To any MP deluding themselves that we’re some omnipotent global superpower, I have one suggestion. Go to your constituency and look around. See what’s happening in communities up and down Britain. In your community, to your voters. To the people you are supposed to represent. Our country’s infrastructure has been shattered by decades of unnecessary decay and rot. Failure, festering everywhere for all to see. Go to a town centre. Any town centre. Boarded up shops. Filth, everywhere. Graffiti, rubbish, broken pavements. Hospitals literally crumbling apart. An NHS teetering on the verge of collapse every time it blows a cold wind. So much unnecessary death and suffering because we have failed to prioritise our own vulnerable. Schools, in battered old buildings. The concrete peeling away. The road system is in tatters. Pothole after pothole after pothole. A road network that would embarrass the Indians. I mean for goodness sake, even children’s playgrounds are left to rust away. Fenced off, broken equipment. Do we have no pride, at all? Anything that belongs to the state is shrivelling and dying, and nobody cares. Nothing ever gets built. Never ever gets fixed. We are living in some depressing holding pattern, circling the ever-closer drain. Britain is becoming a third world country, large parts already have the infrastructure of one. And what, we're supposed to just sit back and accept it? Believe it's all normal? Just part of life? No. I am absolutely sick of the grim acceptance that this is the best Britain can have. Pure defeatism. We have the best people in the world, but the very worst establishment. Lions led by donkeys is unfair on the latter. So I will make no apologies for leading a political party that unapologetically puts the British people first. That is exactly what Restore Britain is doing. We will not change, I promise you that.
