Friday the 13th doesn’t seem so ominous anymore now that every day carries a threatening aura.

A View From Yorkshire
A View From Yorkshire@models_by_Russ·
Just listened to a British mum break down in tears on LBC. Three children. Facing eviction. At the end of her rope and she doesn’t know where to turn. You could hear the panic in her voice. Not anger, not politics — just a mum terrified she’s about to lose the roof over her children’s heads. That’s the reality for a lot of people in this country right now. People working, trying their best, paying their taxes, doing everything they were told was the “right way” to live. And yet they’re the ones falling through the cracks. Now here’s where the madness kicks in. Because in the same country, with the same taxpayer money, we have politicians floating the idea of giving £40,000 to illegal immigrants to leave the UK voluntarily. Let’s just pause and read that phrase again. Illegal immigrant. The clue is literally in the first word — illegal. Someone who has entered or remained in the country unlawfully… and the brilliant solution from our political class is apparently to hand them forty thousand pounds and politely ask them to leave. You couldn’t make it up. So let’s get this straight. A British mum is crying on national radio because she can’t keep a roof over her kids’ heads… …but if you arrive in the country illegally, the big brain policy idea is to hand you £40,000 of taxpayers’ money as a goodbye present. Do not pass Go. Do not collect £200. Except now the rule seems to be: Do collect £40,000. No wonder people are furious. No wonder people feel the system is upside down. This isn’t about hating anyone. It’s about basic fairness. If the country can find tens of thousands of pounds to hand out to people who shouldn’t be here in the first place, then how on earth can we not find the support to stop a British mother and her children becoming homeless? Where are the priorities? Because from the outside it looks like the people running this country are completely detached from the reality most of us are living in. People working hard, paying taxes, trying to raise families — while decisions made in Westminster feel like they come from another planet entirely. Listening to that poor woman today was heartbreaking. And if our politicians had even a fraction of the common sense most ordinary people have, they’d realise something very simple: A government’s first responsibility should always be to the people already living in the country. But judging by policies like this… that basic principle seems to have been completely forgotten. And that’s exactly why so many people feel like this country is being run by people who haven’t got the faintest clue what life is actually like outside Westminster.

I live in a country where a 97YO woman died on the floor after being told she'd have to wait ten days for an ambulance- And a double child killer and serial sex offender who subjected two 10YO girls to unspeakable acts then burned their bodies, is airlifted to hospital.

There’s no such thing as 'Government funded', everything is Tax-payer funded.

Tackling the cost of living is my government’s number one priority. National Living Wage and the Pension Triple lock increased from April. Rail fares frozen. Extending free school meals, 5p fuel duty and capping bus fares at £3. Change does not happen overnight, but change is happening.

Britain when I was in my 30s was THE best country to live in the world. London was THE best city. I cannot tell you what a special place it was. Everyone, all over the world, wanted to live in Britain. I look now at the cards our country has dealt young British men and women? It’s a proper miserable deal, isn’t it? Student loans, for example. It is a suffocating graduate debt. NINE percent, over a very low threshold. That’s just brutal. Any real chance of saving, gone. NINE grand a year to even go to university. We break their backs before they even start working. Restore Britain would scrap interest on student loans altogether - funded by removing eligibility to foreign nationals who in the many, many thousands abscond and fail to pay a penny back. Wider tax, even more pain. Just remember, workers, when you’re walking to the office in the pissing rain that your efforts are funding some Somalian family to sit on benefits doing sod all. You work, so others don’t have to. We would ban foreigners from benefits altogether, and we could get the healthy British shirking class off their backsides and out picking litter and cleaning graffiti. Painful, yes. Necessary, absolutely. We need to brutally cut tax, and brutally slash down the size of the state. Do those two things in tandem, and just watch how the clouds lift for men and women who are putting in the hours and getting nowhere. Let’s say a young couple manage to scratch together 20k for a deposit after paying 2k a month in rent. What do they get? A pokey little flat in Lewisham? They don’t even own it, due to ludicrous leasehold rules? Spending an hour commuting each way, on filthy, packed trains? Not exactly the American dream is it? The system STINKS. Possibly one positive development thanks to technology - working from home. Farage wants it to end, and attacks the idea of ‘work-life’ balance. Restore Britain’s position is clear on private sector employees working from home - WE DO NOT CARE. And actually, a positive work-life balance is a good thing. People care, people are happy, they work better. Anyone who has actually run a proper business would understand that. People my age say oh well the youngsters don’t work hard enough, they don’t save, they spend too much. Possibly for some. False for an overwhelming majority. It is an objective fact that buying a home when I was younger was SO much easier than now. Cutting down on flat whites will not solve the entire problem, CLEARLY. Look at childcare. Maybe they want to start a family. Good for them. Oh wait, they examine the costs of childcare. Thousands a month. When the damn thing is only open six hours a day. Vast waiting list to even get in? It just doesn't work. Nothing works. Restore Britain would give vast tax breaks to working parents to ensure that a parent can stay with the child if they choose, or make childcare more affordable. Reward families with meaningful relief. Raise thresholds, widen VAT exemptions for essential child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs. We would front-load child benefit - pay more of the money in the earlier years, when the help is really required. Only British nationals would be eligible to receive that. Stamp duty, gone for British nationals. An insidious tax that further punishes ambition and success. We will support young men and women who want to get on, build a family and find their way in the world. I want these people to have the same opportunity that my generation had. That's all. The vast majority want a Government that will enable them to succeed, and then leave them the hell alone. They now have a political party that will do exactly that. Restore Britain.

The choices this Labour government has made means inflation has fallen today to its lowest rate in a year. Lower food and petrol prices are helping ease the pressure on household budgets. I know there’s more to do, cutting the cost of living is my number one priority.
