Reform UK has branded illegal working a "slap in the face" to Britons as the party promises a series of measures to "reclaim our high streets". Setting out the major pledge, Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf vowed a Reform Government would pass a "Deliveroo Law", making CEOs and directors of large companies benefitting from illegal working. He said: "Under a Reform Government, Britain will have the harshest penalties in the world for those employing illegal migrants.

"There are companies whose entire business model is based on profiting from illegal working. "It is a slap in the face to the public.
