If there is any lesson to be taken from the pandemic, the Ukraine War, and now the Iran War, it is that Britain must become self-reliant in our most critical sectors. According to DEFRA, we rely on foreign imports for over a third of our food supply. In 2024, 44% of our energy was imported. Generic drugs account for around 80% of prescriptions in Britain, yet we produce only a fraction of what we need and remain heavily dependent on countries like India and China. Food, energy, and medicine. Pretty fundamental to a functioning first-world country, yet we are prepared to gamble our security in the name of "efficiency". Reshoring essential industries like these must be a priority for any government that wants to insulate our people from the chaos unfolding beyond the shores of Britain. This is a matter of national security, not mere fiscal policy. It would also bring high-quality jobs, industrial capacity, and investment back to Britain rather than sending them overseas. Everyone wins!

Restore Britain’s economic policy is about two words - freedom and fairness. We must become globally competitive, all whilst ensuring our own people are the ones feeling the benefits. Open to investment and creating an attractive home to build a business. But currently we are suffering with a broken system that is incredibly uncompetitive, overly complex, and yet amazingly permissive when it comes to the extraction of our wealth. Corporation tax has risen. The regulatory burden has grown. Money flees Britain. We are living in the worst of all worlds. It stinks. We can all feel the unfairness in the air. Billions of pounds generated within the British economy continue to flow out of the country each year through dividends, intra-company transfers, and other shady complex mechanisms - often with limited reinvestment and very often, sod all tax paid. Huge corporates stripping the British economy of its wealth. Under a Restore Britain Government, this will end. This is unfair, this is unsustainable. This is not what we want. It places an ever-greater burden on those who cannot restructure their affairs with expensive accountants or move their income offshore. British workers, British sole traders, and British small business owners. On those who we rely so heavily, the current deal is a crap deal. The global corporates benefit, decent British men and women suffer. It is rotten. Restore Britain takes a very different view. The solution is not to retreat away from proper competition, nor to tax, tax tax. Instead, Britain must become both more competitive and more disciplined - a country that rewards enterprise while insisting on responsibility and fairness for the British people. Firstly. Britain should have the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe. If Britain wishes to attract businesses, create jobs, and generate growth, it must offer a tax environment that is not merely competitive, but leading. Undercut our neighbours. Go for their business. We must be ruthless. Send a powerful signal. Britain is once again serious about growth, serious about enterprise, and serious about rewarding those who build and invest. But this alone is not enough. A low-tax system that is easily exploited does not serve the British people. Any low tax environment must matched by a determination to ensure that wealth generated here contributes fairly to the country in which it is created. Our country. Our economy. Our success. Currently, large volumes of profit are distributed overseas through dividends and complex corporate structures allow for the shifting of profits out of the Britain on an industrial scale. This is morally wrong. Restore Britain would address this imbalance directly and unashamedly. We would introduce fair and proportionate withholding taxes on dividends paid to overseas shareholders, ensuring that profits generated in Britain deliver a reasonable return to the British economy. Not shifted off to some low-tax paradise, stripping the British economy of its own wealth and rewards. Restore Britain would tighten the rules around profit-shifting and complex offshore arrangements, closing loopholes that exist purely to sneak money out of Britain. All of this would be paired with a system that actively encourages reinvestment so that the incentive to do this would be lower and lower. There would be no need to extract wealth to a low tax environment, because Britain would be that low tax environment. Businesses that retain profits in the UK investing in jobs, infrastructure, research, and expansion should benefit from a simpler, more favourable tax regime. If you want to contribute to our economy and infrastructure, you will be rewarded for doing so. The five golden rules of business. What’s. In. It. For. Me. Restore Britain’s objective is not to penalise success, but to align business incentives with the long-term interests of the country. This is not complicated, it really isn’t. For too long, the debate has been framed as a binary choice between being pro-business or pro-fairness. We disagree. Britain can and should be both. A country that attracts investment and rewards enterprise - but also one that ensures that the benefits of that growth are not systematically and deliberately extracted elsewhere to benefit foreign people and foreign lands. If wealth is created in Britain, a fair share of it should remain in Britain - supporting local economies, from which our country’s success will flow. Restore Britain will build an economy that does not work only for those who can freely move their untaxed money across borders, but for those who live, work, and raise families in our country. Those who want an economy built on low, but fair, taxation - there is now a political party you can support. Restore Britain.

Check out the ten-year gilt yield this morning - after the UK's likely next Prime Minister tried to lecture international investors about the intricacies of fiscal policy and the UK's national accounts. A subject about which she clearly knows absolutely nothing. Nice one @AngelaRayner !!! Markets now demanding 4.9% per annum to lend money to the British government. In Morocco, it's 3.4%. And get this. In February 2026, the UK government a massive £14.3 billion - according to figures released this morning. No less than £13 billion of that money borrowed last month went on interest payments on existing debt. Think about that for one second - it's utterly insane. The UK's national accounts are now akin to a Ponzi scheme. And yet still, lunatic MPs and potential Prime Ministers call for ever more borrowing and spending - "because it's the right thing to do" Labour's chronic economic illiteracy and internal party-political posturing is driving the UK economy off a cliff ... ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

This story below reveals the true extent of Angela Rayner's cluelessness when it comes to economics, the public finances and financial markets. I say that not with glee - but deep alarm and regret. If this is really how the probable next Prime Minister of the UK thinks - betting markets put a more than 50% chance on leadership coup by June - then the ousting of Starmer/Reeves by Rayner (or Miliband) is likely to spark an instant spike in gilt yields, from their already elevated levels. Just the fact that Rayner has said what she has below will put yet more upward pressure on the market-driven borrowing costs – whatever the Bank of England says is these days mere mood – that drive the interest rates faced by firms and households. I have nothing against more social housing – on the contrary, the arguments in favour of building more are at the heart of my book "Home Truths", along with policy mechanisms that could get that done. But if you think that, in the current environment, hard-nosed international creditors do - or even should - give a monkey's about the "social benefits" of subsidised housing then you are utterly and dangerously deluded. Again, I say this in sorrow, not glee. I knew plenty of smart people at the top of successive Blair governments. The architects of New Labour – at least the Blairites – always made sure there were financially literate and market-savvy people in the room when big decisions were made. That was important back then - when the national debt Britain had to service was 35pc of GDP. Now – with the same metric pushing 100pc of GDP and Britain paying more than Morocco to borrow money – it is absolutely vital. It seems that there is no-one – NO-ONE AT ALL – near the top of today's Labour government who has the first clue about the realities of public accounts and global finance. These are – once again – NOT tribal or party-political points, but statements of cold fact ....
