Why ...

When I look at my daughter, I see her future. And right now, our nation is struggling, and I know that this worry isn't just mine. It’s a reality that echoes in millions of homes, from one end of the country to the other, uniting us in a shared anger that we can no longer accept the way things are. It’s time to put things right, and I can't do it without you.


I'm not going to pretend I'm someone special. My story isn't one of privilege, it began on a council estate, and I've certainly had my share of bumps in the road. For much of my life, I've battled with depression, and anxiety, and I'm not ashamed to say I've needed help to get by. But because of that, I know what real life feels like. I know the struggle to make ends meet, a reality that seems a million miles away from the people in No.10.


My vision isn't complicated. It’s about the fairness that your hard work should be rewarded with more than just the ability to scrape by. It's about getting our nation back on a path we can all believe in, and feeling that sense of pride in the place we call home. I’m not afraid to take on the corporate giants or to make the tough calls, because my loyalty is to you. I want to build a nation that is simpler, fairer, where our children can grow up safe, and knowing that a bright future is waiting for them.


It’s true, I don't have political experience, but I consider that my greatest strength. The 'experienced' politicians have had their turn, and it's time for leadership that comes from the real world, not the Westminster bubble. Forget the usual political resume; my qualifications come from the real world: making every pound stretch, feeling the knot in your stomach when your car breaks down, facing the sting of an unexpected bill, and dreaming of a better life for your family. Ultimately, I am just a father who wants a better future for his daughter, and I can promise you honesty, a fresh perspective, and an unbreakable determination to fight for your family, and mine.

  • We want to give you a direct say on the big decisions facing our country, from government policy to local council issues. For example, you could be asked to vote on things like:
    • Sample Issue 1: UK Time Zone
      • Switch permanently to GMT all year round
      • Keep the current system of switching between GMT and BST
    • Sample Issue 2: Changing the Voting System
      • Yes, we should change it.
      • No, we should keep the current system.
    • Sample Issue 3: Support for Ukraine
      • Increase current levels of financial and military aid.
      • Maintain current levels of aid.
      • Reduce aid to focus only on humanitarian support.
      • End all forms of support completely.
    • And to make sure your vote truly counts, the result of any public vote will be legally binding.
    • So, how would a vote be triggered? There would be four clear ways:
      • The government can call one with a simple majority vote (50% + 1) in the House of Commons.
      • A supermajority of 66% of Parliament.
      • If two of the UK's devolved nations (e.g., Scotland and Wales) agree on an issue.
      • A public petition signed by 3.5 million people.
    • Voting will be made simple and convenient through a secure government app or website.
    • To vote, you'll just need to be a UK citizen and aged 18 or over.
    • To help everyone make an informed choice, before you vote, you'll be required to watch a short, impartial 5-10 minute video. It will be created by an independent body to explain the pros and cons of each option – think of the style of a Kurzgesagt video on YouTube.
    • The security of this system is our top priority. We'll use only the best people in the field to build it. We’ll even pay professional hackers to try and break it, and run a bounty program to reward anyone who finds a security flaw.
  • We’ll also launch a new and improved government petitions app and website.
    • It will use the same secure platform as the voting system and have clear results:
      • 10,000 signatures will get you an official government response.
      • 100,000 signatures means it will be considered for a debate in Parliament.
      • 1 million signatures means it will be considered for a full public vote.
      • 3.5 million signatures will automatically trigger a public vote.
      • All petitions will stay open for six months.
  • The development of this will begin immediately.
  • For the first two to three years, our focus will be on laying the groundwork. That means training thousands of new bricklayers, plumbers, architects, and other skilled professionals, while also securing land, drawing up plans, and sorting out contracts for building supplies.
  • We'll also make sure that every new development has the right infrastructure from the start. We’re talking about building proper communities with all the necessary services and amenities, not just homes.
  • From year four onwards, we'll ramp up to building over 100,000 homes a year. We'll keep the training programmes going and continue acquiring land to maintain this pace for the long term.
  • Alongside this, we will also work on bringing the thousands of existing empty homes back into use, though it's important to note these are separate from our new-build figures.
  • This work will begin immediately.
  • The town and country planning act is slow, complex, and unpredictable. This stifles development, infrastructure projects, and economic growth.
  • The town and country planning act will be scraped, and a new system that is simpler, fairer and faster.
  • The process of creating this system will begin straight away with all necessary resources, to get this nation growing again.
  • A Land Value Tax works on a straightforward principle: it taxes the value of the land itself, completely ignoring the value of the buildings or improvements on it.
  • The result is a fairer system where ordinary families would be better off financially, as the tax burden falls more squarely on the wealthy landowners.
  • A major strength of this tax is that it's virtually evasion-proof. Since land can't be hidden away or moved offshore, it eliminates the complex avoidance schemes that undermine other taxes.
  • This encourages people to develop and improve their land, because, unlike existing taxes, they won't be penalised with a higher bill for doing so.
  • There's also a crucial safeguard for those with valuable property but little income. Payments can be deferred and registered as a charge against the property, only becoming due when it's sold or inherited.
  • The introduction of this tax would mean we can finally abolish several unpopular taxes: Council Tax, Business Rates, and Stamp Duty.
  • It's a common concern that landlords would just pass any new tax on to you by raising the rent, but it's not that straightforward. In reality, you'd have the power. If your landlord tried to hike the rent to cover the tax, you could just find another place to live at a better price. You might think, "But where would I go?" That's the key. By building 500,000 new council homes and overhauling restrictive planning laws, we'd see thousands of new homes become available. This flood of new housing creates real competition. Suddenly, landlords can't afford to lose good tenants. This market pressure means they have to absorb the tax themselves, because if they don't, you'll simply take your business elsewhere.
  • To protect our vital agricultural sector, farmers would benefit from the lowest possible tax rate.
  • To ensure the system remains accurate, land would be revalued on an annual basis.
  • The groundwork would begin immediately. The precise rate will be determined by the latest data, and the new system will be introduced carefully over a 10-year period.
  • Let's be frank, the triple lock is completely unsustainable. It's a political hot potato that no party wants to touch, but this change needs to happen before it's too late.
  • The simple fact is, it adds billions of pounds to government spending every single year.
  • To get these costs under control, the plan is to tie the state pension to the growth in national average earnings instead.
  • This is part of a bigger picture, and a whole new pension system is also being drawn up. More on that below.
  • Many countries around the world have legalised cannabis. It's time for the UK to benefit and come into the 21st centenary. 
  • Legalise and regulate cannabis for nonmedical adult use.
  • Generate over 15,000 new jobs.
  • £1billion+ in annual tax revenue.
  • £300million in annual savings from across the Criminal Justice system e.g. reduced spending on policing, courts, Legal Aid etc.
  • Plans will be drawn up straight away and brought in as soon as possible.
  • Read more about legalising cannabis over at the Transform Foundation website.

Legal and Illegal immigrants

Let's be frank about the situation. Once an illegal immigrant is in the UK, it’s impossible to remove them. It doesn't matter if their case is strong or weak. They may be from a country we can't send people back to, or they might destroy their papers, claim modern slavery, ECHR stops us, or just disappear. The system is broken.


We'd love to be able to give every newcomer a home, healthcare, and financial help, but we simply can't. We're already failing to look after many of our own people who are in desperate need. While there's no simple fix, this new policy is an attempt to create a manageable and sustainable immigration system. It’s about being able to decide how many people we can realistically support. Yes, it clashes with things like the Refugee Convention and the ECHR, but something has to change.


And let’s be clear: this isn’t about being anti-immigration. This nation thrives on legal immigration. One of the biggest upsides is financial. Immigrants tend to be young and working, so they pay in more in taxes than they use in services. That’s extra cash for everyone’s benefit.


Our NHS is a perfect example, it leans heavily on staff from abroad. So many of our doctors and nurses are immigrants. Without them, the NHS would struggle to give us the care we all expect. They're not just providing a service; their taxes help to fund it.


Therefore, the ultimate goal of a modernised system should be to align immigration with our country's future. A modern, points-based approach would allow us to be selective in a positive way, actively welcoming the scientists, innovators, and skilled workers who will build our tomorrow. This isn't about closing our doors; it's about opening them to the right people who can help drive our economy, strengthen our public services, and ensure the UK remains competitive on the global stage.

  • Anyone who arrives in the UK through unauthorized routes, such as by boat or by overstaying their visa, our message will be clear: you will not be able to stay. We will provide accommodation for them while we make arrangements for their prompt departure.
  • Accommodation will be in the form of camps. These camps will be set up on former military bases, with the armed forces managing the construction of the necessary facilities. We will ensure that all the essential needs of those housed there are fully met.
  • To ensure safety and cater to different needs, we will operate two types of centres. One will be specifically for families, women, and children, while the other will be for single adult men.
  • Our main aim will be to return individuals to their home country. In situations where this is not safe or practical, we will arrange for them to be transferred to a safe third country where they will have the opportunity to build a new life.
  • The long-term goal is to create a system where it is widely understood that there is no advantage to entering the UK illegally. This approach will strike at the heart of the cruel trade run by people smugglers, ensuring they can no longer profit from putting lives at risk.
  • To ensure this process is swift and consistent, we will operate a regular schedule of daily flights.
  • We will also tackle the problem from within by imposing much harsher penalties on businesses that employ people who do not have the right to work. Owners of companies found doing so will face significant fines of up to £250,000 per worker and could face a prison sentence of up to five years.
  • Similarly, anyone found to be knowingly housing an individual without legal status will face the same severe consequences: up to five years in prison and a fine of £250,000 for each person they are sheltering.
  • To support these measures, we will increase funding for enforcement officers tasked with identifying and locating those living in the country without permission.
  • We are committed to closing every loophole in our immigration system.
  • We are realistic about the scale of the challenge. Attempting to immediately remove or detain every person who is currently in the country without permission would be an impossible task.
  • Therefore, we will handle existing cases differently from new arrivals. Anyone already in the asylum system awaiting a decision will have their case processed fairly. They will not be sent to a camp. However, if their claim is ultimately rejected, they will then be housed in the centres to await removal.
  • This same opportunity to have a case heard will be extended to all individuals currently in the UK illegally who have not yet come forward. This will be a one-off, limited offer, available for just three months after the new government takes office.
  • Under the new system, any legal appeal against a decision can only be lodged from outside the UK, after the person has been deported.
  • A key part of this plan is to clear the existing backlog. To achieve this, we will recruit and train a significant number of new officers, with the clear goal of processing all outstanding asylum applications within our first year.
  • It's clear that our current immigration system is broken and isn't working for anyone. We need to build a new one from the ground up that is fair to the British people and fair to those who wish to come here legally.
  • Right now, we're seeing visas being granted for roles like debt collectors and mortgage administrators that should be filled by workers already in the UK. At the same time, the student visa system is being misused, with people bringing family members, switching to work visas before finishing their courses, and working unlimited hours. This all needs to stop.
  • To design a system that works for everyone, we will work alongside the businesses and universities that use skilled migrants. We'll also listen carefully to the people who have used the current system and understand its flaws.
  • My focus is on welcoming skilled workers who bring real value to our country and fill genuine gaps in our workforce.
  • The approach to helping refugees will also change. Instead of accepting asylum claims made in the UK, we will create a direct, safe route for the world's most vulnerable refugees, primarily women and children, straight from UN camps. We will set an initial cap, for example, of 5,000 people a year, and as our nation's economic situation improves, we'll be in a position to welcome more.
  • This will be backed by tougher and more focused enforcement to make sure the rules are being followed.
  • To strengthen our borders, we will recruit and train more Border Force agents.
  • Ultimately, our goal is to bring net migration down to sustainable, sensible levels. We should be talking about tens of thousands of people a year, not the hundreds of thousands we see now.

Reviews

We all know our country is facing some huge challenges that need a thorough review. I believe the only way to solve them is by working together. I don't have all the answers, so my first step would be to bring in the experts and listen, rather than pushing a fixed agenda like the older parties.


This vital work would begin immediately, instead of leaving it for future generations. The cost will be immense, billions of pounds, at a time when we have to be realistic about our finances. It will be a slow and steady journey, but the important thing is that we'll be making progress together. Once each review is complete, the findings will be shared with the nation and brought to Parliament for debate. Then a clear plan will be drawn up and implemented.

Year 1

  • Immigration review above.
  • The rising cost of living is a major challenge for UK families, and while our long-term plan will address the crisis, immediate help is needed now. We will launch a 60-day review to explore all options for support, including VAT cuts on energy, capping bills, and a windfall tax. Once the review is complete, we will act on all the suggested measures to provide relief. A straightforward plan will then be published to explain how we will tackle this issue and the reasons behind our decisions.
  • It’s not fair that you pay your taxes while some multinational giants use expensive lawyers and offshore tricks to pay next to nothing. We're going to launch a review of our ridiculously complicated tax system, closing the loopholes and shutting down the dodgy schemes for good. This is about creating a simple and fair system where everyone, from your local high-street shop to the biggest global companies, finally plays by the same rules and pays their fair share.
  • There’s a simple promise that should exist in our country: if you work hard your whole life, you should be able to retire with security and dignity. Right now, that promise is broken. That's why we’ll bring together the experts to help us design a new pension system from the ground up, one that's actually built for the modern world. Life has changed, we're all living longer and very few of us have a single job for life, so we need a system that's flexible and fair for everyone.


Year 2

  • The NHS was founded on the simple, powerful principle that the best healthcare should be available to all, not just those who can afford it. That's why we will begin a review to end the creeping privatisation within our health service, bringing contracts and services back into public hands. This means ensuring every penny of your taxpayer money is spent on patient care, not diverted to company profits.
  • It has become almost impossible to find an NHS dentist, and nobody should have to live in pain or pull out their own teeth because they can't get the care they need. We'll start by launching a review of the broken contract that has pushed so many dentists out of the health service, and we'll do it by listening to dentists themselves. The goal is simple: to rebuild NHS dentistry so everyone, no matter where they live, can get affordable dental care when they need it.
  • Our farmers work tirelessly to put food on our tables and care for our countryside, yet they're being squeezed by unfair prices and endless uncertainty. That's why we’re going to start by listening to them, launching a review that puts farmers, not politicians, in the driver's seat. The aim is to build a system that’s fair to our farmers and fair to families, guaranteeing a good price for their produce while keeping the cost of your weekly shop down.
  • Your energy bill shouldn't be at the mercy of unstable world markets. We need reliable, home-grown power to keep the lights on and bring down costs for good, all while tackling climate change. That's why we’ll launch a review into expanding nuclear energy. It’s a safe, clean power source that works 24/7, providing a constant supply that renewables alone can't guarantee. Read more about the safety of nuclear energy.


Year 3

  • For too long, we’ve asked our schools to do the impossible: chase league table rankings while our teachers are burning out and too many children, especially those with special needs, are left struggling. That’s why we’ll start fresh, launching a review with teachers at its heart and looking at what the best education systems in the world, like Finland's, are doing right. This is our chance to build a modern curriculum full of practical life skills, and critical thinking, creating a system that truly prepares every child for the future.
  • Let's be honest, the benefit's system can feel like a cruel and complicated maze, often punishing the very people it's supposed to help. That's why we won't be writing the rules from an office, we'll start by listening to the real experts: the charities and real people on the ground who see the problems firsthand every day. It’s about working together to build a simpler, kinder system that provides a proper safety net and, most importantly, treats people with the dignity they deserve.


Year 4

  • It feels wrong that essential services like water, trams and buses are run to generate private profit instead of serving the people who depend on them. That’s why we will start a straightforward, honest review into bringing these vital public assets back into public hands. This is our chance to create a single, joined-up transport network that’s affordable and reliable, and a water system that focuses on clean rivers and fair bills, not shareholder dividends.
  • Artificial Intelligence is no longer science fiction, it’s changing our world at lightning speed, and we have to be ready. That’s why we’ll launch a review to get to grips with what AI means for us, both the incredible opportunities for our economy, and the very real threat to jobs. This is about creating a clear plan to make sure this powerful technology works for all of us, not just for a handful of giant tech companies.

Other Policies

  • Make social media change their content delivery algorithms for under 16s. To promote succeeding at sports, school etc not fight videos, adult content, abuse etc.

Most of these will not be permeant. Once reviews are complete and other systems put in place, these will change.  

  • More money and resources will be given to HMRC to tackle tax abuse.
  • 2% tax on assets over £10 million
  • Raise remote gaming duty.
  • Tax vacant property.
