What do we really need? A budget for roofers, midwives, electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, mechanics, farmers, fishermen, hairdressers, market traders, lorry drivers, postmen, factory workers, nurses, engineers, soldiers, carers, teachers, bin men, shopkeepers, entrepreneurs, pub landlords, the self-employed and more.
For the people who keep our economy running, who keep our country going.
Not the indolent, not the scroungers, not the foreigners.
But the workers. The ones getting up at 5.30am, struggling to get the kids ready for school on time. Constantly thinking, worrying, stressing. Putting in the hours to provide for their family.
Sometimes moaning, but always doing. Always working. Always trying. The real working class.
That's who I'm backing, and that's who Restore Britain is backing.
A Budget that amounts to pissing into a westerly gale - tinkering around the edges while the British economy burns, with a treasury packed full of economic arsonists.
It is an insult to every taxpayer, every struggling business and every family being bled dry by this rotten economic system. Nothing will change - we continue our uninterrupted plunge into the abyss.
The country is drowning in debt. I don’t know how else to say this…
We are BANKRUPT. We cannot afford any of this. Nothing.
A crushing tax burden remains, small businesses are strangled and as employers we’re punished for creating jobs. For what? To fund millions of scroungers who can’t be arsed to work like the rest of us? Foreigners who turn up and expect housing, benefits, healthcare? When our tax goes up, THAT is what we are funding.
Debt is now THREE TRILLION. We can thank lockdown for a large part of that. But please think about it. Three trillion. The scale is just unimaginable. Yet we get another Chancellor fiddling with the numbers while the country goes up in flames. Billions and billions and billions get added every month. It is GROWING. I don’t know how else to say this.
The people governing us seem absolutely incapable of understanding one basic principle.
Wealth is created by businesses and workers. NOT by politicians spending somebody else's money to win votes. NOT by the state. NOT by the public sector. I detest it.
The British people, working mums and dads, are expected to work longer and harder to fund this corrupt charade - all while giant multinationals shift vast profits out of our country on the back of their work and bloated corporates extract outrageous contract profits from the taxpayer thanks to criminal public sector mismanagement.
I challenge Healey or Burnham. Go and start a business. A cafe, a contractor, a small shop. Try being a sole contractor on the tools. Experience these taxes, the regulation, the stress. Have their families rely on sporadic invoices. Watch their earnings get siphoned off by a corrupt state. Let’s see how they get on.
The system does not need reforming, or conserving - it needs smashing up. We need to rip apart, limb from limb, the failed assumptions that have governed British economic policy for decades.
Cut the waste. Shrink the state. Slash the tax burden. Back small British businesses. Reward work. Restore the incentive to invest, build, employ and succeed. Get millions of healthy Brits OFF benefits. Give people a reason to work. BE UNPOPULAR. If healthy scroungers hate me for taking their benefits off them, good. Get used to it.
It’s all that, on a scale never seen before, or the country will collapse further into a third world hellhole - only this time we’ll get the hyperinflation and total economic catastrophe in addition to the migrants.
I refuse to leave a broken, bankrupt nation to my children and grandchildren.
Restore Britain is offering a route out.
It will be painful, more than anyone realises.
But it is the only way.
In short - I don't want British taxpayers funding indolent foreigners and lazy scroungers who simply can't be arsed to contribute like the rest of us.
Protect those in genuine need, but we must crush parasitic Britain.
Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice has just stated - 'the simple fact is the British people want net zero immigration.'
I fundamentally disagree - millions more must leave than enter. That is what our people want.
The hour is far too late for net zero.
Millions must go.
High Wycombe’s mayor, Imran Hussain, has accused me of being 'irresponsible and wrong' for highlighting the changing demographics of a Wycombe school.
Wycombe High School has gone from 60% White British in 2016 to just 30% now. Ten years.
I asked if we were able to have a mature debate about how immigration has already entirely demographically transformed our country.
Clearly, the answer is no.
I'm told the town 'stronger because of its diversity, not in spite of it'.
Right. Okay.
I disagree.
Mass immigration has made our towns more dangerous, more divided, more deprived.
For decades, politicians like Hussain have been able to shut down the debate with these bullshit diversity buzzwords - accusing anyone with legitimate concerns of racism or bigotry.
It will not work anymore.
In town after town after town English cabbies have been entirely replaced by Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi men who are incapable of speaking English.
Yet another example of how our society has been entirely transformed by immigration.
I am sick of it.
