My thoughts on the launch of Restore Britain. The political storm is just starting.

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

Where should illegal migrant detention centres should be located? Reform want to vindictively target Brits in potential Green constituencies to make a point and house illegals next to them - that is their choice. But I don't believe that we have time for this petty nonsense. A Restore Britain Government will not abandon residents of those constituencies who have a Green MP elected on 25% of the vote. That is not fair, and more importantly - it is not efficient. Restore Britain will focus on solving the problem, in the most ruthlessly efficient manner possible. Objective number one is quite clear - remove the illegal migrant population. That is not going to be completed through vengeful gimmicks. We won’t punish hardworking British men and women because their neighbours voted Green. We need a serious, systematic approach utilising the current state apparatus at first in order to rapidly scale our removal capabilities - our deportation paper goes into great detail about how to achieve this. This an incredibly complicated task. Removing two million plus illegal migrants will not be done overnight. It will not be done through deliberately choosing less efficient options to take revenge on constituencies who did not vote for us. We don’t have time for this petty nonsense. It is a mammoth challenge - it would be one of the biggest state policy implementations ever. We would construct detention facilities where they are most efficient, most secure, and most practical to operate - not based on shitty political point-scoring, but on what actually works and on what actually will remove these illegals on a timescale the British people expect. Because the aim is clear. To detain, process and remove those who have entered this country illegally, and to do so at scale. Millions will go. That requires infrastructure that is fit for purpose. Proper capacity. Proper security. Proper coordination with removals. Repurposed airports, ports, existing detention facilities - all of that can be deployed rapidly, wherever it is currently located. This takes proper thought, and proper planning. I am entirely uninterested in which constituency illegals are detained and removed. I don’t care about using taxpayer money to make political points that will inevitably slow down the removal process. I simply want them all deported in the most efficient timetable the British state can possibly achieve. Millions will go. That is what Restore Britain will do.

Six years on from lockdown. Restore Britain will quash all convictions for non-violent breaches of lockdown rules - nobody will have a criminal record for breaking insane laws that should never have been implemented. We will refund fines, and the state will apologise. A line will be drawn. Vast non-COVID medical harm directly caused by lockdown and fear messaging will be properly investigated. The truth will not be concealed any longer by an establishment complicit in the guilt. We will tell the truth. Life years lost will be how we measure lockdown's impact - demonstrating the horrific suffering that was inflicted on the young. Delayed diagnosis/missed treatment for cancer, heart attacks, everything. The impact on children's development will be fairly and independently analysed. The results will be presented, to show the damage that lockdown did to millions of children. For ZERO benefit. Targeted tax breaks will be introduced to industries still reeling from the impact. Those who lost their jobs because they refused to take the COVID vaccine will also be properly compensated for financial loss and reputational damage. A Restore Britain Government would apologise for vaccine mandates and passports. That was morally repugnant - it would be formally accepted by Parliament. Those who have lost their lives because of that will be recognised. The Vaccine Damage Payment scheme will be overhauled to actually deliver proper compensation to those affected today, and to the families of those who have lost loved ones. It should always have been an entirely free choice for adults - no persuasion, no blackmail, no mandates. None of it. I hated it. Those who implemented all of this will be investigated by a fully independent commission. If they have been found to falsely manipulate and twist the evidence to push a damaging pro-lockdown agenda, they will go to prison. If they were found to allow the injection of healthy young children with that vaccine, knowing the damage that would be caused? Prosecutions will follow. To the many decent Reform voters who hold the same concerns… If you want to campaign to put Nadhim Zahawi into Parliament, that is your choice. Stay in Reform. The man wanted to allow children to overrule their parents in order to take the COVID vaccine? Can you back him? Ask yourself that honestly. Restore Britain will fight to keep him out. Join us. Accountability is what we need. And that is what Restore Britain would deliver. A political party to finally fight for lockdown accountability. We won’t simply pretend none of it ever happened. We will ensure that it doesn’t happen again, and we will ensure that those who were responsible are held accountable.
