Reform UK says it would impose whole-life jail terms on child rapists

Zia Yusuf announces plans for mandatory sentences with no parole, as party targets grooming gangs

Child rapists would be jailed for life if Reform UK wins the next election, its head of policy has said.

Under plans announced by Zia Yusuf on Saturday, the party would introduce mandatory whole-life orders for offenders convicted of the crime, making them ineligible for parole, as part of a crackdown on grooming gangs.
