Cutting VAT on energy bills might marginally shave down bills, but it doesn't fix the reason Britain's energy is so outrageously expensive in the first place.
We've become so used to headline-grabbing gimmicks from politicians instead of tackling the structural causes of high energy prices.
We need to address the underlying sickness.
Our entire energy system has been bastardised in the name of net zero - slowly, but relentlessly. It needs an equally ambitious programme to reengineer it back so that the primary aim is to provide cheap and abundant energy for our people.
Restore Britain has provided that in our energy policy paper.
British families don't need a few quid off here and there - they need permanently lower bills.
When the cost of energy falls, everything else will follow.
Inflation - this is part of how we keep it under control.
Cheap, reliable and abundant energy.
Restore Britain's plan is to deliver exactly that. Repeal the policies driving up energy costs, end unnecessary green levies and subsidies, unlock Britain's own oil and gas reserves, accelerate nuclear power, utilise renewables where appropriate/cost-effective, and build an energy system based on cheap, reliable and abundant domestic supply.
We are the only party with a genuine plan that is properly thought out, detailed step by step in our energy policy document.
That is how we permanently reduce energy bills for British families.
We need to start thinking in decades, not election cycles.
That approach won't win many votes, but it's the only true route to restoration.
I have been forensically digging through these asylum contracts, and one stands out to me. It is absolutely staggering. Please read on.
£1,593,535,200 for 'Provision of Bridging Accommodation and Travel Services’ awarded to ‘Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited’.
According to the official record, they’re based in Bradford…
Let’s dive into it.
It’s related to the Bibby Stockholm, housing illegal migrants on a barge off the coast of Dorset. Bradford is certainly a strange place to base such an enormous contract.
What is all of that money, OUR money, being spent on?
All this information is taken from official documents, labelled ‘sensitive’.
The illegals must be provided with a ‘varied daily menu’, taking into account all religious needs. If the illegal arrives late and missed the evening meal? They must be provided with a ‘light snack’.
What about cleaning? A ‘cleaning programme’ must be delivered to the standards set by the ‘British Institute of Cleaning Science’.
Routine cleaning must be provided, and their cabins are cleaned on a ‘twice weekly basis’.
A ‘house-keeping laundry service’ is included, with a maximum '48-hour turn around’'
Information on the local area is provided - including amenities and facilities. Illegals are assisted to make contact with a local GP surgery and dentist - they are assisted to do this.
The illegals are to be taken and returned from medical appointments.
A ‘programme of organised recreational activities' are provided, seven days a week. Activities available ‘morning, after, and evening each day’.
Full Wi-Fi coverage is required, with a bank of mobile phones available '24/7'.
Transport requests will be taken at short notice, all day every day. The transport must be ‘punctual’.
‘Adequate transport links’ must be provided to assist the illegals into the local area - and booking of transport services must be delivered for those ‘who wish to travel beyond the local area’.
Warnings against ‘unconscious bias’ are made, and it’s adamant that ‘the interests of the Service Users are best served.’
It goes on and on and on. Are you happy that your tax is being spent on these services for illegals? For transport? Recreational activities? Shipping them into local communities to roam the streets?
One of these illegal migrants was sentenced for sexually assaulting a teenage girl on a beach. There will be many, many, many others.
'Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited', based in Bradford, received this astronomical contract. A strange company name for such a service. What was the procurement process? How was this decided? I have put these questions to the Home Office, and I am demanding answers.
The Bradford firm was told on the 24th of February 2023 that they had been awarded this £1.5 billion contract, excluding VAT (with an extension option.)
Who was the Home Secretary at this time?
Reform’s Suella Braverman.
Who was the immigration minister at this time?
Reform’s Robert Jenrick.
They were the ministers, they were responsible.
I want to know exactly why these outrageous contracts were signed off.
It is scandalous. SO much more information on these contracts is redacted. I am going to find it...
We should not be caring for these illegals, we should not be housing them, we should not be accommodating them. We should be deporting them. On an industrial scale.
They are treated better than British citizens. FAR better.
It makes me sick.
The amount of OUR money that has been spent on these third world criminals by politicians (Reform, Conservative and Labour) is the biggest scandal of our time.
@RupertLowe10 You are the best @reformparty_uk has. Their actions towards you speak volumes. @Nigel_Farage is threatened by your popularity that’s the bottom line of all this.
@Nigel_Farage The way you have treated @RupertLowe10 is vile. I was all for reform but now forget it. You turned on your own. That speaks volumes, and let’s be honest here it’s because he’s the best MP you have the most popular with the people. Silly move.
@LeeAndersonMP_ Disgusting behaviour. I was all for @reformparty_uk until now. The way you have treated @RupertLowe10 speaks volumes about you as a party. He is hands down your best MP and the one people hear. You’ve let your surge in popularity go to your heads.
I am entirely uninterested in the human rights of foreign paedophiles - I just don't care.
If the law prevents their deportation, CHANGE THE SODDING LAW.
Do what needs to be done to get this vermin out of our country, and NEVER allow it back.
