[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

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 when was it standard practice for UK riot police to beat unarmed passive middle-aged men viciously with the sharp edges of their riot shields, and then repeatedly kick them when they're on the ground? Is this some new crowd-control protocol? Just asking for a friend.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

🚨BREAKING: SPECIALIST DOCTOR SAYS HENRY NOWAK COULD HAVE LIVED IF NOT FOR POLICE

In summary:

- Henry was alive when they arrived and likely clotted
- Aggressive police intervention likely tore clot
- Major Trauma department was minutes away from scene
- Judge and Pathologist were FAR TOO LENIENT on Police
- Henry Nowak had 50% CHANCE to survive
- Absolutely convinced that if he arrived in hospital alive he would have survived

This is disgusting, the family deserve justice

Full breakdown below:

Dr Krzysztof Magier [@DrMagier] based in the Isle of Wight is a qualified Paediatric Care Lead and part of the 'Critical Care Network' with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds) has analysed the footage and claimed the AGGRESSIVE Police intervention may have contributed towards Henry's death.

Dr Magier DISAGREES with the pathologist's and judge's opinion that Henry Nowak had ZERO chance of SURVIVAL.

As well as the claim that handcuffing him essentially changed NOTHING.

In fact he claims the REVERSE IS TRUE, there is a high likelihood that the police intervention CONTRIBUTED TO HENRY'S DEATH.

He analysed the autopsy report, which points to DAMAGE to the subclavian vein as the main source of BLEEDING.

In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the NATURALLY FORMING CLOT, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding.

The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was CONCIOUS ENOUGH to speak LOUDLY.

He was therefore NOT YET in a terminal state.

After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely STRETCHED, the clot TORN, and BLEEDING DRAMATICALLY INTENSIFIED.

Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and DIED.

People with suspected internal injuries should NEVER be moved or yanked abruptly, such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage.

Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police ARRESTED HIM.

If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been MUCH HIGHER.

AS HIGH AS "50%"—writes Dr. Magier.

Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation.

Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes' drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment.

"I AM CONVINCED THAT IF HENRY HAD ARRIVED THERE ALIVE THE DOCTORS WOULD HAVE NOT LET HIM DIE"—writes Dr. Magier.

The aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. "I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police"

[Ben Pattinson @pattman121]

@AllisonPearson Then its simple, the chief constable's selfish calculation of what they would rather face needs to change.

Hopefully this case might do that in future.

Fact to remember when defending Hampshire Police:

They confiscated the mobile phones of Henry Nowak's parents to look for evidence of racism, before they arrested Vickrum Digwa's parents for attempting to cover up a murder.

Tax. We’ve all become so used to it, we forget how much we’re actually paying. It is relentless, even beyond death. And for what? If we had a semblance of functioning public services, I could maybe stomach it. But we don’t, so what are we actually paying all of this money for?

We are subject to Scandinavian levels of tax for third-world levels of competence - what a toilet deal.

Earn a salary. Income tax, a fifth gone before we’ve even started. National insurance, more on top of that. What for? A ‘world-class’ health service? The NHS? Ha. Good luck.

Even getting to work costs - taxes on buying a car, running a car, insuring a car. Vast amount of road tax. Is that being well spent? Unless you want potholes you can paddle in, the answer is no. A road network built for half the amount of cars. How’s that going? It takes twice as long to get anywhere. Fuel duty and tax on insurance - whack that on top too. Congestion charges, tolls, fines and more. It goes on and on and on.

Forget getting the train, that’ll cost twice as much and never runs on time - a season ticket into London costs thousands. Unaffordable. Yet the trains so often run empty? Maybe that system isn’t working…

VAT on anything that moves - getting taxed to buy products/services, from already taxed money.

Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. Then more tax.

Did you go to university? Your ‘loan’ isn’t loan, it’s a tax. Interest is so sharp, you’re just paying that off each month. Hundreds gone, to pay for a sociology degree a decade ago. Ouch. Why are we saddling our youngsters with so much debt, with so much interest on top of that? Madness.

Manage to put a few quid away to save? That gets taxed too - ISAs will be under attack in the budget. Profit made on successful investments, what happens? You guessed it. Tax.

Somehow you’ve scrabbled a deposit together for a property. Well done.

Paying half a million quid for a semi-detached? Not cheap. Stamp duty means you get slapped for thousands. Obviously first time buyer exemptions mean less and less as house prices soar.

You’re in the house. Great news. Or so you thought. Council tax. Going up seemingly by 5% every year. Thousands of pounds a year. For what? To collect the bins? Really? Don’t forget the extra costs to have your garden waste removed. Brilliant.

More insurance taxes, and of course VAT on any improvements you want to make. Bills soaring, with tax slapped onto every corner of it - green levies and the rest.

How depressing. Time for a pint.

Alcohol duty. Because of course. Why wouldn’t they throw extra tax on it? I’m not a smoker, but the same applies. Even holidays. Air passenger duty to put a few extra quid onto the price of a trip away. Just for good measure.

You’re limping on through. Maybe you decide that starting your own business is the way to go?

You get it up and running, starting to make a reasonable profit. Take a small salary - to pay for such luxuries as food and heating. As we know, that gets taxed.

Alongside the costs. National Insurance. Business rates. Fees and licences. It is endless.

What’s left after all that? A profit? Surely good news?

Bang. Corporation tax. A big slice gone. After that, we can enjoy a handsome profit. Right?

Nope. Dividend tax. With its brutal thresholds. What slivers you do take get taxed all over again when you want to actually buy something. Obviously.

And the final kick in teeth.

Inheritance tax.

After everything, somehow, you’ve managed to put a reasonable amount of money away. After all that tax, you’ve succeeded in building a financial legacy to pass to your children - your business, and your own savings.

Money you were taxed on the day you earned it, taxed when you saved it, taxed when you invested it, taxed to build your business. It gets taxed one final time. On both your personal savings, and also the value of your company.

Even after death, it continues.

What are we paying all this money for?

Are our schools world-class? Borders secure? Police visible? NHS efficient? Economy thriving? Roads operational?

No. No. No. No. No. No. NOTHING WORKS.

Britain has the highest tax burden in most of our lifetimes, yet the worst services many of us have ever seen. If everything worked perfectly, there could maybe be an argument for such suffocating levels of tax. But it doesn’t, and hasn’t for decades, so there isn’t.

When the taxpayers fail to fund this state monster of inefficiency and unaccountability, what do they do?

QE. Print money. Creating inflation, devaluing our earnings and our savings. Yet one more tax.

The people creating all of this, implementing all of this? £100k plus on the public sector, living in London. Comfortable salary, great pension, no job risk. Clueless about the real world.

Maybe, just maybe, the current approach isn’t working.

We need to urgently cut tax. Shrink government. Reward hard work.

You just can’t tax a nation into prosperity. It never has worked, and it never will work.

LEAVE OUR MONEY ALONE.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

As you know, farming is very close to my heart. I have had lots of questions on what Restore Britain would do for rural Britain. The following points will form the basis of our Restore Britain agriculture policy.

Above all else, we are clear that food security is national security. Without it, the country starves to death. It really is that simple.

So what would Restore Britain deliver for British farmers?

Fix delayed and unpredictable subsidy payments.

Payments must be on time and reliable. Cashflow matters for farmers. I am one. I understand better than most. Uncertainty is a real killer. Anyone in farming knows how volatile the system is. Mutating rules are impossible to follow. Not to mention the ludicrous staff turnover at DEFRA. Farming is a long term, capital intensive business. It needs one thing above all else. STABILITY. Farmers need a five to ten year plan, absolute minimum. I pushed DEFRA on this - I received a totally clueless response. They just don’t care.

Slash and simplify red tape - and let farmers FARM.

Enough inspections for the sake of inspections. Enough paperwork that adds cost but no value. Stop the endless form filling. Hours and hours farmers spend filling out these pointless sodding forms. Restore Britain will get farmers FARMING.

Reform DEFRA and Natural England from top to bottom.

These bodies have become obstacles rather than enablers. They need root-and-branch change. Mass sackings. Bring in people with genuine agricultural experience. The current inhabitants are city-dwelling liberals who understand nothing about rural Britain. Not good, not working, not acceptable. Start again.

Review the power of the supermarket distribution oligopoly.

A handful of buyers hold excessive power over our farmers. Producers should not be forced to sell at such low costs while a tiny number of supermarkets protect their margins - urgent review needed. Restore Britain will deliver fair competition.

Ensure fairness.

British farmers are required to meet ultra high standards, so imports must meet the same. They do, or they don’t come in. British farmers must not be undercut by overseas producers benefiting from cheaper transport, lower standards, and often hidden state support. With Restore Britain, fair competition means equal rules.

End the punishment of farmers under lunatic Net Zero policies.

Farmers should not be penalised for heating buildings, running machinery, or producing food. When China burns through a mountain of coal every few seconds, we must realise that British farmers are not the enemy.

Scrap EU-era rules we no longer have to follow.

Keep what works. Bin what doesn’t. Brexit should mean regulatory freedom. We left. Despite the total mess it has been, we must at least get some of the benefits for British farming.

Relax and radically simplify planning.

Restore Britain will allow and encourage diversification - farm shops, processing, storage, tourism, and sensible on-farm development. Give tax breaks for diversification and stop blocking rural enterprise. Overhaul planning. Hand the power to responsible farmers, and away from the council planning toads. It's their land, they should be able to do what they like (within reason.)

Protect family farms through fair taxation.

Restore Britain would scrap the farming tax in its entirety. Scrap ALL inheritance tax. And not just for farmers, but for everyone. We must help older farmers pass farms on to the next generation without being punished for doing so.

Invest in people.

Restore Britain would expand farming apprenticeships. Help vocationally minded young people into agriculture. We would give the next generation of farmers a future that they are willing to dedicate their life too. It is a risk. If they take it and succeed, they should be rewarded.

Back British labour.

Make it easier for British workers to take up farm work. Use benefit claimants who constantly refuse work to pick vegetables or whatever. We DO NOT need cheap unskilled foreign labour. We’ve got it right here. Clamp down on seasonal visas - it’s being abused to import low-skilled labour from incompatible cultures that go on to overstay their visa, commit crime and generally become a nuisance to our society.

Support domestic fertiliser and input production.

Restore Britain would immediately act to reduce reliance on volatile global supply chains for essential inputs. Food security depends on input security. This is so important. Without this, there is no farming. You don’t just plant a seed in the ground and there’s a vegetable months later, despite what many MPs believe.

Scrap the proposed firearms licence changes.

They are unnecessary, bureaucratic, and would criminalise responsible farmers while doing absolutely nothing for public safety. We would leave responsible gun owners alone.

Public sector buying British.

This is a huge, untapped market. We’ve got schools and hospitals shipping in poor quality produce from overseas, rather than purchasing from local farmers. That’s wrong. Even if it’s slightly more expensive, the knock-on effects for the economy will be vast. The public sector is a vast buying power - use it to back OUR farmers. A Restore Britain Government would BUY BRITISH.

Enforce CLEAR labelling.

People must know exactly what they are buying - where it was produced, to what animal welfare and food safety standards, and under which regulatory regime. No misleading packaging. Make it abundantly clear what is British and what is not. We all want to support our farmers, let’s make it as easy as possible.

Non-stun slaughter, banned.

I have been consistent on this. It is cruel, barbaric and un-British. Animal welfare comes ahead of religious exemptions. Both halal and kosher slaughter would be banned, happily.

This is the basis of Restore Britain's policy for rural Britain. There will be much more to come.

I believe it is all logical, and would deliver the food security that Britain so desperately needs in an uncertain world.

Farmers - it’s been a long time, I know. But you finally have a political party that will fight for you.

Not just to reverse recent changes, but to fundamentally overhaul the ENTIRE system.

Restore Britain is on your side. I hope you consider backing us.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Restore Britain is under brutal assault by the establishment.

Listen to me when I say this - they want us gone.

Everything will be thrown at us - false allegations, dishonest polling, media hysteria, vile personal attacks. They’ve already tried to put me in prison. It will all keep coming and coming. It is going to get a lot worse, the more support we gain.

The establishment is getting very nasty with us.

Good. It shows we are making progress.

Ask yourself why? Why do they want to destroy us? Why do they react with such fury whenever ordinary British people begin organising outside their control?

Because Restore Britain is not going to merely reform the establishment - we are going to destroy it. The system will be dismantled, the state will be torn apart and rebuilt as one that serves the people it always should have done - the British people.

The permanent Westminster machine that has grown rich and comfortable while Britain became poorer, weaker, more divided and less safe is biting back. Is that any surprise?

All-powerful bureaucrats who have lived the most comfortable life for decades in shadowy Westminster corridors will have it all taken from them.

Many will even go to prison.

That’s what will happen if Restore Britain takes power.
They do not want that. They will do everything to stop that from happening. We are already seeing it.

Reform, the Tories, Labour. With them, it all continues - their club is safe.

Different slogans. Same people. Same outcome. Same decline. Is it any wonder they hate Restore Britain so much?

The establishment understands it can accept a turquoise blue. Control it, use it.

They know they can’t with Restore Britain, and that is why they want us removed.

Because we are not here to ‘reform’. It is too late for that. The country is too far gone.

The old political consensus is dead. The system has failed too many people, in too many places, for too long.

We are here to restore Britain itself its borders, its safety, its confidence, its freedoms, its competence, its sense of who we are.

And no amount of smears or intimidation will stop us doing that.

Makerfield will show Britain the way.

If you want change. And I mean real change, radical change, unprecedented change.

Join us. Join the party. Join Restore Britain.

Get your country back.

Starmer is a managerial midwit.
A brittle man of winter.
A dead-eyed shark pushing ever forward towards his next grim, mechanical task.
You could coax Shakespeare himself down from the heavens to tell him of all England’s beauty and he would only be annoyed that you had kept him from his busywork.
He is a ruddy-faced nothing, an interloper.
To call him a traitor flatters him, as the traitor surely has some sense of his own wrongdoing. Starmer lacks the imagination to arrive even at the foothills of his own wretchedness.
His emptiness could fill entire stadia.
He is the final form of managerial man, signing Britain’s death warrant before lunch and never thinking about it twice.
To detest him is normal, yet pointless.
Hatred slides off him like water off some cheap synthetic fabric.
He is the blank-faced destroyer of joy, freedom and invention. He is death on prescription, equally distributed.
He is nameless dread, the void, the negation that cannot be negated.
He is the end of hope.

In case you think philosophers were a myth of history, we actually have one of the greatest ever in our midst:
