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 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.
Education
Too many children and young people are being badly let down. Discipline, disruption and violence are huge issues in class. Teachers are drowning in bureaucracy. Woke ideology is spreading through our schools and universities. We want an education system that ensures young people learn the skills, character and values to succeed in life.
Justice
Our Justice System needs Reform.
It is failing the public. It is slow, bureaucratic and inefficient. It often puts offender rights above victim rights. Some violent repeat offenders commit over 100 offences, yet are still free to walk the streets. Over 75,000 defendants are awaiting trial at the Crown Court. The police are demoralised and the public are losing trust in the system. We will build a common sense justice system that keeps the public safe.
Policing
Law and Order urgently needs Reform.
The government is soft on crime and police leadership is badly failing. The bobby on-the-beat is almost extinct. Paperwork wastes huge amounts of police time. Crime solving is at an all-time low. Charging rates have collapsed to around 5%.
Energy & Environment
Our energy market needs Reform.
We all care about the environment. Our air has never been cleaner. We want to use technology to do our bit. But Net Zero is the wrong bit, at the wrong price, in the wrong timeframe. Westminster’s obsession with Net Zero is damaging our livelihoods and the economy. It has sent energy bills soaring. Made it harder for businesses to compete. It is costing tens of thousands of jobs and increasing inflation.
NHS
Our NHS needs urgent Reform.
We must make it a national endeavour to get to Zero NHS Waiting Lists in 2 years. This can be done, but only with a fresh, bold, can-do approach. Healthcare must remain free at the point of use.
Immigration
Our immigration system needs urgent Reform.
Uncontrolled mass immigration has pushed Britain to breaking point. A record 1,250,000 immigrants entered the UK in 2022. That is a city the size of Birmingham. Data is expected to show a similar number arrived in 2023 and probably 2024. New government figures say that almost 14 million people will arrive in the UK between 2021 and 2036. That is almost 1 million per year. The population explosion has led directly to the depression of local wages, the housing crisis and the NHS waiting list crisis. British culture, identity and values are under threat.
Economy – Business
Reform is urgently needed to enjoy a high growth, high wage, low tax economy that is critical for Britain’s future. This cannot be emphasised enough. Smart tax cuts create growth and pay for themselves year after year. That means more money to invest in reformed public services. The Multiplier Factor.
