Reform UK will pass its own Equal Treatment Act to “end two-tier policing for good” following the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, the party’s home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf has revealed.Mr Yusuf, who unveiled the three-part plan tonight, confirmed Reform UK would pass the legislation within 100 days if it wins the next general election. The Equal Treatment Act is expected to scrap positive discrimination initiatives, remove exceptions for faith groups and remove any preferential treatment. “The tragic death of Henry Nowak is a horrific example of two-tier policing in Britain,” Mr Yusuf said.”The accusation of racism was dealt with more seriously than the accusation of being stabbed.”This is a direct result of police initiatives like the Hampshire Police Race Action Plan, which trains officers to do this. “A Reform Government will pass an Equal Treatment Act, which will end two-tier policing for good.”GB News understands the legislation will prohibit police forces from adopting Race Action Plans, ban diversity, equality and inclusion in the public sector, and outlaw all bladed articles by ending exemptions for faith groups.Mr Yusuf unveiled Reform UK’s plan after harrowing footage of Nowak’s arrest was released last night. The 18-year-old finance student was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa five times after walking home from a night out on December 3 last year. Officers appeared to dismiss Nowak when he informed them he had been stabbed, with one telling the injured teenager: “I don’t think you have, mate.”Police at the scene had been misled by Digwa, who was sentenced to life this week, after the 23-year-old Sikh falsely accused Nowak of carrying out a racist attack. The incident sparked fears of two-tier policing in the UK, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage putting pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to act earlier today.However, the Prime Minister dismissed warnings about so-called two-tier policing. He insisted: “I think Nigel Farage’s reaction is the wrong reaction. And I start my answer to your question through the eyes of the family.”They have said they do not want this whipped up. They have been through the most extraordinary, awful experience.”They don’t want this whipped up. And Nigel Farage is completely wrong to use this to try and create division.”He would be wrong in any circumstances, but when Henry’s family are saying, ‘Please don’t do that, it’s our son’, then really, as politicians, as human beings, we should start when they start.”
