The soaring cost of living is suffocating, but let’s not pretend that this is some unstoppable phenomenon.
This is caused by politicians, and it can be solved by politicians - just different politicians who have the courage to do what needs to be done, however unpopular that may be.
Above all else, we need to brutalise the size of the state. I mean brutalise. Like nothing that has ever been seen. A public sector bonfire that is visible from space - that is what Restore Britain would do.
We would deliver a Britain that lives within its means. In fact, we would be forced to go further. The immediate priority has to be paying off the national debt. Vast interest repayments on that debt are a boot on Britain’s neck. Billions and billions, just spent on interest. No household could live like that, so why can we allow the country to do so?
This is debt in our name. It's on us. Our children and grandchildren. What an inheritance that is.
We need to cut the debt, not just the deficit.
I am going to be entirely honest here. That will be painful - really, really painful. There are no easy solutions, no easy times. We had that, and it’s led us here. To hard times. We now need hard solutions. That’s just the honest truth. Don’t like it? Don’t vote Restore Britain. I’m not promising some utopia like the others. I’m telling the truth. What a mad idea that is.
There is one answer, and one answer only.
Hack down the size of the state, and drastically reduce tax. Bring it all down, in a way that’s never been seen before in Britain.
And yes, that will mean the state does less. GOOD. I want hardworking families to keep more of THEIR money, and they can decide how it’s spent. Thresholds raised, rates slashed. VAT, alcohol duty, fuel duty - all cut. Resist the stealth taxes they all pretend don’t exist. We will REWARD work.
I think the state is bad.
I think the individual is good.
I trust the individual to make the decisions that are best for them and their family. I do not trust the bureaucrat to spend your money in the best possible way. Do you?
Growth only comes from the following things.
A far smaller state. Lower taxes. More people working. Fewer people scrounging. Cheaper energy. Stronger borders. A secure society. Actual production.
I want the Government to do a very small list of things, but to do them very well.
Protect our people, protect our borders, protect our interests. Other than that, no thanks.
That is the only way to get the cost of living under control, there is no other way.
We must crush parasitic Britain.
There is now a political party dedicated to doing exactly that.
Restore Britain.
