Pensions & Social Care

Pensions & Social Care

Pensions & Social Care

Our elderly deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. For over 20 years the Tories and Labour failed to tackle the issue of Pensions and Social Care. The system is broken and time is running out. Since the 1950s, larger numbers of young people have funded the smaller numbers of elderly through the tax system. But people are living longer and the percentage of over 65s to the working age population has increased. This change has caused a major funding problem for our elderly and long – term sick.

Fisheries

Brexit was a huge opportunity to renew our fishing industry and revive our coastal communities. Yet, the government has not taken back control of our historic fishing grounds. Foreign vessels still plunder our waters and damage the sea bed. Major renegotiations of our fishing arrangements with the EU are essential in the run up to the 2026 review.

Agriculture

Agriculture
British farming needs reform to take advantage of Brexit.

Farming is in crisis and our food security is at risk. Government subsidies force farmers to meet environmental targets instead of producing food. Fuel and fertiliser costs have spiralled. Farmers have to deal with huge amounts of paperwork. Farmland is being lost to re-wilding and solar farms. High energy costs and supermarket price fixing has pushed many farmers to bankruptcy. Rural communities are dying.

Transport & Infrastructure

Transport & Infrastructure

Our Transport and Utilities Infrastructure has suffered from under investment and lack of joined up thinking. Much of it has been sold to overseas investors. Around 70% of water companies and 80% of our gas power stations and offshore wind farms are foreign owned, together with 100% of our nuclear power stations which are owned by EDF of France.

Children & Families

Children & Families

Children & Families

Britain has one of the highest family breakdown rates in the western world. In 2021, more children were born to unmarried couples than to those who were married. Half of all children grow up in separate households. We have the unhappiest teenagers in Europe.

Housing

Housing

The UK population has grown by over 1.3 million in just 2 years. Yet only 425,000 homes have been built. The Office of National Statistics forecast the population to grow by nearly 7 million between 2021 and 2036, putting huge pressure on housing.

Veterans

Veterans

Veterans

Veterans are some of the nations’ greatest assets, not victims. They have a huge amount to offer. They should be valued, as well as thanked. Our veterans have valuable skills which should be used to their fullest potential after leaving the Armed Forces. Their leadership experience, logistics expertise, discipline, determination and can do attitude is unique.

Defence

Defence

Defence

Britain has some of the best and bravest Armed Forces in the world. Yet grandstanding politicians send our servicemen and women abroad with poor equipment. They have cut the Army to its smallest size in 300 years. Military housing is substandard. Our wounded and veterans are often abandoned. Some still face unjust legal claims. We will reform our military covenant so those who put their lives on the line get the support they deserve both during and after service.

Brexit

Brexit

Brexit

Brexit meant taking back control of our borders, laws and money. It should have allowed us to take our rightful place among the 168 other sovereign nations that succeed outside the European Union. Brexit meant more democracy. More accountability. More freedom.

Benefits

The benefits system is broken. There are 5.3 million people in Britain on out of work benefits. Around 3.7 million of these are not required to look for a job for health reasons. A substantial number are under 34 years of age. This number soared when face to face health checks were replaced by remote assessments.
