Restore Britain will end all foreign language translation in the public sector, saving hundreds and hundreds of millions. If you live in our country, you speak our language.





Britain went from superpower to sick man of Europe in the space of a single generation, largely thanks to decisions made in one single parliamentary term 1945-1950. We destroyed our competitiveness and gave the whip hand to unions that prioritised retaining existing jobs over creating new ones. Companies didn’t die overnight. But as international competitors innovated - eg cutting jobs in one area and growing them in another, adding more technology or automation, becoming more efficient. British firms could do none of that. Held to ransom by union barons that didn’t care for the growth or success of the company, only for their own remuneration. At the expense of the growth of the company. One by one our industries died, some staggering on as zombies reliant on state subsidy to survive. When the subsidy stopped they were finally put out of their misery. How anyone could look at the postwar consensus and think that’s what we need now is genuinely baffling. A one way road to ruin.


… and Defence secretary John Healey has just now refused to take a question from @GBNEWS today at his briefing in 9 Downing St. This is an insult to our viewers and listeners. I cannot remember a worse morning for snubbing of our Channel by this Government.




I welcome the ceasefire agreement reached overnight, which will bring a moment of relief to the region and the world. Together with our partners we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.


Pushed my luck on the slopes this Easter showing off to my daughters. Thankfully there’s no shortage of sport on TV this month!
