Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades – with little to show for it in public services.
Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for your family’s future...
- You keep less of what you earn.
- You keep less of what you invest.
- You leave less for your family.
Death by a thousand cuts.

Illegal migrants are receiving free dental care all over Britain whilst our people pull their own teeth out.
You're not angry enough.

Just listen,
understand why businesses are suffering,
understand why this will cost people jobs,
understand why businesses will be forced to close
Hiring a 25-year-old on minimum wage for 37.5 hours a week cost £18,886 a year in 2021.
From April 2027: £29,459
including employer NI and minimum pension. That’s £10,573 more per employee up 56%.
Before Employment Allowance, recruitment or absence cover.
'Breathing Space' was a PR move, don't be fooled.
(Figures compare 2021/22 with April 2027, assuming 37.5 hours/week and minimum employer pension contributions under current thresholds.
Before Employment Allowance, which can reduce actual NI costs for eligible employers. Paid holiday is included; other employment overheads are excluded.)

Bangladeshi men who are unable to speak English should not be able to claim benefits in our country.
In fact, they should not be able to live in our country.

I’m fortunate. I’ve been successful in business, I have money, I don’t have to worry about our financial future. I donate my entire MP salary to local charities, to show that I’m in politics for the right reasons.
I’ll be honest. I don’t have to worry about paying the mortgage each month, or having enough money to buy the children what they want for their birthday, or even being able to put food on the table.
I don’t, but I know millions of Brits do. That’s the brutal reality.
Hardworking British men and women should not have to live like that. If you work hard, put the hours in and live honestly?
You should be rewarded for it, properly.
That means lower tax, MUCH lower tax and higher thresholds, but it also means a state that can keep inflation under control so that the cost of living does not outstrip your wage.
Fuel, food shop, clothes, electricity. Everything. It all gets more expensive whilst so many earn the same.
Inflation. All driven up by the decisions of politicians who will never have to live with the consequences of their actions.
Our economy is completely broken. It works for the international corporates, the bureaucrats, the London managers.
It does NOT work for the plumber, the entrepreneur, the farmer, the construction worker, the hairdresser, the nurse, the sole trader, the HGV driver, the police officer.
We must aim to entirely reshape how the economy works so that vast profits made from British workers are not shifted offshore through complex corporate structures whilst working families are bled dry by our corrupt state.
I want family businesses to thrive, entrepreneurs to succeed, risk-takers to flourish. Those who contribute, protect and enhance our society rewarded. I want the shirkers and piss-takers crushed.
That’s what I want. That’s what Restore Britain wants.
I don’t want the parasitic global corporations or our rotten state profiting off the ingenuity and sweat of the British risk-taker. Rotten monopolies that have no respect for the individual will end.
In short - an economy that provides for our people.
There is ONE way out. A Britain that lives within it means. Just as we all have to, our state must do the same. Spend less than it earns. It’s that simple.
That is how we make Britain affordable again, make Britain ambitious again and make Britain work again.
That’s what a Restore Britain Government will deliver.
Release the innate brilliance and tenacity of the British people.
Our entrepreneurial spirit conquered the world before and we can do it again.

This will frighten the fuck out of people when it drops.
This is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who will tell it as it is. If this doesn’t make people sit up and listen I don’t know what will. These are the type of people Labour and the left are supporting and letting into our country.

Restore Britain has published our policy on ending school holiday fines.
Under a Restore Britain Government, five days of term-time school absences will be made available for each student each academic year.
Restore Britain trusts parents to parent.

'Muhammad' has comfortably topped the list for the most popular boy name for the third year running.
You can call me Islamophobic, I really don't care.
This is awful and demonstrates the rapidly changing demographics of our country.
Only Restore Britain will fight this.
Paul Darton retweeted
Politicians are calling for calm and referring to an immigrant trying to chop a man’s head off as a stabbing.
How about you get fucked with your calls for calm? Our people are being raped, butchered, murdered, and beheaded in the streets while you conduct your experiments with immigration and the replacement of our people.
We have every right to be angry.

Deliberately excluding Restore Britain is outrageous - I will be consulting our legal team this morning.

Why doesn’t GB News have me live in the studio to discuss it instead of publishing endless hit pieces with no right of reply?

A Restore Britain Government would back British drivers. How?
Raise the speed limit on motorways to 80mph.
Remove all 20mph zones, other than those outside schools or areas with vulnerable individuals.
Our current 70 mph speed limit was implemented decades ago, for a completely different type of car with completely different capabilities - far lower safety standards, poorer braking, and less advanced handling.
It is unnecessarily slow, plenty of other countries sensibly allow for more.
80mph is faster and fair, and Restore Britain would do the unthinkable - trust people to get on with their lives without such overbearing state interference.
It boosts business, backs drivers and gets Britain moving.
Support Restore Britain to make it 80.

I am with the young British men and women who feel crushed under inflated house prices, stagnating wages, record tax burden and just generally a really piss-poor standard of living that is falling embarrassingly far behind countries we once competed with.
My question to them is this...
Is the status quo what you want? Because if it is, there are a variety of parties to vote for. If you want something radically different, and I mean radically, then Restore Britain is giving you that option.
Ask yourself - does the current model work for you?
Commuting two plus hours a day from some pokey flat in a part of London that increasingly resembles the third world? All to get taxed out of your arse for a job you hate, with no prospect of starting your own business or owning your own home because the rotten state takes so much of your cash? It is an awful deal.
Earn a bit more money? Bang. Gone. Student loan. Paying hundreds each month just to keep on top of the interest. Initial loan never getting paid off, it just creeps up and up.
Gather enough capital to start a small business? That’s a different world of pain. Regulations, taxes, an environment designed to bury any enthusiasm to build something better. It is just not worth the risk. HMRC takes such pleasure in making it as difficult as possible. Honestly, I hate those people so much.
Young tradesmen and women all over Britain waking up at 5am, working 12 hours plus every day. Why? For what? For who? Losing almost half your earnings to fund some indolent slob who refuses to work? It’s not exactly the American dream, is it?
Want children? One? Two? More? Childcare costs thousands and thousands a year. It’s unaffordable. It’s impossible. So, depressingly, many don’t even bother. What about a home? Ludicrous leasehold rules mean you’re just paying rent up front for decades. Getting screwed on the service changes that soar with no consultation. House prices booming whilst wages fall behind. The mountain to climb gets bigger and bigger. It is endless.
Yet you’re told by people who bought their house for 40k and got university education for free that cutting down on the cappuccinos will solve all of your financial problems.
Politicians like Farage tell you working from home is the problem, and that seeking a ‘work-life balance’ is somehow selfish.
It is bullshit, to be honest. And I am fed up of it. It stinks.
There’s this prevailing attitude with many people of my age that young men and women are lazy and refuse to put the hours in.
That’s just not true. The system is crushing you. It kills ambition and suffocates aspiration.
It all needs to change. All of it.
Restore Britain doesn't want to reform the establishment, we want to smash it up.
And yes, that will include a meaningful debate about a triple lock which creates division between the young and the old - because it simply isn’t financially sustainable in its current form. Restore Britain will have the courage to do what needs to be done, I promise you that.
If you want more of the same - vote for it. Tories, Reform, Labour, Lib Dem. Go for it. Your choice. Same faces, same model, same decay.
The Greens want to accelerate our transformation into a third world dump. If that’s what you want for Britain, Polanski is your man. Certainly don’t vote for Restore Britain.
Because we are offering something entirely new.
You now have a political party that is willing to take the difficult decisions to give you the opportunities that my generation had to achieve that same financial freedom so many of my age enjoy.
Restore Britain is that party.
We want a fundamentally different economic model.
One that gives young British men and women the freedom to pursue their own goals - whether that’s building their family, business or own financial freedom.
That’s what we’re about.
We are going to be honest, and we are going to take the difficult decisions required to benefit us all, that very much includes the young Brits who for their entire lives have been ripped off by a decadent political establishment that cares about votes, and only votes.
Restore Britain will treat you all with the respect and honesty you deserve.
There is a political party that is finally your side.
Restore Britain is on your side.
