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.

Farage says he would gift Trump the Chagos Islands in return for his silence on the Falkland Islands. It’s all just so pathetic. Alternatively, we can simply keep both the Chagos Islands and the Falkland Islands - that is the painfully obvious solution. Sucking up to the Americans will solve nothing. The grovelling just won’t work. We need a British Government with the balls to look after our own. A foreign policy that puts one country at the top of the agenda. Not America. Not Palestine. Not Israel. Not China. Not the Europeans. Britain. And that is EXACTLY what Restore Britain will do.

I do not believe that the NHS should exist to serve millions of migrants from the third world. Walk into any waiting room, any emergency department, any specialist clinic, any maternity unity - you’ll see exactly what I mean. British men and women forced to wait months, even years, for an appointment or procedure, whilst the system gets clogged up by migrants who should not be in our country. I’ll get the usual screeching in response to this about how the NHS would collapse without immigration. Wrong. We can welcome the French oncologist or South Korean surgeon without also welcoming millions of zero-skilled migrants who use and abuse our generosity. We don’t have to do both, clearly. There is a better way. Here is Restore Britain’s six point plan to fix the NHS. Demand. - Most importantly, reverse mass immigration. - A financial penalty for missed appointments without an evidenced reason. Supply. - Remove caps on medical-school places so that more talented British young men and women have the opportunity to become doctors/professionals - apprenticeships, training schemes and more. - With the same effort for dentistry, which is equally important. - Work to retain experienced NHS staff, bringing them back into the service with incentives. - Maintain a selective route for genuinely exceptional overseas medical professionals. - Demand rigorous and consistent professional standards. - Ensure no qualified and capable British medical professional is out of work. - Introduce grants to attract emigrated qualified Brits back home. Access. - Work with the private sector on a massive scale to reduce waiting lists to manageable levels, alongside a 24/7 service in appropriate units. - Use AI to bypass the GP bottleneck, clearing the way for rapid diagnostic tests, with appropriate clinical safeguards. - Invest in community support to hasten discharges so that hospital beds aren't occupied by patients who no longer need the care. - End the 8am GP appointment scramble. Establish more accessible online booking systems, with urgent appointments appropriately prioritised and telephone access retained for those who need it. - A national infrastructure reinvestment scheme for technology, diagnostics, equipment and facilities. Patient experience. - Make hospital parking free for patients, visitors and staff, introducing sensible controls to protect availability. - Remove ALL foreign-language translation services across the health service. - Ensure all staff speak fluent English - OBVIOUSLY. - Improve complaint/whistleblowing processes so that patients and staff have a proper voice. - Invest in proper hospital food - British sourced, nutritious, and as natural as possible. - Respect continuity of care, making it easier for patients with complex or long-term conditions to see the same GP or clinical team. - Patients will receive clear, timely and understandable explanations of delays, cancelled operations, test results and changes to treatment plans. NHS culture - End every last DEI programmes and the politicisation of the health service - staff will leave their rainbow lanyards at home. - Require NHS staff to prioritise patient care, professional standards and political impartiality. - Sack the staff who breach these professional obligations. - Introduce salary-linked league tables for senior executives across the trusts. Again, remove those who are not performing. Efficiency - Radically reduce NHS bureaucracy. - Eliminate duplicated administrative roles, wasteful expenditure and unnecessary management layers. - Overhaul procurement - put qualified men and women with genuine private sector experience in charge of a total root and branch review of how our money is being spent. - Conduct an NHS-wide technology audit - drag it into 2026. A full Restore Britain policy is being worked on, but these are the principles on which it is based. In the medium to long term, we need a more fundamental conversation about how healthcare is delivered in Britain. But this is the basis of Restore Britain’s plan to ensure the health service provides timely and robust care to the people who need it. The British people.
