Reform pledge to scrap the Equality act.
If they do so you can be discriminated against or abused at work, in education or in the public.

In addition to his basic confusion between the two international courts, Farage is also confused about the role of the USA - while it has withdrawn from the ICJ's compulsory jurisdiction, it does participate in cases
A confused Nigel Farage pans "an opinion of the International Criminal Court on the Chagos Islands"
But the opinion came from the International Court of Justice
And only 3 countries in the world backed the UK/US in opposing a vote in the UN backing the opinion
all led by chums of Trump at the time

PR would be fine for England, but without a federal structure it still fails to give any other nation a voice at Westminster.

We need proportional representation ASAP.
Parts of the UK already use it for assembly and other elections, so there's no need for any commissions or referendums on it any more. Simply choose one of the PR systems already in use and introduce that system for Westminster elections.
