I have been married for 40 years now - four children, two grandchildren. The best decision was ever made was building our family. It is an appalling shame that so many British men and women feel unable to do the same for reasons outside of their control. My generation has spectacularly failed them all. We need to own up to that, and we need to fix it.
There is finally a pro-family political party that will reverse so much of the damage done - Restore Britain.
How?
Tax breaks for parents. Let working men and women keep more of what they earn to spend how they choose. This is THE most important policy above all else. Merge tax allowances for married couples. Trust families to spend their money, not the Government.
A Restore Britain Government will front-load child benefit. Pay more in the earlier years when the help is needed. Wouldn’t cost a penny, but would mean that parents get help when they really need it buying prams, cots, nappies etc.
This would be exclusively for British children with one or two British parents.
Widen VAT exemptions for child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs.
Reducing tax obviously helps, but we need more - Restore Britain would make childcare fully tax deductible. All hours.
Regulation should be eased so that ratios aren’t so strict, with more children per adult allowed. Encourage youngsters into childcare with proper bursaries, apprenticeships and so on. Tax incentives for more nurseries/pre-schools.
Foreign children with foreign parents would not be eligible for free childcare paid for by the taxpayer.
If a healthy Brit is on benefits and refuses to work? They will not receive free childcare. You’ve got the time, look after your child. Working parents should be given the help. Not the healthy indolent.
The two-child cap would be reinstated.
If you want more children but can’t be bothered to work? That’s your problem, not the taxpayer.
Restore Britain will abolish stamp duty for British families (full policy coming soon). Priority on social housing lists. No foreign national families in social housing would free up an enormous amount of space for British men and women to build their family.
Restore Britain would overhaul spousal visas - British citizens should be able to raise their families in Britain with a foreign spouse, without being treated like criminals by the Home Office. This would be alongside the ‘red list’ to crush fraud. That is positive immigration, and should be welcomed. Restore Britain will welcome it.
IVF and fertility treatment. There should be proper investment in helping those who struggle to have children naturally. Not brutally rationed as it currently is. More rounds, more chances. This would not be offered to the entire third world as it is now - it would all be funded by simply not doing that.
A Restore Britain Government would allow parents to take their children out of school for a limited number of term-time days per year, as the parents see fit. If the child is developing well, that is a decision for the parents. A small change that will save families thousands...
Restore Britain stands with the young British men and women who want to build a family.
Most importantly, our wider plan of restoration will give them the confidence they need to have children, to bring them into the world. On tax, deportations, crime. Everything. It all needs to change to restore belief. That is our objective.
Our plan will make a family possible for millions more British men and women - this is how we Restore Britain.
Forgive me if I’m wrong but I thought that the whole point of having a government was that they are supposed to take care of their country & the people that live in it.
Why then do we have a government that doesn’t do either?
What’s the point of having them if they are not prepared to do what we pay them to do?
I believe that the imminent publication of the rape gang enquiry will destroy the chances of Andy Burnham winning in Makerfield because he, amongst so many others in positions of power, has been complicit in the coverup of the horrendous gang rapes. 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
I am a member of the Public Accounts Committee in Parliament and we have just released our findings on Britain’s broken asylum system. It is beyond damning.
Some extracts from our report…
“…Government departments still do not have a grip on how they will manage asylum as an end-to-end system, or a clear sense of what they are trying to achieve.”
“Major policy risks and operational changes have been pursued without a realistic grip on delivery risks, costs or system-wide impacts.”
“…no single point of accountability for outcomes or a governance structure for the end-to-end system.”
“…absence of a clear strategy, decisions around planning and resource allocation have been reactive and disjointed.”
“The Home Office was unable to show… that it has the commercial capabilities needed to manage asylum accommodation effectively.”
“…weaknesses in its ability to prevent excess profits accruing for contractors…”
“…no evidence that lessons from past mistakes are being used to clearly inform current actions.”
“Poor data quality and weak management information continue to prevent effective management…”
“…current data sharing limitations make it impossible to directly track individual cases through the entire asylum process.”
“The Home Office does not yet have a credible long-term strategy for asylum accommodation…”
“… there is little evidence the Home Office fully understands the impact of its approach on local services.”
“The government is at considerable risk of repeating past failures.”
But don’t worry, the government says it has a plan...
It says it has “learned a lot of lessons”.
And that it’s going to put 10,000 civil servants into what they call an “Asylum Group”.
Funded by us, of course.
How about improving data-linking systems?
The Ministry of Justice says it simply needs more of our money.
And what about ending the use of hotels and transferring to larger, “purpose-driven” sites?
“The Home Office’s own analysis suggests that large sites will cost more than hotels, as seen in previously costly attempts such as Wethersfield.”
The numbers…
£4.9 billion spent on the system each year, including:
£2.7 billion on asylum accommodation
£700 million on cash support
£600 million on unaccompanied asylum-seeking children
Nearly £1 billion on casework, appeals, detention, and removal
All spent to produce between 50,000 or so refugees each year.
And of course, these costs don’t include what is then paid by us, the taxpayer, in Local Authority housing, welfare, childcare assistance, and advice and translation services once once they receive their refugee status and are no longer in the asylum system.
Want more?
At the time of the NAO report (December 2025), Home Office reported there were roughly 224,000 individuals still waiting in the system, excluding those awaiting an initial asylum decision.
Further, since April 2024, MoJ say the number of asylum seekers waiting for an appeal decision alone has trebled, from 27,000 to 70,000, with appeals taking nearly 60 weeks to be heard.
Who pays for them while they wait over a year for a decision?
Us.
And the tens of thousands of failed asylum seekers each year - what happens to them?
The Home Office isn’t sure.
It says it knows “where some of them are”, but the rest are “elsewhere in the country”, and that it is possible they “remain in the UK without detection”.
Don’t fear though, because the Home Office won’t guarantee that it will find them, only that it would “seek to find them”. Whatever the hell that means…
And to deal with the backlog of cases and appeals?
“Home Office relaxed its recruitment arrangements, resulting in newly recruited staff being ill-suited to making complex decisions on asylum cases, which in turn affected decision quality.”
The result?
“In a rolling twelve months to May 2025, 42% of sampled decisions had significant or fail errors.”
Astounding incompetence.
But there’s more good news...
The MoJ is recruiting even more over-paid salaried and fee-paid judges, as well as recruiting judges from other chambers to sit in asylum cases.
In other words, MoJ’s response is to spend more of our money and remove judges from other work.
This is because more asylum seekers “are now representing themselves and that this requires additional support from tribunal staff.”
“The system of monitoring failed asylum seekers needs a complete overhaul,” says the report.
I have a better idea. My own view?
Scrap the entire system altogether, and deport every single illegal migrant living in Britain.
And to those of you say that it’s impossible - to any MPs, public servants, or commentators who think I’m cherry-picking information, I implore you to read every word of the PAC report, every word of the NAO report, and to watch every minute of the 2.5 hour PAC meeting from earlier this year…
And then tell me that the system is working, and that’s it’s delivering value for money, and that it’s sustainable.
It isn’t. And it never will be.
It is an intentional, monumental catastrophe designed to cripple the nation economically, socially, and culturally.
A Restore Britain government will crush the entire asylum system as its first duty to the British people.
Deport them all.
🚨BREAKING: General Mike Flynn calls for Keir Starmer to IMMEDIATELY be removed from office 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
“There is COMPLETE INSANITY in the UK. The calls for Keir Starmer to be IMMEDIATELY removed for allowing this once GREAT nation to go into the toilet are not only righteous- but NECESSARY!”
Elon is right - Mike Flynn is right - Nigel Farage is right - Rupert Lowe is right - KEIR STARMER MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE 🚫
@GenFlynn
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.
🚨RUPERT LOWE HINTS RESTORE BRITAIN WILL STAND IN MAKERFIELD BY-ELECTION
