Today, Restore Britain has published our comprehensive veterans policy paper, A Home Fit for Heroes. I want Britain to become a country that properly looks after the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. Our proposals are substantial. We will establish a dedicated Department of Veterans' Affairs, headed by a Cabinet-level Secretary of State. One department responsible for veterans' welfare, pensions, compensation, housing, healthcare and employment support. Every local authority area will have access to a dedicated Veterans Officer. Someone who can actually get things done - one point of contact to simplify the process. We will abolish NHS prescription and dental charges for qualifying veterans and their immediate families. Free eye tests and hearing tests, too. Where NHS dentistry is unavailable, we will fund private treatment. Veterans will receive statutory priority for social housing - nobody who served this country should be left sleeping on our streets. NOBODY. We will introduce funded retraining for veterans whose military qualifications are not recognised in civilian life, alongside lifelong employment support. We will also encourage recruitment of former servicemen and women into our police, emergency services, prisons and border services. And importantly - immigration enforcement roles. We will bring post-service pensions and compensation administration together under the new department. Bereaved families will receive dedicated support, and we will introduce a funeral contribution for veterans whose deaths were not attributable to military service. We will legislate to stop malicious legal proceedings against veterans who served. We will not tolerate endless legal harassment of our former servicemen and women - we will legally pursue those found to be engaging in vindictive complaints against our veterans. We will also introduce a statutory Veterans Charter, giving qualifying veterans enforceable rights rather than leaving them dependent on goodwill. As a party, we are sick of seeing veterans treated as an afterthought. These people served our country. Some came home with life-changing injuries. Others lost friends, colleagues and years with their families. They have done their duty to Britain. It is time Britain did its duty to them. That is what a Restore Britain Government will deliver.

According to Home Office documents, Labour's new legal refugee routes are 'initially' from the following countries... Bangladesh India Pakistan Malaysia Egypt Uganda Kenya Initially, being the key word. A Restore Britain Government will reach back and deport every single man, woman and child imported into our home from these schemes - regardless of which status they may hold at that stage. If the law prevents that from happening, Restore Britain MPs will CHANGE THE LAW. We will remove them all, we will deport them all. The British people have had enough.

Where is OUR money being spent? I go through the numbers...

My reaction to the Budget.

Hidden away on page 111 of the Budget - 'The government is providing £150 million capital investment in 2027-28 to fund additional large sites to accommodate asylum seekers' A treasonous decision. Every penny of that should be directed towards a programme of mass deportations.

An additional £1.5 billion to build 10,000 homes in England? I want a cast-iron guarantee from the government that every single one will go to British families.

A Budget that amounts to pissing into a westerly gale - tinkering around the edges while the British economy burns, with a treasury packed full of economic arsonists. It is an insult to every taxpayer, every struggling business and every family being bled dry by this rotten economic system. Nothing will change - we continue our uninterrupted plunge into the abyss. The country is drowning in debt. I don’t know how else to say this… We are BANKRUPT. We cannot afford any of this. Nothing. A crushing tax burden remains, small businesses are strangled and as employers we’re punished for creating jobs. For what? To fund millions of scroungers who can’t be arsed to work like the rest of us? Foreigners who turn up and expect housing, benefits, healthcare? When our tax goes up, THAT is what we are funding. Debt is now THREE TRILLION. We can thank lockdown for a large part of that. But please think about it. Three trillion. The scale is just unimaginable. Yet we get another Chancellor fiddling with the numbers while the country goes up in flames. Billions and billions and billions get added every month. It is GROWING. I don’t know how else to say this. The people governing us seem absolutely incapable of understanding one basic principle. Wealth is created by businesses and workers. NOT by politicians spending somebody else's money to win votes. NOT by the state. NOT by the public sector. I detest it. The British people, working mums and dads, are expected to work longer and harder to fund this corrupt charade - all while giant multinationals shift vast profits out of our country on the back of their work and bloated corporates extract outrageous contract profits from the taxpayer thanks to criminal public sector mismanagement. I challenge Healey or Burnham. Go and start a business. A cafe, a contractor, a small shop. Try being a sole contractor on the tools. Experience these taxes, the regulation, the stress. Have their families rely on sporadic invoices. Watch their earnings get siphoned off by a corrupt state. Let’s see how they get on. The system does not need reforming, or conserving - it needs smashing up. We need to rip apart, limb from limb, the failed assumptions that have governed British economic policy for decades. Cut the waste. Shrink the state. Slash the tax burden. Back small British businesses. Reward work. Restore the incentive to invest, build, employ and succeed. Get millions of healthy Brits OFF benefits. Give people a reason to work. BE UNPOPULAR. If healthy scroungers hate me for taking their benefits off them, good. Get used to it. It’s all that, on a scale never seen before, or the country will collapse further into a third world hellhole - only this time we’ll get the hyperinflation and total economic catastrophe in addition to the migrants. I refuse to leave a broken, bankrupt nation to my children and grandchildren. Restore Britain is offering a route out. It will be painful, more than anyone realises. But it is the only way.
