Labour risks being forced to seek emergency help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as Britain lurches toward a debt crisis, leading economists are now warning.
Former IMF chief economist Ken Rogoff says, in a new interview, that there is “more than 50:50 chance” of a major UK debt crisis before the end of this decade.
He is joined by Sir Charlie Bean, a former senior official at both the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility, who says the need for an IMF bail-out is now a “material risk” for the British economy.
I not only firmly agree with Ken Rogoff and Sir Charlie Bean – but have been repeatedly issuing the very same warnings for a very long time.
Because the grave risk of a major fiscal meltdown has been apparent for at least the last two years – to anyone who combines serious knowledge of UK economics and politics and global debt markets with an open mind.
The UK's public finances were already fragile when Labour took office back in July 2024.
But this government's misguided, ideologically-driven statist policies have made a bad situation much worse, seriously increasing the danger of a deep fiscal crisis - which would cause a disastrous state funding shortfall and a very nasty inflation spike.
That would result in Downing Street being forced to follow the orders of unelected technocrats flown in from Washington and elsewhere.
It would be a very major national humiliation combined with a deep economic slump and an even more intense cost-of-living crisis – in which low-income households, as ever, would suffer the most.
Yet those of us that have shown the brains and courage to point out these inconvenient truths over recent months and years have long been dismissed and derided for our trouble - not only by ignorant politicians and approval-seeking journalists but also the overwhelming majority of "leading economists".
Ahead of the general election in mid-2024, with Labour on course to win, the conventional wisdom among the great sages of broadsheet journalism and the economics establishment was that "the adults would soon be back in charge" ... Labour would "get lucky with the economy" ... and "Britain would now enjoy an extended period of political and fiscal stability".
I thought that was total nonsense – not least as I was well aware Labour's plans irresponsibly to increase borrowing and spending would be met with deep scepticism by the global pensions funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors that lend governments serious money.
My weekly @Telegraph "Economic Agenda" column of 23rd June 2024, a fortnight ahead of the general election, was a total outlier. I recounted the disaster of 1976 – when Britain was forced to go "cap in hand" to the IMF for a bailout – and warned that "The Ghosts of the 1970s" would haunt Labour's (so-called) economic resurrection".
Six months later, after the October 2024 "Hallowen" budget in which Chancellor Rachel Reeves did indeed sharply hike borrowing and spending, I assessed the market reaction then doubled-down – warning more assertively in my column of 12th January 2025 that "The UK risks a return to 1976 unless Reeves changes course".
And then again on 20th July 2025, as Labour's policies raised the costs of doing business, translating into price pressures which pushed up government borrowing costs even more, I again cautioned that "Inflation risks are taking Britain to the debt-crisis cliff edge".
"It’s now screamingly obvious that Labour’s crude Keynesianism – “pump priming” the economy by upping state borrowing and spending – isn’t working," I wrote in that column last July.
"Worse than that, this Government’s actions are pushing Britain towards a budgetary crisis every bit as serious as that in 1976 – when the UK was forced to go “cap in hand” to the IMF for a bail-out".
It's been a lonely task issuing these warnings. I've been hounded in public debates, slagged off by senior civil servants and often dismissed by "leading economists" as "alarmist".
So what do these same "leading economists" now say to Rogoff (Harvard Professor, Former IMF Chief Economist) and Bean (LSE Professor and Former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England)?
The "economics establishment" – with very few honourable exceptions, the brilliant @jagjit_chadha among them – has been and remains extremely reluctant to point out the deeply unsustainable nature of this government's addiction to ever more borrowing.
The systemic fiscal dangers of evermore "tax and spend" – and the prospect of a serious spike in gilt yields and related fiscal meltdown – are now so real and present as to be completely undeniable.
Yet the UK government is about to shift even further to the left, pushing up borrowing and spending even more under a new leader, in a bid to appease the massed ranks of economic illiterates among Labour's Parliamentary party and activist base – making those dangers even more acute.
Yet, still, the silence among "public intellectual" economists is deafening.
I'm glad the likes of Ken Rogoff and Charlie Bean are now issuing clear warnings. So where is the rest of the "economics establishment" - those who purport to understand fiscal management and financial markets, and often funded by taxpayers' money?
Britain is now clearly in the crosshairs of a very serious danger. The government's creditors are increasingly fickle and based overseas – with no regulatory or cultural obligations to lend money to the UK government.
Those holding UK gilts are increasingly "speculative" rather than "strategic" long-term investors – looking for quick returns, financing their government bond purchases with "leverage" (money borrowed from elsewhere), which will quickly be withdrawn when senitment decisively shifts, causing a plunge in gilt prices and a sharp additional surge in government borrowing costs, setting up a vicious circle.
The UK government is very heavily indebted – and the global investors we rely on to bankroll a huge slice of our state spending are alarmed that of the £132bn the government borrowed last year, no less than £110bn was spent on debt interest – as I wrote in a column on 17th May 2026, "As Labour lurches further left, the markets are calling time".
Global investors are alarmed the UK has consistently had the highest inflation in the G7 (which pushes up borrowing costs) and has easily the highest share of index-linked debt (which magnifies the burden of inflation on the state's balance sheet).
And they are deeply, deeply alarmed that when Labour came to power in mid-2024, the Office for Budget Responsibility was forecasting additional state borrowing of £323bn by 2029, the scheduled end of this Parliament.
But Labour’s runaway spending and growth-crushing tax rises mean that the same five-year borrowing forecast is now £583bn – 80pc higher. And still, the trade unions, MPs and Labour activists who will choose Starmer’s successor now want even more.
It is not too late to pull the UK back from the fiscal brink, to avoid the extremely painful and deep, lingering damage of being forced to go to the IMF and perhaps other multi-lateral creditors for a bailout.
It is not too late to avoid the inflation surge, the currency crash, the shocking blow to consumer and business confidence alongside the sky-high interest rates that will seriously whack our economy – or the perhaps even deeper damage of yet more of the British electorate losing faith in the ability of our establishment to manage the country in a manner that avoids imposing serious hardship on so many hard-working people simply trying to make their way.
But our political and media class needs to start acknowledging the economic and financial truth – that the UK government is borrowing and spending too much, taxation is now so high that it's hammering growth and employment, and that trying to finally get the economy moving by "moving further left", borrowing and spending even more, will result in a fiscal collapse.
Smart, experienced, high-profile economists need to start speaking out – as Rogoff and Bean just have – raising the alarm in a bid to force the broader establishment to face reality. Before it's too late.
If you've read this far, you clearly think this analysis is worthwhile and important. So please like and share.

The idea that all politicians must zip it, like Mr Collins in the presence of Lady de Burgh, whenever a bereaved family calls (whether or not on the advice of the police) for calm, no political divisiveness etc, is beyond absurd and very convenient for whoever caused the problem.
Since Andy Burnham wants to be the next Labour leader, here’s a reminder:
Andy accused victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs of trying to “propagandise” the issue.
He tried to block the grooming gangs inquiry in Manchester and nationally.
He claimed that Pakistani-Muslims grooming gangs are a “thing of the past” despite clear evidence that little girls are still being victimised to this day, including in his local area.
And what does he call the LITTLE GIRLS who were raped under his watch?
Not children.
Not little girls.
“Young women.”
Even on the most basic level, Burnham tried to shift the blame onto victims and refused to acknowledge that they were children.
Countless little girls were raped, exploited and even murdered by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs, while powerful men like him turned a blind eye.
Andy Burnham belongs in prison, not Parliament.
And certainly not in 10 Downing Street.
Well worth a listen. The wonderful thing about Trevor Phillips is he has never been prepared to ignore bullshit and naked hypocrisy in public life without calling it out, wherever it comes from.
Protests in Southampton tonight. Do NOT give the state ANY excuse to throw you in prison. Because they will use anything.
I know people are angry. I am angry. But do not throw your life away doing something you will later regret.
The police need to treat protestors fairly, and any unacceptable behaviour by any officers must be recorded and called out.
But I will say this again.
Do not get violent.
That is not how we win.
We win at the ballot box, peacefully and democratically.
We win by electing Restore Britain across our country.
It's the only way.
Starting and running a business in Britain in 2026 - let’s go through it, step by step…
You've got a good idea. You've worked hard, saved some money, and decided to take a risk. A big decision. Let's say you want to open a coffee shop - nothing overly extravagant. Surely this is possible, right?
Available unit on a local high street, you see a gap in the market.
A simple ambition to build something. Create jobs. Generate wealth. Contribute to your local community. Maybe even build a better future for your family.
Exactly the sort of person politicians claim they admire.
Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong country to do it in.
Britain. 2026. Labour. Bugger.
The first thing you discover is that absolutely nothing is straightforward.
You register the business. Not impossible, but hardly simple. The foreign vape shop owners manage it, so why not you? Done. In fairness, not the most challenging part of this story...
Then comes the bank account - you’d think opening a business account would be a routine matter.
Instead, you're treated like a criminal. You want to sell coffee, not arms. The banks are simply out of control in this country. Just like the lawyers, but that’s a different story.
Legitimate entrepreneurs should not be waiting weeks while faceless compliance departments shuffle paperwork between themselves and refuse to answer questions - slash it all back and let people just get on with it.
Eventually you get through that hurdle and secure the premises.
Perfect location. Lots of footfall. Not a total dump. It can work.
Then reality arrives.
The rent is eye-watering - contracts have clause after clause after clause. How can anybody understand it all?
Insurance is through the roof. And before you've served a single coffee, the local authority is already getting its grubby hands on your money. Energy costs are so very painful...
Business rates - one of the most destructive taxes in Britain. And for what? What do we get from that money?
You are effectively punished for occupying premises and creating economic activity. For PAYING TAX. It is insane. A Restore Britain Government would abolish business rates entirely for small high street businesses. Pubs, cafes, bakeries. All of it. No business rates.
Then come the inspections. Oh joy. The paperwork. The bureaucracy. The council gnomes.
Nobody objects to basic standards. Of course cafes should be clean and safe.
The problem is that too much of the system now exists to justify the existence of regulators rather than help businesses succeed. They are there to prove that their job needs to exist. So rules get put on rules, on top of more rules. It is endless.
Many of the people enforcing these rules have never built a business, never employed anybody and never risked their own money. Never done anything. Work half weeks, with 30+ days holiday a year. Fridays at home, of course.
A profession filled with nit-picking gits.
Restore Britain would conduct a full bonfire of unnecessary regulations and introduce a simple principle. Every regulation should have to justify its existence - if it doesn't prevent genuine harm, it goes. It will be glorious. We will tear it all down.
But let’s say you get through this. You stumble on. The cafe opens, and goes well. People like it. It grows. The coffee is good. You need help. Another bureaucratic nightmare.
PAYE. National Insurance. Pensions. Employment contracts. Holiday entitlement. Workplace policies. Health and safety obligations.
The worst of all - HR.
You look at it all, and just think what’s the point? Is it worth the risk? That is a disaster for our economy, and a disaster for youngsters looking for work.
Restore Britain would slash back employer National Insurance, simplify employment law for small firms and create a framework that protects good employees without treating every employer as a potential criminal.
The HR-ification of Britain will end. If I had to pick a 'profession' I hate the most, HR has to be number one.
Employers will be able to sack employees for not doing the job properly.
It doesn’t matter if they’re black, gay, Muslim or whatever else. This ‘protected characteristic’ nonsense will be stripped away. The only protected characteristic we’re interested in is competence.
We will repeal The Equality Act 2010. This is key. This is where so much of the bullshit emanates from.
But let’s say you don’t want to bother. Maybe bringing in contracting services could work. Wrong.
IR35 - one of the most economically illiterate policies ever introduced by thick idiots in the civil service who have never created a job in their lives.
Restore Britain would scrap IR35 entirely - if two consenting adults wish to enter a genuine contracting arrangement, the state should keep its nose out. Who does what, when and for who is between those two individuals. IR35 is the first thing to go. Burn it and bury it.
But we do want apprenticeships. This is the way forward, and we would give companies tax breaks for developing and building local skills for young men and women. Crucial. I’ve been running an apprenticeship campaign in Great Yarmouth - looking to link local businesses with colleges. Progress made, but lots more to do.
As your business grows, your accountant becomes indispensable. Not because your accounting is particularly complicated or he’s a good bloke, but because the tax system has become absurdly complex. I used to do my own returns. No chance now.
Restore Britain would begin simplifying the tax code from top to bottom.
Tax should be low, simple and transparent. That’s what Restore Britain stands for.
Then comes one of the most notorious barriers in British business.
The VAT threshold.
You finally start making progress, and your turnover approaches the threshold.
Looks good on the face of it, but it’s actually horrific news - cross the line and suddenly everything changes. VAT is applied. What are you supposed to do? Pass the cost on to customers? What are they going to do when the cost of their morning order shoots up? Many firms deliberately limit growth because crossing the threshold creates such a financial shock. That is insanity.
Restore Britain would double the VAT threshold.
Growth should be rewarded, and we would do exactly that.
Somehow, you’re limping on and decide an expansion is needed - maybe a covered outdoor area let’s say. Add more seating. People like to eat outside. Surely this is straightforward?
Planning. The worst people on the planet, whose sole aim is to destroy economic ambition, growth and hope. I detest them all so very much.
Restore Britain would overhaul the system with a presumption in favour of economic development. If planners cannot make a decision within a fixed timeframe, approval should be automatic. We will not keep businesses waiting for months and months. It is simply unacceptable and unfair.
Same for licences to stay open later, host music, even god forbid serve alcohol - the bureaucrat’s nightmare. We wouldn’t want people enjoying themselves, would we?
Restore Britain would introduce another presumption backing small business activity unless there is a compelling reason to refuse it. If customers want to enjoy a drink later on with their friends, let’s make it happen - the burden should be on the regulator to justify their restrictions, not on the entrepreneur to justify growth. Again, let’s give them a time frame to object. If they can’t, it goes through. Job done.
That is what Restore Britain will deliver.
Then there are card payments. Every coffee, sandwich, bottle of water. People just are not using cash. So a small slice disappears off everything, but that turns into thousands. Restore Britain would review payment processing fees and increase competition in the sector.
We must reduce the cost of doing business. This is vital.
We come to HMRC. I hate these people so much. It’s far quicker for a benefits claimant to get hold of the DWP than it is for small business owners to speak to HMRC.
How mad is that?
Restore Britain would introduce meaningful accountability when HMRC gets things wrong, or simply doesn’t pick up the phone. Let’s link senior leadership pay to response times. That will get them jumping.
When you pay the tax, and sign it all off? The anger I feel when I think about where that money goes is not a positive experience. Funding hotel fry ups for Afghan men who have broken into our country. Restore Britain would indiscriminately deport the illegals, as you know, but this is a post about starting a business…
Back to HMRC. They whack me with tax inspection after tax inspection. I wonder why…
Awful people. If I ever get a sniff of power, I will tear that place apart limb by limb.
Then comes the final insult. The salt in the wound. The knife in the back.
You want to pay yourself. You've worked sixteen-hour days, seven days a week. You've risked everything.
You've missed weekends, holidays and family events.
You have carried all the risk.
The wife or husband is constantly pissed off because the phone doesn’t stop ringing.
Now perhaps you'd like some reward. Let’s look at what’s left...
Corporation tax takes a slice. Dividend tax takes another. Student loan repayments take more. National Insurance takes more. Income tax takes more. What’s left?
By the end of it, government has its sticky fingers in your pocket at every stage.
Restore Britain would establish the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe.
We would increase dividend allowances. Slash NI. Cut back income tax. Scrap interest on student loans.
In short - reward your hard work.
Entrepreneurs all over Britain are asking this question...
Why not take a comfortable public sector job, collect the salary, enjoy the pension, work from home, avoid the stress and leave somebody else to create the wealth? Why bother? What's the point?
If enough ambitious people think that, the economy stops functioning. We become even more reliant on the fat, bloated, squid like state.
Politicians in Westminster DO NOT understand what they are doing to businesses in Britain.
I listen to them talk about business and my ears bleed - you do not understand just how thick some of these people are. However bad you imagine, double it. You’re half way there.
It is time for a different sort of politics, a different type of politician.
Restore Britain will make Britain the easiest country in Europe to start, grow and succeed with your own business.
To our cafe owner, wondering if all the endless bullshit is worth it? My message is this…
Keep going. It will get better. Britain needs you.
There is good news - there is finally a political party on your side.
Restore Britain.
I think the British expect that those who would rule us should know what they’re talking about.
A fundamental purpose of interviews is to establish if they do (at least that was always my main purpose).
Often they reveal they don’t — as @BBCNewsnight has revealed with Mr Burnham.
Bradford.
Again.
Yet we have no confirmation Bradford will be included in the rape gangs inquiry.
Which raises the question: is it really a national inquiry?
Of course Bradford must be included.
Just like everywhere that this evil festers.

Lammy attacked those who didn’t take the knee or called it gesture politics when George Floyd was killed in America.
He called them “disrespectful” to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Now he’s changed his tune.
@KemiBadenoch And yet, not one of you have reached out to meet me, the mother of Rhiannon Whyte? Or help me get answers . I really hope Henry's family get the peace they deserve, because I know I won't, yet I've tried so many times.
Shabana Mahmood Called George Floyd's Death An Unspeakable Outrage. She Called Henry Nowak's A Political Grandstanding Opportunity.
On June 4th 2020, four days after George Floyd died in Minneapolis, Shabana Mahmood wrote to her constituents. She described his death as an unspeakable outrage. She shared the anger of the Black Lives Matter movement. She condemned Donald Trump in the strongest possible terms. She pledged to ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She signed it with a Black Lives Matter hashtag.
This week Shabana Mahmood stood at the despatch box and told the House of Commons there must be no two tier policing. She said the police have a sacred duty to act without fear or favour. She warned that anyone using Henry Nowak's murder to stoke division should be rejected.
Henry Nowak died on December 3rd 2025. Mahmood said nothing for days. The Commons Speaker had to order the government to make a statement. When she finally spoke she described the national outcry as political grandstanding and accused those naming the problem of stoking division.
Four days after George Floyd died she had already written to her constituents. Four days after Henry Nowak's killer was convicted she had to be ordered to speak by the Speaker of the House.
The letter she wrote in 2020 is worth reading carefully because it is the most precise document available for understanding what happened this week. She writes that her work deeply reflects the cause for social and racial justice. She writes that she will carry on working to ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She writes that she wants her work to continue to be reflective of black and ethnic minority experiences in Birmingham.
Not all voices. Black voices. Not all experiences. Black and ethnic minority experiences. That is the Home Secretary who told Parliament this week there must be no two tier policing. Her own letter is a precise description of two tier political engagement. One standard applied to George Floyd. A different standard applied to Henry Nowak.
The progressive institutional machinery was operational within hours of Floyd's death. The hashtag was ready. The language was ready. The political network was ready. Mahmood's letter was part of that machinery. It was produced within four days because the machinery runs automatically when the case fits the framework. Black Lives Matter had been founded in 2013. By 2020 it had dozens of local chapters, a global network, corporate donors worth hundreds of millions of dollars and political allies embedded across every major Western government. When Floyd died every node of that network activated simultaneously. Mahmood's letter was one activation among millions.
Henry Nowak's case does not fit the framework. His killer used the progressive framework as the murder weapon. His case does not vindicate the ideology of anti-racism training. It exposes it. And the Home Secretary whose entire political career has been built around that ideology found herself at the despatch box this week condemning its most visible consequence while declining to name its cause.
She wrote in 2020 that she would ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She has kept that promise. The question Henry Nowak's family is entitled to ask is which voices were heard at the heart of the institutions that trained the officers who handcuffed their son. The Hampshire Race Action Plan. The NPCC guidance. The College of Policing practice bank. The Metropolitan Police neutrality myth. All of it built by the same political framework Mahmood has spent her career advancing.
There must be no two tier policing. She is right. The letter she wrote in 2020 explains precisely why there is.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
The BBC has just released a statement about their outrageous decision to exclude Restore Britain from yesterday’s Makerfield Question Time - explaining they consider ‘panel selection carefully’ and they ‘recognise the multi-party nature of UK politics’.
This is the most blatant example of BBC bias I have ever witnessed - it is scandalous.
They had the irrelevant Lib Dems and Tories, along with the Greens. We will outpoll all of them combined, easily.
Ask yourself. Why is the rotten establishment so desperate to censor Restore Britain?
Here is why.
Restore Britain’s policy platform is robust and unapologetic.
We will do what needs to be done.
- The largest deportation programme ever seen in Britain to remove those migrants living in our country illegally. The entire asylum system will be abolished. The boats will stop.
- Net negative immigration. Far more must leave than arrive.
- If a foreign national can’t speak English, lives in social housing, claims benefits, doesn’t work, hates our way of life - they go too. If millions go, millions go.
- Close entire visa routes from countries proven to supply us with illegals, criminals and sex pests. The immigration ‘Red List’. We will discriminate.
- Fairer spouse visas - so that British men and women can bring their spouses to Britain without the endless bureaucracy and cost currently inflicted on them.
- An overhaul of British agriculture that puts growing and farming at the heart of any policy for rural Britain. Food security is national security. Slash red tape, simplify payments, ease planning laws, encourage farm diversification and more. Crucially, help youngsters into agriculture. We will ensure a level playing field for British farmers.
- Restore Britain will force the British public sector will buy British - it will support British farmers, producers and small businesses.
- We will encourage and fund youngsters to take up apprenticeships and learn a proper skill instead of some nonsense university degree. Teach children at school the life skills they will actually need in modern Britain.
- An education system that teaches, respects and celebrates British history and the triumphant contribution our little island has made to the world.
- Businesses freed from crushing regulation, red tape and tax. Reward hard work. Let entrepreneurs enjoy their success.
- Lowest corporation tax in Europe. IR35 scrapped. VAT threshold doubled. HMRC brutally slashed back. Dividend thresholds raised.
- High streets restored. Safe, secure and welcoming. Business rates for small businesses abolished. Turkish barbers, vape shops and other suspicious businesses investigated. Graffiti cleaned, litter picked. Pavements fixed. We will make Britain clean again, and we will take pride in our communities again.
- We will implement free parking in select areas to drive back footfall from the retail parks and back into our town centres. Councils will be forced to accept common sense.
- Fly-tippers will be crushed under the law. It will not be tolerated. Foreigners indulging in the destruction of our countryside will be deported.
- Personal tax slashed. Trust families to spend their money, not the bureaucrats.
- Put pro-family policy at the heart of everything we do. If British families want to have more children, let’s use the power of the state to enable that. Make childcare more accessible and more affordable.
- Reform family courts - so that good, decent fathers, and mothers, are not kept away from their children for malicious reasons. This is important.
- Trust parents to make the best decisions for their families. A limited number of days for a term-time holiday for well-developed children. This is just common sense.
- Restore Britain will make Britain safe again. No-nonsense policing that does what it needs to do. Widespread stop and search back - accusations of racism will stop nothing. Brutal sentences for carrying a knife. Foreign criminals deported, third world sex pests removed before their feet can touch the ground.
- Welfare radically slashed back. Those who can work, will work. Litter picking, graffiti cleaning, whatever else. Don’t like it? No benefits. That simple.
- Support those Brits who genuinely need the help, particularly children, but under a Restore Britain Government the piss-take will end.
- A foreign policy that puts the British interest above all else - proudly and unapologetically. We won’t participate in never-ending foreign wars. We will act when, and only when, the British interest is served.
- Rebuild and rearm Britain. We will have a big stick, and we will wave it when we want.
- A comprehensive support system for British veterans - including fast tracked recruitment into immigration enforcement field roles.
- Arbitrary foreign aid targets that serve no British interests, gone.
- Restore Britain will reverse the creeping islamification of Britain - no burqas, sharia courts, halal slaughter and so on. Cousin marriage will be banned. If you want to sleep with your family, this is not the country for you. This is Britain, we do things our way.
- Exemptions for barbaric religious practices will be removed. Gladly.
- Anti-white racism, eradicated. No more DEI. The Equality Act repealed, along with the various iterations of the Race Relations Act.
- Self-defence rights restored. If an intruder tries to kill you in your home, and they end up dead? So be it. That’s their problem. Pepper spray legalised.
- End the war on motorists. Cut fuel duty, no more 20mph zones. Motorway speed limit raised to 80mph. Sort out our decaying road network.
- Biological reality respected. Men are men. Women are women. No amount of surgery will ever change that. That filth will be kept away from children.
- Inheritance tax abolished - for farms, for small businesses, for everyone. The scam will end. Death will no longer be taxed under a Restore Britain Government.
- An infrastructure first housing policy. Developers forced to fund proper infrastructure before a shovel goes in the ground. British homes for British families.
- A Government that prioritises building roads, bridges and projects HERE in Britain. Can you even imagine it?!
- We will purse a British first energy strategy. Net zero will be scrapped. Domestic energy production will be ruthlessly prioritised. Nuclear, oil/gas, fracking. We will make it happen.
- End the lockdown legacy. Inquiry into COVID vaccine harms, lockdown convictions quashed, a truly independent look at how that was all allowed to happen.
- No Digital ID, ever. Repeal the Online Safety Act. Protect free speech.
- Defund the rotten BBC. Make it a subscription service and let it wither on the vine.
- A binding referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty for the most evil criminals. One of my favourites.
- A national strategy, working from the findings of the rape gang inquiry, to ruthlessly tackle and decapitate the national crime network of primarily Pakistani muslim sexual slavery, torture and murder.
- Restore Britain will end political Islam. Abolish postal voting except for those in genuine need. Remove voting rights for foreign nationals.
- Foreign language translation ended, in the NHS and beyond. You live in England, you speak English.
- The NHS will be restored as the NATIONAL health service. Serving British people as its first and only priority. It will accept ultra-high skilled migrants to work, it will not support millions of low-skilled migrants who contribute nothing, yet take so much.
- Free car parking for NHS staff, patients and visitors on tight permits. We all pay for the NHS, we shouldn’t be ripped off for the sodding parking too. Especially medical staff.
- Medical school caps will be demolished. We will allow talented young British men and women to train in medicine - the NHS will then be forced to employ them over foreign staff. We will prioritise our own people.
- Reclaim our fisheries - take back our seas and take back our fish. We will take back control. Finally.
- The quangocracy will end. Power will be returned to the people through their MPs. Parliament will be empowered.
- Restore Britain will crush the parasitic state. It will all be hacked back in the most spectacular fashion. Unlike anything Britain has seen before.
I could go on.
This is a platform that millions and millions of British men and women are agreeing with.
The BBC does not want you to hear about it. So please, tell your friends/family. Get the message out there.
There is finally a political party with the balls to put you all first - to put the British people first.
Restore Britain.
DEI is a red herring. The erosion of the police as a functioning entity foes back to the 1980s. They were tasked with policing foreign communities they had no knowledge of, and didn't understand, that necessarily required the development of "community networks" and "community leaders" as a public interface - and it metastasised from there.
Police and local authorities could not impose "British values" on third world rural peasantry, so compromises had to be made just to keep order - and they've been plate spinning ever since. What you then get is disparate groups lobbying for their own concessions, while police commands attempt to ensure it's evenly policed according to the principles of neutrality. It could never withstand the weight of all the contradictions, and now it's all breaking down.
You can't really blame the police for this. They were given an impossible job and then set up to fail. DEI is just a formalised framework for the ideological handcuffs they were already wearing. The bottom line is that multiculturalism doesn't work, was never going to work. The only way out of this is to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone equally, and come down hard on anyone who can't live with that - regardless of their cultual sensibiltities. There's only one reason politicians haven't already conceded the obvious and it's pure moral cowardice - putting their heads in the sand and hoping it would all come right.
Consequently, without political leadership and moral support, the police have been hung out to dry - constantly berated and slandered for doing an impossible job. It was only a matter of time before they completely lost the trust of the public. While you can scrap DEI and all the HR frameworks, that only goes so far. Nothing changes without moral leadership from the top - enabling police to do their jobs without looking over their shoulders.
Henry Nowak’s father, Mark, was clear that Henry was the victim of two-tier policing.
White boy cuffed and not believed, left to die.
Brown man not cuffed even when under arrest and taken to the kitchen to choose food at the police station.
“The contrast is unbearable.”
Yes.
It is genuinely bizarre that UK has a College of Policing that teaches Critical Race Theory and other identity bollocks to aspiring coppers.
It’s a cult. No common sense. Zero humanity.
It left Henry to die.
Urgently need to go back to without fear or favour policing
Remember the workplace rules:
Muslims protest a police station after Muslim men are arrested for punching a police woman in the face, breaking her nose?
- Authentic, valid expression of grievances.
Brits protest a police station after a white teenager dies in police custody while the police assist his killers?
- Violent far-right thuggery.
Latest thoughts on Sturgeon-Murrell from @TimesRadio — The Times at One with Andrew Neil:
The Nicola Sturgeon—Peter Murrell SNP financial scandal is the gift that keeps on giving.
We now know that Murrell bought 108 loo rolls just 24 hours before his wife told the people of Scotland not to stockpile during the pandemic.
Maybe that’s why Sturgeon couldn’t see the now notorious camper van parked on her mother-in-law’s driveway — her husband had shielded it with the loo rolls.
She did admit to seeing the expensive new e-Jag her husband also bought with embezzled cash — how could she not, there’s a picture of her walking past it on their driveway? — but never thought to mention it. Well, we’re all used to flash new cars suddenly appearing on our driveways.
We’re also assured by Sturgeon that she never really clocked the expensive coffee machines in her kitchen — apparently there were several — because she was rarely in the kitchen. Then we were reminded that on Desert Island Discs her choice of a luxury item was — you guessed it — a fancy coffee machine.
We also learned that when Sturgeon said she had fully co-operated with the police when they brought her in for questioning, what she meant was she’d said ‘no comment’ to every question the police asked. Can’t wait for that bit in a future docu-drama.
She was then allowed to provide written answers but, strangely, never brought back to be interrogated about them by the police. Let’s hope we can all expect that consideration at the hands of Police Scotland.
Rather more serious questions remain unanswered about the SNP’s finances.
What exactly happened to the £600,000 or so the SNP had raised to fight a second referendum that never happened? After the May 2021 Holyrood elections the SNP’s coffers were bare. So did it all go on that?
It was in June 2021 that Murrell loaned the SNP £107,000 to help with cash flow. Half was never paid back. Only in SNP-land could you embezzle your party, then give it an interest-free loan.
Then there’s the £6m the SNP received from taxpayers. Murrell signed off on that. Was any of it used to boost Amazon’s profits?
The embezzling lasted for over a decade. Was it allowed to fester in plain sight because anybody who raised the slightest criticism of the party’s finances was bullied and threatened into silence?
One senior apparatchik resigned because he was refused sight of the party’s accounts. Well, why should he? He was only the party treasurer.
Current First Minister John Swinney asks: ‘what more do we need to look into?’ Rather a lot is the obvious answer.
This morning Peter Murrell, who pleaded guilty to embezzlement, appeared in handcuffs at the High Court in Edinburgh.
It was a short session in which the prosecution gave the details of his £400,000 spending spree with embezzled SNP money using a party charge card linked to its bank account.
Most of this is already public. Murrell said nothing. He will have his chance when he’s sentenced on June 23rd before which he can make a plea of mitigation.
I wonder what he’ll say! Sturgeon has thrown him under the bus. Will he return the favour?
How many more young British men and women are going to die? Bleeding in the street, alone and terrified. Cuffed, in a pool of their own blood. Begging for help.
How many more parents are going to stand there, and say that they couldn’t help their children in their dying moments? Apologising to their dead children because they couldn’t stop it from happening?
How many more?
This is going to happen again, and again, and again.
It’s happening right now, in every city across the country.
Rape. Sexual torture. Even worse. Mass industrial abuse of British children.
Henry Nowak is one of thousands and thousands and thousands.
Innocent young men and women put through the most unimaginable pain, because our country has failed to do what needs to be done.
Because children have been sacrificed to death in order to appease foreign cultures that have no place in our country.
I have had enough - of all of it.
I am going to look back in anger.
I urge you all to do the same.
