How would a Restore Britain Government support small businesses? First step, and possibly the most important. We understand the problems and trust me, I know how difficult it is. I’ve been there, I’ve done it. The effort that goes into keeping a small firm profitable and operational is vast, and NOBODY in Government understands that.
THE most important way to help small businesses is tax.
GET IT DOWN. Corporation tax - we should be aiming for the lowest in Europe. Undercut our neighbours, take their business. Be ruthless. Make Britain the most attractive place to operate on the continent. Watch how the money then flows in.
Rates will slashed on income and dividend, thresholds pushed up. We must urgently reward success. NI not raised, but cut. If we want businesses to hire, MAKE IT CHEAPER.
Because what happens when employment gets more expensive?
Costs get passed on. Contracts stall. Hiring cancelled. Investment is paused. It grinds the economy to a halt. Businesses stop spending money. They wait and see.
Everyone suffers.
IR35 will go in the bin on day one. Things change, contracts change, circumstances change. IR35 accounts for none of that, adding layers of unnecessary paperwork and regulation. Flexibility matters.
VAT threshold would be doubled. There are so many businesses hovering just under £90k, desperately avoiding VAT. Fair enough, I don’t blame them. So let’s hike the threshold and unleash that demand. We would like to see a tax holiday for small businesses in the first few years - give them the breathing space they need to grow and find their feet.
HMRC will pick up the phone, and you will be able to speak to an advisor who can actually speak fluent English. What a mad shock that would be...
We will end the HR-ification of Britain that is used to blackmail employers. Regulatory frameworks that are used to suffocate small businesses will be burnt away.
Farage attacks private sector employees working from home. I couldn’t give a shit where people choose to work. If the employer and employee are happy, then it’s none of our business.
Failing public sector officials? Different story.
Business rates for small businesses, abolished. We will brutally crack down on illicit trading - does Britain need so many Turkish barbers and vape shops? The answer, quite obviously, is no. Let’s be honest about what’s really often going on here. Money laundering.
There would be free car parking in high streets all over Britain. These little gnomes in councils have no idea. If parking is free at the retail parks, people will just go there. Let’s encourage them back into our high streets - that means tackling crime too, obviously, but one step a time here...
Licensing laws, planning bureaucracy, council red tape.
We will obliterate it all.
Let’s back British hospitality. Cut VAT, business rates abolished and burn back the endless nonsense they have to deal with. Ease laws on closing times and fast-track permits for outdoor seating. If people want to enjoy a late night drink or two, it's none of our business to tell them otherwise.
Restore Britain will put those jumped-up little council bastards back in their box. I promise you that.
Inheritance tax will be abolished. If a family wants to pass their business down the generations, then Government must not stand in the way. Tax has been paid, there should not be another bill following a death. It’s wicked and cruel.
Above all else - businesses need stable, long term thinking. The Budget should be a complete non-event, other than further tax cuts.
This can all be funded by brutalising down the fraudulent state that has become the enemy of the people.
And let me tell you this. ANYBODY who gets business will understand that these measures will pay for themselves many times over. If we reward hard work, then we’ll get more of it. More tax will be paid, and the economy will boom.
These are just my initial thoughts on what a Restore Britain Government would do.
We would create an environment in which it's easy to do business, and then we would leave you the hell alone.
The message is this to small business owners...
Restore Britain is on your side.
You finally have a political party that will fight for your interests.
This explains a bit about why some like me have had enough of this government particularly. It’s not about not wanting to pay more tax, it’s about the now relentless attack on those that put everything on the line to start a business - creating jobs, growth and wealth on this island.
Having your own business is 24/7 - nobody is there to pick up the pieces if it all fails. When you’re awake, you’re at work - it follows you about in your brain. It’s brutal. And the truth is, most businesses fail. Some end it all as a result.
We should be encouraging people to start their own business, supporting them, not abusing them for the benefit of those that can’t be arsed, or are bitter about anyone trying. Ambition is leaving, along with current wealth and future wealth. That impacts everyone badly. Even eventually the lazy, ‘bash the rich’ lemmings. Labour have to go, even for the benefit of the idiots that vote for them. They just don’t realise it yet.

Those who will now defend "Gareth" and point to his record, ignore that it was actually England's misfortune to have had this inadequate dullard in charge of this squad of players at this time. We were always better than Southgate. No matter what his mates tell you.
Southgate is a fraud who should never had the job in the first place. He’s been carried by the quality of players he has and the fact he’s in a weak era competition wise. The second he’s back at club level he will be exposed again.
We reached the final in spite of Southgate.
Gareth Southgate was a C grade talent in charge of an A grade squad.
A better manager would have taken England further, no matter what stats you show.
A boring bloke. A boring team
When is someone going to call out Southgate?
“Most successful England manager”.
I say the biggest failure of England managers.
Pathetic tactics and in-game management once again.
