Good morning everyone. Hope you slept well. Make yourself a coffee. Do not notice the beheadings. Have a safe journey to work. All is well with our totally normal world.

Sole traders. Micro businesses with one or two employees. Freelancers. Plumbers. Electricians. Hairdressers. Mechanics. Accountants. Gardeners. Whatever it is, whoever they are. These are the workers that keep the economy going. Not the big global corporates.

Politicians, and those devising the rules, simply do not understand how these people live. Nobody ever even talks about the one or two people operations in Westminster.

Saturday morning in the bureaucrat’s world? Friday working from home, so nice easy day to finish off the week. Laptop closed by 15.00. Phone off for the weekend, not a care in the world. Life is sweet. Holiday coming up, mortgage comfortable, pension growing nicely.

The sole trader? Getting invoices and paperwork sorted at 6am before the children wake up. Chasing up late payments. Weighing up whether to do that last minute emergency call out, or spend time with the kids on a Saturday. Getting the diary sorted for next week. Phone goes and goes all weekend. It is never-ending. It does not stop.

It’s two different worlds honestly. The issue is that the latter entirely funds the former, and the former is hellbent on making life as difficult as possible for productive Britain.

I want to be really clear about what Restore Britain would do. Two things.

Crush parasitic Britain.

Unleash productive Britain.

First. Scrap IR35. It has created years of confusion, fear and chaos for contractors and small operators. It has pushed countless self-employed people into pointless paperwork and rigid inflexibility. Doesn’t work. It’s a right pain in the arse for millions. Scrap it.

Second, we will double the VAT threshold.

The current threshold traps thousands of small businesses just as they begin to grow. Many deliberately stop expanding to avoid the enormous administrative burden of VAT and the brutal cost hikes which drive demand away. The evidence of is obvious. Thousands hover just below the threshold, refusing to grow, hire or pay more tax. It is ABSURD.

Restore Britain would double the VAT threshold so small businesses can grow without being punished for success. This is absolutely necessary.

An important one - we would dramatically simplify the tax system for sole traders and micro-businesses (and everyone else, but that's separate).

Instead of forcing small operators through pages of complicated accounting rules designed for large corporations, we will introduce a far simplified tax regime for businesses below a certain size. Less paperwork, fewer forms, clearer rules. More money for them, less for the accountants and parasitic professional class. Sounds like a good deal, doesn’t it?

Next. We will end the endless culture of inspections and bureaucratic interference from the bureaucrats. Too many small businesses now live in fear of accidental breaches - whether it’s health and safety nonsense, employment law complexity, ridiculous data laws or constantly changing compliance requirements. The stress is immense. If you are a sole trader or micro-business acting in good faith, the system should support you, not threaten you.

Restore Britain will free them from endless regulatory suffocation. The mental health release on that is worth it alone.

Means a lot to me, this one. Restore Britain will make it easier for tradespeople to hire apprentices. This is important.

One of the biggest problems small businesses face is bringing in the next generation. The current system is too complicated, too expensive and too rigid for small firms.

Restore Britain will introduce simple, flexible apprenticeship schemes designed specifically for small businesses and trades.

Up next, we will simplify planning and licensing rules. For small builders, tradespeople and contractors - planning restrictions and local bureaucracy can delay work for months and add unnecessary costs. I detest planning departments more than I can describe in language appropriate for a Saturday morning.

These jumped-up empire-building little runts running councils across Britain will have their power stripped away from them. We will let people do business, we will let business owners run their businesses without the sneering council worker’s constant box ticking. Not complicated.

We will restore respect for the self-employed. Look at how they were treated during lockdown. Like dirt. Entirely abandoned whilst others were paid to do nothing. That must be addressed, and they must be compensated. The excluded must finally be recognised. That wrong must be rectified.

Under a Restore Britain Government, their efforts will be appreciated, celebrated and most importantly?

Rewarded.

This is the key point. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

The five golden rules of business.

What’s in it for me?

We will radically slash tax and raise thresholds. Tax on dividends would be hacked down so that success pays. More work, pays. Effort, pays. If the electrician does that last minute job on a Saturday, it will be worth their time. They will be rewarded, not HMRC.

Restore Britain will slash the bureaucracy, simplify the rules, cut the taxes. We will give small businesses the freedom they need to thrive, to support their families and to succeed.

Parasitic Britain will end.

Sole traders and micro businesses finally have a political party that will fight for them.

Restore Britain.

Lying prat…

I work in London 3 times a week, I live right on the border, my family still live there. Crime is out of control, people aren’t bothering reporting a lot of it now, because they know they’ll simply just get a crime reference number.

Women don’t feel safe in London, rape is off the charts.
Phone theft worst in Europe.

Nothing symbolises our Govt’s incompetence than this post by the Prime Minister 2 days ago about a vile, racist, anti-Semite who wanted to kill Jews, police & white people and called the British ‘dogs and monkeys.’ All he had to do was check El-Fattah’s social media history. 🙄

[DonMadrid @imsomadridista]

In my lifetime i have never seen a high level defender being this demolished 1v1. Literally 1 one 1 football. What Gareth Bale did to Maicon this day it’s still wild til this day. Maicon was never the same after this, he was a very good right back as well.

[Tony @EvacTony]

I work often work in neighbourhoods where most who live there don’t work. While I'm up and at it at 7.30, you won't see them before 11, unless they're on the school run, in their PJs, then in their 25 plate car on pip, then straight back to bed.

Old slippers and pizza boxes are strewn about in the streets, weed hangs in the air,  little kids play in gardens full of rubbish and broken trampolines. They've all got dogs, they've all got phones and everything else. I'm 50 almost, and working since before I left school is taking its toll.

On Wednesday Labour are going to fuck me, you and every other worker over again to pay for this shit show, raising other people's kids and feeding and housing an invading army of people that hate us and abuse our women.

We're fools to put up with this, history will view us as idiots if we do.

OH MY WORD MICKY VAN DE VEN 🤯

Incredible goal by the Spurs centre half, as he runs the full length of the pitch before a fantastic finish past Kotarsi - INCREDIBLE GOAL!

We are deeply saddened that Sven-Göran Eriksson, who managed the #ThreeLions from 2001 to 2006, has passed away aged 76.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Rest in peace, Sven. You will be greatly missed ❤️

[Daniel O’Reilly @dapperlaughs]

Amount of people saying “Stay & fight”, like this is some war movie. You cant fight. You cant even protest without being called racist.

& Fight who? How? The whole country is fucked, the water companies robbed us & dumped shit in the water, you can’t swim anywhere you’ll get ill & die. The country is literally a shit hole.

The councils are bankrupt & cant even fix a pot hole & charge you council tax for the privilege of doing fuck all while robbing you.

Moneys taxed, cars taxed, petrols taxed, booze, food EVERYTHING is taxed, then if you manage to save enough money after its been taxed to buy a house you get taxed on that, then if you die and pass it to your kids that gets taxed. They literally want everything from the working man while they hide their money. Its a con, we are being conned.

& We are about to get taxed even more.

NHS is fucked. Cost of living fucked. Interest rates are fucked, & we got years of it getting worse before it gets better.

Londons a hell hole & unsafe after dark. I hate it.

The men think they are women, kids are encouraged to think about their sexuality & gender.

Our soldiers are getting stabbed.

Our police are pussies & the ones that aint get fired.

& that aint even getting started on illegal immigration, thats getting worse.

If my country ever needed me to actually fight id be there, 100%, but i ain’t gambling the lifes of my three daughters in the mean time, & even if they did survive growing up here for what? To live in a shit hole full of fucking wierdo’s. No thanks.

Where would i go? Somewhere with a backbone, a bit of sun & with less risk of your kids getting murderd, like Australia, Russia or fucking North Korea.

I whole heartedly encourage anyone with young kids that have the ability to leave to do so. Todays events in Southport have rocked me to the core, im sat here looking at my daughters feeling sad.

You can still work on trying to get your voice heard while your kids are safe.

I want my kids to live not survive.
