@JChimirie66677 @MatthewStadlen Thank you Jim, @MatthewStadlen you have made my blood boil. I was at the Ariana concert with my 12 year old daughter, we experienced it! I thought then things would change but no, it’s got worse. Fuck you @MatthewStadlen

Belfast Tonight. Britain Tomorrow. The Trajectory Is Set.

On Monday night a man was pinned to a residential street in north Belfast and stabbed repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened. One used a hurling stick. By Tuesday night three houses and a Middle Eastern supermarket were burning. Infants were carried from neighbouring properties. A police vehicle was set alight. Politicians called for calm.

Remember this night. Not because it is exceptional. Because it is not.
This is where the road leads. Not in twenty years. Now. Belfast has experienced serious immigration-related disorder for three consecutive years. The same cycle every time. Attack. Outrage. Disorder. Calls for calm. Nothing. The next incident. What is playing out in Belfast is not a malfunction. It is the destination. A state that cannot name the cause manages the consequence instead, and calls it governance.

Now project forward. Not with imagination. With arithmetic. Over 200,000 people have arrived by small boat since 2018. The majority are unvetted young men from countries with no cultural alignment with the host society. They are housed in communities without consent. Dispersed without warning. The removal rate is four percent. The government knows the other ninety-six percent are staying. It has decided to manage that fact rather than reverse it. Every year the number grows. Every year the concentration deepens. Every year the friction increases.

In ten years those concentrations will not be streets. They will be districts. In twenty years they will be cities within cities, governed by parallel authority, answering to parallel loyalties. We have watched this happen in France. The banlieues were built accommodation by accommodation, retreat by retreat, until the French state no longer entered them except in force. Britain is on the same road, travelling faster.

The trigger events will multiply. One policing incident. One foreign conflict landing on a British street. One court case, one arrest, one viral video. Any spark will do because the kindling has been laid by policy and left to dry by neglect. The riots will not be contained to one city for one night. They will spread, as they spread in France, as they spread across England last summer, because the grievance is not local. It is national. And the anger on both sides will harden with every cycle.

Public order will not hold at current trajectory. The police already negotiate where they once enforced. Investigations are quietly dropped. Reports go unfiled. The state keeps the peace by lowering the bar for what constitutes peace. That bar will keep falling because the alternative requires confronting what the political class has spent thirty years refusing to confront.

The political system will bend to the new demography. It already has. Candidates selected on foreign conflicts. Councils controlled by sectarian bloc voting. Representatives answering to communal leaderships rather than constituents. That process will accelerate as the demographic weight shifts.

And somewhere in this trajectory a trigger event will occur that cannot be managed. A mass casualty attack. A riot that becomes an insurrection. A video so barbaric it breaks the remaining political consensus around managed silence. After that the response will be less controlled, less proportionate and less reversible than anything a government could have delivered by acting fifteen years earlier when the choice still existed.

Britain is not sleepwalking into this. The eyes are wide open. The trajectory is known. The choices being made are deliberate. Every week that passes without a closed border, a functioning removal system and an honest political reckoning is a week in which the future described above becomes more certain and less avoidable.

Belfast on Monday night is not a warning. The warnings came years ago and were ignored. Belfast on Monday night is the bill beginning to arrive.

@MichelleDewbs My life changed drastically after being at the Ariana concert with my then 12 year old daughter. We got out, many didn’t. I truly believed that everything would be different after but, no, everything is worse. I definitely do look back with anger 😡

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

.@Keir_Starmer, your statement says you have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.

With respect, tolerance is not the issue. Nobody tolerates a near beheading on a residential street in Belfast. The question your statement carefully avoids is prevention. And prevention requires honesty about a pattern your government has consistently refused to name.

A man in his thirties, a Somali national, pinned a man to the ground on a residential street and stabbed him repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened with a hurling stick. A woman required hospital treatment for the stress of witnessing it. This happened in Northern Ireland, a place that has known more than its share of violence, and even there residents said they had never seen anything like it.

Your government has presided over record small boat crossings. It has failed to proscribe the IRGC despite repeated promises. It has blocked the grooming gang inquiry for a year before being forced to concede it. It has spent £10 billion on asylum accommodation contracts. It has actively resisted measures that would have reduced the number of unvetted individuals entering and remaining in this country.

The victims of these attacks are not statistics. They are British people, going about their lives on their own streets, who were failed before the attack happened. Failed at the border. Failed by a system that prioritises the rights of those who arrive illegally over the safety of those who were already here.

Your thoughts are with the victim. So are ours. The difference is that thoughts are not policy. Thoughts do not secure borders. Thoughts do not remove individuals with no right to be here. Thoughts do not protect the next victim, whose name we do not yet know, on a street we cannot yet identify, from an attack that has not yet happened.

How many more before the thoughts become action?

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

@bphillipsonMP, with respect, you are the last person in Britain who should be demanding anyone's sacking for saying what millions of people can see with their own eyes.

You are the Education Secretary who issued guidance allowing schools to socially transition children on a case by case basis, without parental consent, in direct contradiction of the Cass Review which your own government commissioned. The Cass Review did not treat social transition as a harmless first step. It warned against premature affirmation. You ignored it.

You are the Education Secretary on whose watch Kirklees Council issued guidance to schools warning that children's drawings could be considered blasphemous under Islamic law. That same guidance flagged dance lessons as a potential concern over physical contact between males and females. It was framed as sensitivity training. It was the institutionalisation of everything the Batley mob demanded.

You are the Education Secretary on whose watch a teacher remains in hiding, living under a new identity somewhere in the United Kingdom, five years after showing an image of the Prophet Mohammed in a religious studies lesson at Batley Grammar School. The Khan Review, published in 2024, found he was totally and utterly failed by the school, the police and the council. He has committed no crime. He has broken no law. You have not stood at a despatch box and demanded he be brought home safely. Not once.

You are the Education Secretary who has overseen the rollout of a definition of anti-Muslim hostility through every school, council, university and NHS trust in the country, a definition your own former anti-extremism adviser Lord Walney warned extremists would use to deflect scrutiny, and which the Equality and Human Rights Commission said risks a chilling effect on free speech.

Now to your actual point. Christians, Jews, Sikhs and Hindus have indeed gathered in Trafalgar Square. Nobody disputes that. But the Chanukah menorah does not declare there is no god but the god of the Jews. The Diwali celebration does not call out across the square that all other faiths are false. The Adhan does. It declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. In a shared civic space that declaration is not equivalent to a celebration. It is a theological assertion of exclusive truth. Nick Timothy identified that distinction precisely. You have not answered it. You have simply called for his sacking, which is what this government does when it cannot answer the argument.

You govern schools in which nativity plays are cancelled for fear of causing offence while children are taken on immersive trips to mosques, dressed in Islamic garments, and taught to write Quranic verses. You govern schools in which a teacher's career can be ended for showing a historical image in a history lesson while the mob that threatened his life faces no consequence. You govern schools in which the guidance flowing from your department tells teachers that hesitation is harm and caution is suspicion.

Nick Timothy said what millions of people think and cannot say without risk of exactly the treatment you are demanding for him. That is not going into the gutter. That is doing the job you have conspicuously failed to do.
The teacher in hiding is your record. Own it.

"You govern schools in which nativity plays are cancelled for fear of causing offence while children are taken on immersive trips to mosques, dressed in Islamic garments, and taught to write Quranic verses."

[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.
