It will include slashing beer duty by ten per cent and implementing a staggered business rate abolition for every boozer.

He will also promise to reduce VAT to ten per cent and scrap the employers’ national insurance rise for hospitality.

Mr Farage said his plan to “save Britain’s pubs” will be cost neutral via £3billion savings made by reinstating the two-child benefit limit, except in working households comprising British citizens.

Beer duty typically is 49p per pint, with VAT totalling around 80p.

Ahead of the announcement in London, Reform MP Lee Anderson said: “We believe in family, community and country.

“Pubs have always been at the heart of all three, a space in which the rich tapestry of our union has been woven, physically connecting us to the customs and traditions of our forebears.

“The crisis facing the Great British pub has been allowed to become acute, and our nation is poorer for it.

“A Reform Government will stop the uniparty’s attacks on our way of life and take immediate action to end the pubs crisis.”
