Don’t worry if your A level results are a bit disappointing. I got a C and two Us. And this evening I shall sit in my agreeable garden, drinking beer from my own brewery and eating food from my own farm. Prepared by my own chef.
MPs are getting a 5% pay rise - for the avoidance of any doubt, I won't see a penny of it. All is donated to local causes in my constituency.
I wish hundreds of MPs the best of luck in trying to explain to their constituents that they're worth the additional money. Have fun.
“I just love these fans, and I’m so grateful that they’ve been listening to what I’ve been saying. That’s the difference-maker, if they weren’t like they were today, do we win this game? - I don’t think so.��

The Government is outright refusing to tell me how many Gazan migrants have arrived in the UK, the cost, the scale, the asylum claims already made.
I believe the British people deserve to know the truth.
Further whistleblowers are very much encouraged to come forward…
What Reeves should announce today, but obviously won’t.
Everything costs more. Food, rent, mortgages, insurance, childcare, energy, basic goods, services, the weekly shop, a pint. Britain is getting poorer, faster.
People feel it, and they’re right. Inflation has eaten us alive. Wages wiped out. Savings eroded. Families poorer. Britain weaker.
We are getting ripped off. Why?
Because Britain is addicted to the size of its own state.
Here’s what Reeves should say.
Tax cuts. Lots of tax cuts.
- Raise the personal allowance dramatically - let people keep the first £20,000 they earn, minimum. No tax. It will cost, but the savings it will produce from encouraging people back into work will be vast,
- Slash Income Tax/National Insurance, especially on middle-earners who’ve been squeezed the hardest. This is uncomplicated, Rachel. REWARD HARD WORK.
- Remove the stealth taxes they all pretend don’t exist - fiscal drag and frozen thresholds which quietly rob the British people every year.
- Give overseas skilled British workers vast tax benefits to relocate their tax revenue and skills back to Britain. Bring them home.
- Cut back VAT, reduce fuel duty, cut alcohol duty, none of this sugar tax bullshit.
- Stamp duty, gone for British families. Let’s get the property market moving.
- Licence fee, scrapped. On the bonfire. Day one. More cash in the pocket for families.
Unleash British business
- Cut Corporation Tax to the lowest rate in Europe. Undercut them. Compete. Win.
- Push back dividend thresholds and taxes. If people are successful, ENCOURAGE IT.
- Abolish Business Rates for small firms. Bring our high streets back. Turkish barber/vape shop fraud crackdown too - let's root out the criminals.
- Slash Employers’ National Insurance - the single biggest reason small firms won’t hire more staff. OBVIOUSLY. We need to get that right down. Non-negotiable.
- Supercharge deregulation, especially for small businesses. A redtape bonfire visible from space. Let it burn.
- End the HR-ification of Britain. Bosses should be able to sack people, and they’ll end up actually hiring more because of that.
- Scrap IR35, immediately. Leave people to interface between themselves.
- Double the VAT threshold, possibly more. Overnight, vast growth will be unleashed from businesses hovering just under £90k. The figures show it already!
- Super-deductions for investment, including capital allowances and R&D incentives. Encourage people to invest and they will!
- Get police policing, and restoring some confidence for investment. Make Britain safer, and that will make Britain richer.
A brutal restructuring of the welfare state. And I mean brutal.
- No benefits for foreign nationals. If you arrive here, you contribute. If you’re here and you don’t? You leave. Billions saved, with one stroke.
- Mandatory work requirements for all those able to work. If you want support from taxpayers, you must give something back. A fair time to search for a job, but then you’re put to work. Picking litter or whatever else.
- Full disability fraud crackdown using data-matching and HMRC-style enforcement. Weed out the piss-takers.
- A cap on total household benefit claims - it should never pay more to stay home than to work. Never.
Drive for self-sufficiency.
- Domestic energy production on a huge scale, like we’ve never seen before. Drive that cost of energy down. Fracking. North Sea extraction. New nuclear. Gas storage. Cheap dependable energy = lower prices for everything. It’s that simple.
- Food security, with domestic output boosted and less reliance on foreign supply chains.
- Support British farming. Scrap the family farming tax. Use the public sector’s purchasing power to BUY BRITISH from our farmers. End dependency. Boost farming apprenticeships.
- A national infrastructure plan focused on logistics, ports, roads, and freight efficiency. The cheaper it is to produce and transport things, the lower prices fall. Places like Great Yarmouth with our fantastic port will boom. Stop building roads in Guyana, and use that money in Britain.
A robust plan to deal with the cancer of inflation.
- Immediate ban on money-printing (QE) without explicit Parliamentary approval. No more splurges by the Bank of England and that toad Bailey.
- Slash public spending - genuine far-reaching cuts. Nobody is safe. All departments.
- Foreign aid. Gone. Entirely. Billions saved overnight.
- Freeze all non-essential recruitment across the entire public sector (excluding front-line staff). A workforce pause, until inflation is under control. Then follows strict limits.
- A structured debt-repayment schedule, legally binding, to get those vast billion debt-interest payments falling. If you want some awful perspective - we now spend more on debt interest than on defence. No serious country on earth behaves like this. Britain does. It’s like some third world African tinpot dictatorship approach to economic affairs.
- We need to cut the debt, not just the deficit.
- Public sector pension liability - all off balance sheet. Needs a total overhaul as state employees are radically cut.
Stop importing poverty, crime and sex pests.
- Shut down all illegal migration with mass deportations, rapid removals, third-country processing, and no exceptions. Billions saved on abolishing asylum and related costs.
- Cut legal migration to net-negative, especially low-wage migration that undercuts British workers.
- Remove those who are a drain. If they’re claiming benefits, living in social housing, unable to speak English, refusing to contribute? Thanks, but your presence is no longer required. Bye.
- Deport foreign sex pests and criminals. Make our towns safe again. Watch how investment flows back into our dying high streets.
We must urgently cut back the bankrupt British state. Growth only comes from the following things.
A smaller state. Lower taxes. More people working. Fewer people scrounging. Cheaper energy. Stronger borders. Mass deportations. Actual production.
That is it. Reeves sadly does not have the balls to do what is necessary.
Britain needs an economic revolution.
I’ve been married for 39 years, and we have four children - building a family was the best decision we ever took. It is an utter shame that so many British men and women feel unable to take the same decision because of the appalling state of the country.
Unaffordable, unsafe, unwelcoming - many couples believe they just can’t afford another child, or to have one at all.
My generation is the one that has left this mess, and what a mess it is.
What can we actually to do solve it?
Most importantly, tax breaks for parents. Let people keep more of what they earn. Reward work over dependency.
We need a serious policy platform to encourage British families to have more children - not foreigners who come and sponge off our state. But pro-family policies that provide for British men and women. All of this should apply ONLY to British citizens.
I love the idea of front-loading child benefit - pay more of the money in the earlier years, when the help is really required. Give new parents a real financial boost when the child is young and need to buy prams, cots, nappies and the rest.
Tax. Reward families with proper relief. Raise thresholds, widen VAT exemptions for essential child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs. Hungary-style tax incentives? Lifelong tax reductions for mothers? Its works well in Hungary.
Childcare. Reducing tax obviously helps, but we need more. Make it fully tax deductible. All of it. If you work, you get proper financial support. Ease regulation so ratios aren’t so strict? More children per adult allowed. That would cut costs. Encourage youngsters into childcare with proper bursaries, apprenticeships and so on.
Stamp duty reduction for British families - make it easier for young families to move into a home to meet their needs. Priority on the social housing lists. Ban access to council houses for foreign nationals. That would free up enormous space for British families.
Why should people on benefits get free childcare? If a healthy person is sitting on benefits for years, refusing to work, then no. You don’t get free childcare. You’ve obviously got the time. Impose strict limits so that space is given to find a job, but after that? No. You can look after the child. Foreign nationals should also not be able to access this funding.
Reform 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 root out fraud. That is positive immigration, and should be welcomed.
IVF. Widen access for British citizens. An investment well worth making - speak to any family who has been through it successfully. Money well spent in the NHS. For once.
Give a small number of holiday days per year allowed in term time so that families can get away for a holiday. Teacher training days IN TERM TIME. These random Mondays off so teachers can go over notes? Let’s do that in the massive amount of school holidays, please - there are certainly enough to choose from. That is something that should be explored too. Why not split schools holidays, so they don’t all overlap?
This isn’t rocket science, is it? Simple, cost-effective strategies that would benefit families.
By restricting all of these policies to British citizens, it would easily pay for itself.
Britain’s birth rate isn’t collapsing by accident. It’s collapsing because we’ve built a country where starting a family is a financial punishment.
Fix childcare, cut taxes for parents, reward marriage, properly support mums and dads, and the tide will turn.
@jeremycorbyn Jeremy - I couldn't give a shit about defending the 'humanity' of third world conmen who have broken into our country.
I want a society where British families can live without the fear of getting stabbed by a foreigner who should never have been allowed into Britain.
Alright?
