It remains absolutely astonishing that Danny Tommo is in prison BEFORE his trial, for MONTHS. I won't forget it, and nor should you.

Tommy Robinson has been found guilty - it is my view that the system has, again, treated him unfairly. We live in dark times.

I have always respected Tommy Robinson for his work on the rape gangs - he gave evidence to our inquiry, and it was remarkable to hear his level of knowledge. It contributed massively to our findings. Tommy was fair and balanced. I learnt a lot. He has not been treated fairly by our establishment for many years, and today is the latest example of that. To be honest, I believe it is a disgrace. He was right on the rape gangs. The state was wrong. They want to vilify him for that. The media, the justice system, Labour, the Tories, Farage. It was made very clear to me when I was in Reform that I was not to praise Tommy Robinson publicly. I did regardless. The entire establishment is against him. My view is this - he has done more than any politician to uncover the rape gangs, and for that I thank him.

The Restore Britain Budget. Britain has spent decades being governed by politicians who believe the answer to every problem is yet more government - that policy has destroyed our country. More spending. More borrowing. More regulation. More taxes. More state. Parasitic overreach into our lives - delivered by politicians and civil servants who have no understanding or appreciation of how real wealth and opportunity is generated in the private sector. And what have the British people received in return? A country where working families struggle. Where businesses face punishing costs. Where young people cannot afford homes. Where failing public services demand ever more money, whilst prioritising endless third world migrants. Where inflation runs rampant. For British men and women, it is a government-backed scam. Corrupt incompetence. It is impossible for Britain to tax itself into prosperity. I repeat, IMPOSSIBLE. Wealth is created by people - the public sector should exist to support the private sector, not the reverse and that is the principle which underpins our philosophy. Restore Britain backs the farmer producing food, the white van man driving the economy, the engineer designing machinery, the shopkeeper serving customers and the entrepreneur risking everything to start a business. It comes down to this - Restore Britain will protect their freedom to succeed. If you work hard and contribute, we are on your side. Our Budget would begin the work of returning power, responsibility and money to the British people. First, the spending cuts - to come before ANY reductions in tax. Our 20 point plan to restore prosperity… 1. Freeze working-age benefit rates. We will freeze working-age benefit rates for the duration of the first Parliament. Britain cannot indefinitely increase expenditure without considering the burden on the people funding it. That would be morally wrong. The healthy indolent will not be rewarded. 2. Restrict welfare eligibility. No more benefits for foreigners, saving billions. No need to expand. 3. Reform sickness and disability benefits We will overhaul eligibility, assessment procedures and return-to-work support. People with serious disabilities and health conditions must receive appropriate protection. But those who can work, will work. If they refuse, they will be put to work. That simple. 4. Reform pensions. We will protect the State Pension while replacing the triple lock with annual CPI uprating. Public-sector pension arrangements will be overhauled to address differences with private-sector provision. These measures will save tens of billions - all outlined in full in our economic paper, The Wealth Of Our Nation. Next, take an axe to unnecessary government spending 5. The quango bonfire. We will conduct a comprehensive review of arm's-length public bodies, the default will be abolish unless there is a serious reason to retain. Where its functions duplicate a government department, consolidate them. Deliver accountability and savings. AI will mean vast cuts are possible. A LOT of Whitehall civil servants will lose their jobs. To be frank. 6. Freeze most departmental budgets. We will introduce a three-year nominal spending freeze across most government departments - the main exception will be our programme of mass deportations, which in the short term will cost, however as we know, any immediate funds will be quickly recovered and then some. 7. End public spending on Net Zero. We will end all public expenditure directed towards achieving Net Zero. Energy security will be our main priority. We will support investment in dependable domestic energy supplies, including the infrastructure needed to maintain a resilient electricity system. Energy security will be placed above any ideological dogma. If it makes Britain more resilient, we will pursue it. 8. Review government consultancy and discretionary expenditure. We will audit consultancy contracts, procurement services, and ALL external advisory work - spending that cannot demonstrate a clear public benefit should end. The procurement scam will end. All bullshit ESG and social value nonsense will be stripped away - if the public sector wants to use a third party firm, make it the best one - subject to right-to-work checks to ensure no illegals are being employed. As stated - spending cuts first, then tax cuts. Done carefully and responsibly. Here’s an overview of how a Restore Britain Government will lift the tax burden… 9. Raise the income tax personal allowance to £16,000. Nobody should be paying income tax on their first £16,000 of earnings. We will raise the personal allowance and extend the basic-rate income tax band to £100,000. We will also restore the full personal allowance to higher earners, ending the withdrawal that creates exceptionally high effective marginal tax rates. Success will be rewarded, hard work will be rewarded, ambition will be rewarded. 10. Cut corporation tax. We will introduce a zero corporation tax rate on the first £50,000 of company profits. Above that threshold, we will restore the headline rate to 19%, with a longer-term ambition of 15%. As soon as fiscal conditions allow. Let’s give small businesses the genuine breathing room to get their operation off the ground, and then use the corporation tax cut to compete with our neighbours. 11. Abolish inheritance tax and stamp duty. Families should not be punished for saving, investing and passing assets to their children. We will abolish inheritance tax. For farmers, for family businesses, for everyone. The state has no claim to a family's lifetime of accumulated wealth simply because somebody has died. I detest it. It will be binned for all. Stamp duty makes moving home more expensive, discourages mobility and creates unnecessary friction in the housing market. We will abolish it. 12. Reduce disruptive tax. We will cut the standard rate of VAT from 20% to 18%. We will also raise the VAT registration threshold to £150,000, helping smaller businesses grow without immediately facing additional tax burden. The amount of businesses hovering just under the current threshold is painful. The issue is OBVIOUS, yet nobody in government has thought to act. And we will ditch unnecessary taxes. We will abolish: Insurance Premium Tax. Air Passenger Duty. The Climate Change Levy. The UK Emissions Trading Scheme. We will also substantially increase the annual Capital Gains Tax exemption. Restore Britain’s objective is a tax system that is simpler, more predictable and less hostile to investment. Next, we will restore a state that works for our people. 13. Hold the NHS accountable. The NHS will remain free at the point of use for British citizens. We propose charging non-citizens at market rates - ensuring they actually pay the bills. We will make private healthcare expenditure tax deductible. If people want to go private, let’s make it cheaper. Alongside far-reaching structural reform, we will demand basic improvements in patient communication. Answer the telephone. Confirm referrals. Explain test results. Keep patients informed. Use AI to clear pressure on GPs. All patient-facing staff must demonstrate the English-language communication skills necessary to perform their roles safely. If staff can’t speak English to the required standard, they will no longer have a job. 14. Restore Britain’s education system. We will move towards greater school-level autonomy, with funding more closely linked to pupil numbers. We will remove VAT from private education and make private education tax deductible. We will also promote practical education, apprenticeships and stronger links between schools and employers. The aim will be to prepare children for working adulthood - full paper to come. Apprenticeships are vital - my businesses have developed hundreds and hundreds. It works, especially with the rise of AI. Student loan interest abolished for British nationals resident in the UK, full paper published. An overhaul of childcare regulation and funding - led by those in the sector who know what’s necessary and what’s not. Next. The Restore Britain Budget will work to restore a self-sufficient Britain, backed by sovereign AI capabilities. 15. Support British farming and food security. We will review the regulatory and tax burdens facing British farmers. Food security must be recognised as a matter of national resilience and urgency. That will be central to everything. We will make it FAR easier for domestic producers to compete for public-sector food contracts and examine ways to reduce unnecessary administration. Let’s use the public sector spend to back our own people, not import from foreign farmers. Britain should not become increasingly dependent on imported food while making it harder for its own farmers to survive. And we desperately need to bring more young people into the industry… 16. Ease pressure on transport network. We will rebuild Britain's transport network, tackling potholes, congestion and crumbling infrastructure while improving vital freight routes and rural roads - motorists will no longer be treated as cash cows. Fuel duty cut, and plenty more. (Full paper about to be published.) Get this right, and the whole economy is lubricated. 17. Back small businesses. We will review regulations introduced over recent decades, with a presumption in favour of removing law. Compliance simplified, licensing stripped back. Administrative burdens burned away. Scrap IR35, obviously. Business rates abolished for small high street businesses. Review car park charges. Boost police numbers in town centres. Restore confidence on the high street. Bring footfall back. Watch businesses thrive. 18. Develop sovereign AI capability. AI is coming whether we like it or not. We need to ensure that we have our own protected AI capability which can promote and defend our own interests. We’re already falling behind, and it’s getting worse. We have the opportunity to be a genuine world-leader. Let’s pursue it. 19. A foreign policy that puts Britain’s interests first. No endless foreign wars driving up the cost of living for ordinary families, no foreign aid unless explicitly to advance our interests. We will prioritise national security, trade, energy independence and protecting British citizens abroad. Spending will be increased, but our armed forces exist to defend Britain and our vital national interests, not to act as the world's policeman. 20. Protect sound money and fiscal stability. This is the most important of all. We will pursue a balanced Budget over the medium term and a declining debt-to-GDP ratio. Our aim is to cut the debt, not just the deficit. The era of mass money printing will end. Inflation will be controlled. The cost-of-living reduced. The aim - a Britain that belongs to its people Every Budget promises change, while the state grows larger and the taxpayer becomes poorer. Restore Britain offers a completely different direction. A smaller government that spends less - all helped by a massive reduction in the number of migrants living in Britain. Doing a small list of things, but doing them well. A welfare state that protects genuine need and expects personal responsibility. A tax system that rewards work, saving and enterprise. Public services that answer to the people who fund them. An economy built on productive businesses rather than a parasitic state. We do not believe the British people need politicians to manage every aspect of their lives. We believe they need the freedom to build better lives for themselves. In short - we will stop buying votes with other people’s money. Our ambition is not to make government richer. It is to restore the prosperity of the British economy, the British nation and the British people.

Farage apparently thinks the question of Englishness is an “academic debate”, in his words, that is not worth engaging in - a simply extraordinary thing to say. We are witnessing profound demographic change across Britain, and the leader of Reform thinks the meaning of English identity is a subject to be brushed aside because he’s scared of being called a few unpleasant names. Englishness is NOT an academic debate. The English are a historic people. We have our own ancestry, heritage, culture, traditions and national identity. Incredibly, Farage disagrees with that. My view, and Restore Britain's view, is clear. We are not simply a collection of passport holders living within a geographical boundary. And acknowledging the existence of the historic English people does not mean denying that others can develop a genuine attachment and belonging to our nation, but that does not make them ethnically English. A government can print a passport, sadly we all know that - it CANNOT falsely manufacture centuries of history or ancestral roots. The historic English people have a home - it’s called England, and we have nowhere else to go. And yes, in that home, the English are being demographically replaced. That’s just a fact. It’s happening all over Britain, it’s happened all over Britain. Go to East London, Rochdale, Luton, Birmingham, Blackburn, Bradford. I could go on. This is NOT an academic debate. This is our home, or at least it was. Farage is simply not the man to save it. You cannot claim to defend a nation when you refuse to even acknowledge its historic people because you might get your feelings hurt. The hour is simply too late for that pathetic level of gutlessness. The English are not an academic abstract afterthought. We will not have our history and entire existence erased because cowardly politicians don’t have the courage to state the truth. We are a people, and England is our home. Restore Britain will defend it.

France will burn into the late morning hours. To what end? So they can harbour millions who hate everything of what is means to be French? Was it worth it? Will it be worth it in Britain, when similar violence inevitably erupts? I think not. We watch as migrants ransack Paris whilst flying the flag of various African countries. Some may have arrived illegally, for most their presence is entirely ‘legal’. Plenty were probably born in France, and are technically ‘French’. For the rioters, evidently, their allegiance is not to France, or to the French people. Where does their loyalty truly lie? Their clan. The civilised world’s response must reflect that. Those convicted for arson, organised violence, and attacks on innocent people must face substantial prison sentences - foreign nationals involved must be removed. Citizenships stripped from dual nationals, obviously. Mass deportations. Act before they do. And in exceptional cases, I would go further. A Restore Britain Government will develop bilateral agreements and mechanisms with third countries to accept second-generation migrant offenders convicted of domestic terrorism and other such serious crimes, who, for now, hold only British citizenship. There will be no statelessness. It will be conducted fairly, and it will cost, but it will be done, and a message will be sent. The French should do the same. If you burn down a city, terrorise law-abiding citizens and torch the society around you - there will be consequences worthy of the crime. And if your allegiance lies elsewhere, and you demonstrate that through terrorism or extreme violence, a Restore Britain Government will send you to the country you claim allegiance to - if that's where your loyalty lies, we will aim to make that a reality. Britain is just a few short years behind France. We’ve had our warning - we must take it.

Various members of those appalling Conservative governments have labelled Restore Britain extremists or whatever else. Rees-Mogg, Nadine Dorries, Boris Johnson and some. My view? What they inflicted on our country was the real extremist policy. Unfettered immigration from the third world, COVID lockdowns, vaccine passports, record taxes, outrageous debt, the spread of DEI. A betrayal, on so many levels. They had the majority, they failed - astonishingly, many are now helping to lead Reform. And then those same people have the cheek to insult and abuse Restore Britain? To be honest, after what they did to our country, I don't know how they sleep at night.

Restore Britain’s next aim is to achieve the biggest political party membership in Wales. We’re now second in Scotland, we can go one better in Wales. Welsh patriots finally have a genuine political home in Restore Britain.

GB News continues to insult us, yet refuses to allow me on the channel to defend Restore Britain. It's pathetic.

I have very important news to share this morning. Restore Britain has just overtaken the Reform membership in Scotland - more than Labour, the Tories, the Greens. Restore Britain is now the second largest party in Scotland - historic. We are going to take the fight to the SNP.

Restore Britain has started the process of standing candidates all over the country in local by-elections. We are building a national political party from nothing, in a very crowded field. For a seven-month old party to turn up from nowhere and get over 7% in a Blackpool ward which has been Labour for generations is remarkable progress - beating the Tories, Greens and Lib Dems. With another solid showing in Leicestershire. More to come today in the North East, too... We don’t have decades old voter data to help us, we certainly don’t have any consolidated foreign national or Muslim vote to help us. We have patriotic men and women who made the effort to get out and give us their support. It is inspiring. I want to thank each and every one of them. Their votes belong to nobody, not us, not Reform, nobody. It is our job to keep their trust, and continue earning more from others. The arrogance to assume that they should all meekly fall in line and support a party that does not adequately represent them is astonishing. I made Reform an offer to work together on a patriotic policy platform, and that offer was outright rejected by Reform. That’s their choice. I stated that if it was rejected, then Restore Britain will ensure that every single voter has the opportunity to vote for that offering. That is what we are now doing. In local council by-elections, and at the next election. We have started the process of announcing general election candidates, with dozens and dozens more coming soon. Membership is soaring, with 900 new sign ups yesterday alone. Polling is on the up, and candidates are being put in place. But to those who put their faith in Restore Britain yesterday at the ballot box. Thank you - it’s appreciated. We won’t let you down, and we’ll work to ensure that you feel able to support us again.

Big Scottish news. Scottish Labour have 11,000 members. After our surge this week, Restore Britain now has 11,117. Restore Britain has more members than Labour in Scotland, and we're rapidly catching Reform on 12,500. Already beating Tories and the Greens. Historic progress.

Wow. A new poll just out has put Restore Britain up two points. We are now just ONE point behind the Lib Dems. Restore Britain is a seven month old party. Think about what we have achieved in that short time. I have zero doubt - we can win the 2029 general election.

Big news. A new poll just out - Restore Britain is now only two points behind the Green Party. We are offering a genuine patriotic alternative and millions of Brits are taking it.

A Muslim lobby group has stated that a ‘formal complaint’ has been submitted to the counter-terrorism police ‘requesting an assessment of Rupert Lowe MP over concerns about his rhetoric concerning Muslims, immigration and demographic change.’ Made on the 17th of September, coming just after their attempt to have me removed from parliament. All about my work on the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, my various criticisms of Islam, and our promotion of mass deportations. Here’s my official response, and they can quote me on it. These thugs can piss off. I am absolutely sick of aggressive and domineering Muslims believing that can bend the country to their will. It’s happened for decades, with no MP willing to stand up to them. Now that’s changed, they don’t like it and want me out of parliament and in prison - they can get in the queue. Restore Britain has been very clear that we will reverse the islamification of our country, and I have never been more confident that it’s the morally right thing to do. I am not going anywhere.

Britain is heading for national bankruptcy. The national debt is over £3000bn, up almost 10 fold in a generation. In August alone the Government borrowed a further £18.3bn, the worst August figure since COVID, despite record tax rises. The money raised from taxation is going into a black hole for little or no benefit to British people. In fact, we are now largely funding the third world invasion of our shores. It is bent beyond belief. The Government is accumulating £130bn of new debt each year and we are spending over £120bn each year just to service this debt. That is about twice the defence budget, wasted. A millstone around the young’s necks for past profligacy. It shames my generation. Since Labour won in July 2024 they have continued feathering the public sector’s nest. Public sector pay has risen 12.8% since July 2024 compared with private sector increases of 7.8% while inflation is up 7.3%. Public sector worker headline pays now £757 per week against £739 for the private sector. The real gap is far higher due to far more generous pensions, generally longer holidays, higher public sector absentee rates and a job for life culture. This might be fine if the productivity of the public sector was credible. It is not. Obviously. More if we look at employment growth since January 2000 the public sector has taken on a staggering 1,137,000 extra workers while the private sector has been stagnant putting on a mere 231,000 jobs. When one considers the UK population was estimated at 67.1 million in 2020 against 69.3 million today the private sector is in clear and obvious recession. This recession is entirely the Government’s fault by engineering very high energy prices while increasing tax and regulation. A recipe for disaster, to say the very least. For this extra million plus workers in the public sector one might have expected fantastic service. Do you believe that’s the case? I certainly don’t. ONS data suggests shows that public sector productivity has risen a whopping 1.8% since 1997. 1997 is the very dawn of the internet, pre AI and digital technology - this is a staggeringly inept performance and lags UK economy wide productivity gains averaging 32%. If one excludes debt interest payments and welfare payments HMG spends c£850bn. A 31% productivity gap since equates to c£230bn of lost opportunity. The mystery of the UK’s abysmal economic performance is no mystery at all. It comes down clearly and simply as a result of the private sector being crushed and crowded out under the weight of gross public sector inefficiency. I detest it. A generation ago Britain was split roughly two thirds private and one third public, today it is close to 50-50. Through massive regulation, high taxation, welfarism and excess debt we have swapped a productive private sector led economy for an incompetent and failing public sector one. Britain spends £45,000 for every family in the land on a public sector which is clearly not fit for purpose. The radical change needed to restore Britain is possibly more than the average voter will accept. But it’s the only way, and Restore Britain will continue to make that difficult argument. I am hopeful that voters will appreciate the honesty for a change. Because many, many, many awful decisions lay ahead. They need to be taken.
