This is a great post and well worth the time invested to read it ⬇️
Anglo Futurism Capital LP 🇬🇧🐿️@RollingHedge

Just because so many on here commenting similar toss really don’t have a scooby what they’re talking about: A pastry-and-coffee-only independent in 2026 needs an average coffee price of around £4.20 and roughly 130 cups a day to pay the owner properly, but the market ceiling for a flat white in central London now sits at £4.00-4.20 for dairy and £4.60-4.70 with oat, meaning the price lever is exhausted, the operator cannot raise it further without losing the volume that makes the model work, and the only remaining variables are owner hours and closure, which is why anyone still selling flat whites at £3.80-4.00 is quietly subsidising their customers out of their own wages. The model is now viable in maybe 15-20% of the country by geography because a daily £4 coffee is a habit only the top 15-20% of earners can sustain, and that population lives almost entirely in central London, the Oxford-Cambridge-Bristol triangle, Edinburgh, and a handful of affluent commuter pockets, leaving the provincial independent to chase 40 regulars and a weekend treat-trade that has to carry four dead weekdays, on a cost base that has been Londonised by the national wage floor while the revenue base manifestly has not. All of which is downstream of the 2020-2022 M2 expansion that reset the UK price level across every input from beans to rents to wages, compounded by the deliberate policy choice to load the adjustment onto small employers through a 43% rise in the wage floor in five years, tighter employer NIC at a lower threshold, and tapered rates relief, meaning the coffee shop owner pays for the money printing twice, once in costs and again in the tax and wage structure built to redistribute its consequences. What the classic leftist position misses, when it claims “an inability to pay £12.71 an hour proves the business was never viable”, is that viability is not a fixed property of the business but a moving target the state itself controls, and the policy stack has deliberately moved it beyond reach for most of the country by loading non-wage costs onto small operators while pretending the wage is the only variable, in a system where wages are paid out of the marginal productivity of labour applied to capital in a given location, and a barista in Stoke cannot be paid London wages out of Stoke revenues without the owner working for nothing or the shop closing, both of which are routinely observed and dismissed as commercial failure rather than recognised as policy outcome. The fix - these same mouth breathing cretins would vehemently oppose on tribal grounds before substance - is the only one that actually works at the unit-economics level: cheaper energy via nuclear and North Sea gas to compress the input stack, planning liberalisation so commercial rent stops functioning as a rentier tax on every transaction, employer NIC reduced and its threshold restored, a personal allowance raised to £20k that would put roughly £1,500 a year into every minimum wage worker’s pocket without costing a single employer a penny and would do more for real take-home and discretionary spend than any further wage floor rise, and a lighter compliance regime for sub-£2m turnover businesses where fixed regulatory cost is most disproportionate to revenue, because the real project being defended is not raising worker incomes but expanding the regulatory and redistributive footprint of the state, and the wage floor is attractive precisely because it is coercive and visible rather than because it is the most efficient way to lift living standards, which is why the closure of the provincial independent sector is treated as collateral damage rather than recognised as the predictable consequence of the policy mix on offer, and why the coffee shop on the closing high street is functioning as the most reliable leading indicator of which towns the current settlement has decided shouldn’t have a discretionary economy at all.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.. Duh…🙄 🤦🏻‍♂️

In the last six months, the SDP have done more to address the three most important issues faced by our country than every other political party put together. Starting with Energy Abundance, followed by an update to our policy on Immigration and finally The Investment State; an honest assessment of how eating the seed corn of future generations has had a disastrous impact on the growth of our economy. If you are politically homeless but you consider yourself to be a patriot. If you are a capitalist but recognise that deregulation of the electricity industry has been a disaster. If you understand that strong defence has to be based on deep supply chains and an industrial base If you want young people to have a stake in our society and to form families. If you believe that a vital task of the government is to encourage virtue in its citizens then take a look at our two latest Green Papers; Energy Abundance & The Investment State. sdp.org.uk/energy_abundan… sdp.org.uk/investment-sta… If you agree with The thrust of our policy why not join our organisation and help us build a political party that people want to positively vote for. x.com/WilliamClousto…

Today the SDP publishes 'The Investment State'. It is our latest Green Paper that sets out to make a strong argument for why the United Kingdom is poorer than it should be, and what a government serious about growth would do about it. We are inviting you to have this conversation with us. Read it at: sdp.org.uk/investment-sta…

If you were to meet @WilliamClouston you would want him and his @sdphq party in Westminster and in council seats throughout the land. You would want to see him on national TV and hear his plan on turning Britain around. You would soon conclude he’s the change Britain needs.

People agree with the @Sdphq but then complain that they don’t have enough candidates without connecting the two issues Other social conservatives suggest we should ‘get in line’ with reform/restore etc but our diagnosis on economic issues is different. We think privatisation of water and electricity has been a disaster. Real electricity prices have increased by 305% since 2005 while the water companies are happy to pay fines while pumping sewage from the ‘river to the sea’ to coin a phrase. If you think one more dose of Thatcherism is what the country is crying out for then by all means support one of these these parties. If you think we should build homes for first nation Brits as a priority, if you think we should have an integrated national rail network, if you think we should have a crash building course of British designed, British manufactured nuclear power stations then you are naturally an Sdp supporter If the Sdp didn’t exist, we would have to invent it because it represents the views of about 65% of the British population who want a sane family focused party who recognises that we need to reindustrialise our nation in order to provide security both at home and abroad

Michael Clyne, SDP candidate for Cropredy, Sibfords and Wroxton, has been out leafleting and enjoying conversations with voters in Little Bourton. For a cleaner, safer ward, vote Michael Clyne on 7th May, and for a cleaner, safer country, join the SDP.

Seconded. I always learn from @WilliamClouston even when I disagree with him. His sincerity and seriousness go hand-in-hand and if eatablishment mediacrats were as thoughtful as they present themselves he would always be on our screens. * Thank God for podcasts!
Paul Embery@PaulEmbery

This is a compelling interview with SDP leader @WilliamClouston on the 'Heretics' podcast with @AndrewGold_ok. I would urge everyone to watch it. William is one of the most interesting and thoughtful political activists/commentators in Britain today. youtube.com/watch?v=dtHv2a…

I agree 100% with @MellonSdp6741 on this - step up and help us. ⬇️
Alastair Mellon SDP@MellonSdp6741

People ask why the SDP don’t get more attention? They tell me online that they would vote for us if there was a candidate in their area. They suggest we should do more social media and get more famous people to join. If only it was that easy….. If you want a patriotic party that isn’t wedded to just one more dose of Thatcherism… If you want a party that will build nuclear power stations and infrastructure….. If you want a party that recognises the dignity of work and the desperation of idleness… If you want a party who are across the detail and don’t generate ‘slop’ in place of policy… If you want a party that thinks mass immigration has to be stopped immediately…. YOU HAVE TO BUILD THAT PARTY. NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE YOU. YOU HAVE TO SAVE YOURSELVES. The @AndrewGold_ok interview with William Clouston has been watched 120,000 times and the overwhelming majority of the comments are positive. We can all shout at the television and moan on WhatsApp groups and X to our friends & family but if you really want to change the country YOU have to get up off the sofa and actually start working tenaciously towards the future that YOU want otherwise the things that YOU are concerned about will come to pass and there will be no chance for YOU and YOUR family and YOUR children. Most of us don’t have the resources to escape. We are tied by generations to place by Kith and Kin. Besides, who would want to live today in Dubai with Iranian missiles raining down? We need to make a stand here in Britain and build a party that actually loves our country and her people and won’t give up. Join @SDPhq & @WilliamClouston and build a party you can be proud to vote for @ProudofusUK youtu.be/dtHv2aEFRVk?is…

Henry Bolton OBE 🇬🇧@_HenryBolton·
Thank God the country is finally waking up the appalling neglect that our armed forces and national defence have been subjected to for years, including under this government. Some of us in the know have been trying to warn of this for nearly two decades. Nobody listened. People called us warmongers or just weren’t interested. So the government of the day, like this present one, got away with misleading you, telling you everything was fine when it was not. Our country has never been so defenceless, and the world has not been thus dangerous for 80 years. Next time those of us who know try to warn you please listen, before it’s too late.
