullet points mean, it was basically stated that the current PM wants people who CAN work, and who are not working, to work. It also stated that they wish to eliminate fraud and waste.
