What has happened to our Restore Britain team on the streets of Holborn and St Pancras, again, is a democratic outrage.

I am proud to announce local businesswoman Rebecca Shepherd as our Restore Britain candidate for the Makerfield constituency. Rebecca has spent most of her adult life living and working in the Wigan borough, where she has built and run her own small business. Through that experience, she understands first-hand the pressures facing local businesses and working people across the community. Like so many residents, Rebecca has seen the growing impact of rising costs, increasing legislation, red tape, and bureaucracy, which continue to make everyday life more challenging for ordinary people trying to work hard, support their families, and stay afloat. Put simply - she understands what local men and women are going through. This is the type of person we need in politics. Not career politicians, but genuine people with real life experience. Rebecca is particularly passionate about improving SEND access and support across the local area. Her interest in SEND-friendly activities comes through the work she does within her Community Interest Company, where she has seen first-hand the importance of opportunities, practical support, and activities for people with additional needs. Rebecca is standing for Makerfield because she believes local people deserve honest representation, accountability, and someone prepared to fight for the interests of the community rather than their own political careers. I look forward to campaigning with Rebecca, and putting forward Restore Britain’s positive vision for the Makerfield constituency. Rupert Lowe, Restore Britain Leader Our local priorities: Safer streets for women and girls - tackling the gangs of foreign men who harass and intimidate local women and girls in Ashton, and elsewhere across the constituency and the Wigan Borough. Fight reckless overdevelopment in areas including South Hindley, and Winstanley - roads, dentists and GPs must come before responsible house building provided for local families. Improved SEND support for those in genuine need - we must avoid overdiagnosis, but also provide proper investment to those who need it. Including a constituency-wide investment programme for the improvement and maintenance of children’s playgrounds. Tackle anti-social behaviour in Ashton and elsewhere - no-nonsense, visible policing to crack down on criminal activity in our towns. Parents too must be held responsible for what their children are inflicting on the community. We say enough is enough. Restore our high streets - push for free car parking to drive footfall, abolish business rates to reinvigorate our town centres and deliver a full investigation into the explosion of vape shops and Turkish barbers for trading standards/immigration non-compliance. We are in this to win it.

The minister has admitted to me, finally, that the Home Office has a contract with 'Migrant Help' for the 'provision of asylum services'. 'Provision of advice, issue reoporting and Eligibility for asylum seekers who are accommodated under AASC.' The typo is from them, but don't worry - it's only a small contract so no need for that much care... The value of the contract? £235,000,000. That's right. £235,000,000. Think about how much money that actually is. Think about what the money could do for British communities. Not just that. A £16,000,000 contract for the 'support payment services to asylum seekers'. Security services for illegal migrants? £53,230,915.85. Translation and interpretation? £19,000,000. I could go on and on and on. They don't want you to see this information. ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Mass deportations, and abolishing the entire asylum system, would save us BILLIONS. I am determined to use my position in Parliament, and on the Public Accounts Committee, to reveal the truth about these contracts to the British people.

I have been forensically digging through these asylum contracts, and one stands out to me. It is absolutely staggering. Please read on. £1,593,535,200 for 'Provision of Bridging Accommodation and Travel Services’ awarded to ‘Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited’. According to the official record, they’re based in Bradford… Let’s dive into it. It’s related to the Bibby Stockholm, housing illegal migrants on a barge off the coast of Dorset. Bradford is certainly a strange place to base such an enormous contract. What is all of that money, OUR money, being spent on? All this information is taken from official documents, labelled ‘sensitive’. The illegals must be provided with a ‘varied daily menu’, taking into account all religious needs. If the illegal arrives late and missed the evening meal? They must be provided with a ‘light snack’. What about cleaning? A ‘cleaning programme’ must be delivered to the standards set by the ‘British Institute of Cleaning Science’. Routine cleaning must be provided, and their cabins are cleaned on a ‘twice weekly basis’. A ‘house-keeping laundry service’ is included, with a maximum '48-hour turn around’' Information on the local area is provided - including amenities and facilities. Illegals are assisted to make contact with a local GP surgery and dentist - they are assisted to do this. The illegals are to be taken and returned from medical appointments. A ‘programme of organised recreational activities' are provided, seven days a week. Activities available ‘morning, after, and evening each day’. Full Wi-Fi coverage is required, with a bank of mobile phones available '24/7'. Transport requests will be taken at short notice, all day every day. The transport must be ‘punctual’. ‘Adequate transport links’ must be provided to assist the illegals into the local area - and booking of transport services must be delivered for those ‘who wish to travel beyond the local area’. Warnings against ‘unconscious bias’ are made, and it’s adamant that ‘the interests of the Service Users are best served.’ It goes on and on and on. Are you happy that your tax is being spent on these services for illegals? For transport? Recreational activities? Shipping them into local communities to roam the streets? One of these illegal migrants was sentenced for sexually assaulting a teenage girl on a beach. There will be many, many, many others. 'Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited', based in Bradford, received this astronomical contract. A strange company name for such a service. What was the procurement process? How was this decided? I have put these questions to the Home Office, and I am demanding answers. The Bradford firm was told on the 24th of February 2023 that they had been awarded this £1.5 billion contract, excluding VAT (with an extension option.) Who was the Home Secretary at this time? Reform’s Suella Braverman. Who was the immigration minister at this time? Reform’s Robert Jenrick. They were the ministers, they were responsible. I want to know exactly why these outrageous contracts were signed off. It is scandalous. SO much more information on these contracts is redacted. I am going to find it... We should not be caring for these illegals, we should not be housing them, we should not be accommodating them. We should be deporting them. On an industrial scale. They are treated better than British citizens. FAR better. It makes me sick. The amount of OUR money that has been spent on these third world criminals by politicians (Reform, Conservative and Labour) is the biggest scandal of our time.

Error. Restore Britain's position on 'asylum seekers' is clear. NOT. ONE. MORE.

Let’s take a look at just some Restore Britain policies, and you tell me if these make us nazi monsters… - The largest deportation programme ever seen in Britain to remove those migrants living in our country illegally. The entire asylum system will be abolished. The boats will stop. - Net negative immigration. Far more must leave than arrive. - If a foreign national can’t speak English, lives in social housing, claims benefits, doesn’t work, hates our way of life - they go too. If millions go, millions go. - Close entire visa routes from countries proven to supply us with illegals, criminals and sex pests. The immigration ‘Red List’. We will discriminate. - Fairer spouse visas - so that British men and women can bring their spouses to Britain without the endless bureaucracy and cost currently inflicted on them. - An overhaul of British agriculture that puts growing and farming at the heart of any policy for rural Britain. Food security is national security. Slash red tape, simplify payments, ease planning laws, encourage farm diversification and more. Crucially, help youngsters into agriculture. We will ensure a level playing field for British farmers. - Restore Britain will force the British public sector will buy British - it will support British farmers, producers and small businesses. - We will encourage and fund youngsters to take up apprenticeships and learn a proper skill instead of some bullshit university degree. Teach children at school the life skills they will actually need in modern Britain. - An education system that teaches, respects and celebrates British history and the triumphant contribution our little island has made to the world. - Businesses freed from crushing regulation, red tape and tax. Reward hard work. Let entrepreneurs enjoy their success. - Lowest corporation tax in Europe. IR35 scrapped. VAT threshold doubled. HMRC brutally slashed back. Dividend thresholds raised. - High streets restored. Safe, secure and welcoming. Business rates for small businesses abolished. Turkish barbers, vape shops and other suspicious businesses investigated. Graffiti cleaned, litter picked. Pavements fixed. We will make Britain clean again, and we will take pride in our communities again. - We will implement free parking in select areas to drive back footfall from the retail parks and back into our town centres. Councils will be forced to accept common sense. - Fly-tippers will be crushed under the law. It will not be tolerated. Foreigners indulging in the destruction of our countryside will be deported. - Personal tax slashed. Trust families to spend their money, not the bureaucrats. - Put pro-family policy at the heart of everything we do. If British families want to have more children, let’s use the power of the state to enable that. Make childcare more accessible and more affordable. - Reform family courts - so that good, decent fathers, and mothers, are not kept away from their children for malicious reasons. This is important. - Trust parents to make the best decisions for their families. A limited number of days for a term-time holiday for well-developed children. This is just common sense. - Restore Britain will make Britain safe again. No-nonsense policing that does what it needs to do. Widespread stop and search back - accusations of racism will stop nothing. Brutal sentences for carrying a knife. Foreign criminals deported, third world sex pests removed before their feet can touch the ground. - Welfare radically slashed back. Those who can work, will work. Litter picking, graffiti cleaning, whatever else. Don’t like it? No benefits. That simple. - Support those Brits who genuinely need the help, particularly children, but under a Restore Britain Government the piss-take will end. - A foreign policy that puts the British interest above all else - proudly and unapologetically. We won’t participate in never-ending foreign wars. We will act when, and only when, the British interest is served. - Rebuild and rearm Britain. We will have a big stick, and we will wave it when we want. - A comprehensive support system for British veterans - including fast tracked recruitment into immigration enforcement field roles. - Arbitrary foreign aid targets that serve no British interests, gone. - Restore Britain will reverse the creeping islamification of Britain - no burqas, sharia courts, halal slaughter and so on. Cousin marriage will be banned. If you want to sleep with your family, this is not the country for you. This is Britain, we do things our way. - Anti-white racism, eradicated. No more DEI. The woke bullshit will end. - Self-defence rights restored. If an intruder tries to kill you in your home, and they end up dead? So be it. That’s their problem. Pepper spray legalised. - End the war on motorists. Cut fuel duty, no more 20mph zones. Sort out our decaying road network. - Biological reality respected. Men are men. Women are women. No amount of surgery will ever change that. - Inheritance tax abolished - for farms, for small businesses, for everyone. The scam will end. Death will no longer be taxed under a Restore Britain Government. - An infrastructure first housing policy. Developers forced to fund proper infrastructure before a shovel goes in the ground. British homes for British families. - A Government that prioritises building roads, bridges and projects HERE in Britain. Can you even imagine it?! - We will purse a British first energy strategy. Net zero will be scrapped. Domestic energy production will be ruthlessly prioritised. - End the lockdown legacy. Inquiry into COVID vaccine harms, lockdown convictions quashed, a truly independent look at how that was all allowed to happen. - No Digital ID, ever. Repeal the Online Safety Act. Protect free speech. - Defund the rotten BBC. Make it a subscription service and let it wither on the vine. - A binding referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty for the most evil criminals. One of my favourites. - A national strategy, working from the findings of the rape gang inquiry, to ruthlessly tackle and decapitate the national crime network of primarily Pakistani muslim sexual slavery, torture and murder. - Restore Britain will end political Islam. Abolish postal voting except for those in genuine need. Remove voting rights for foreign nationals. - Foreign language translation ended, in the NHS and beyond. You live in England, you speak English. - The NHS will be restored as the NATIONAL health service. Serving British people as its first and only priority. It will accept ultra-high skilled migrants to work, it will not support millions of low-skilled migrants who contribute nothing, yet take so much. - Free car parking for NHS staff, patients and visitors on tight permits. We all pay for the NHS, we shouldn’t be ripped off for the sodding parking too. Especially medical staff. - Medical school caps will be demolished. We will allow talented young British men and women to train in medicine - the NHS will then be forced to employ them over foreign staff. We will prioritise our own people. - Reclaim our fisheries - take back our seas and take back our fish. We will take back control. Finally. - The quangocracy will end. Power will be returned to the people through their MPs. Parliament will be empowered. - Restore Britain will crush the parasitic state. It will all be hacked back in the most spectacular fashion. Unlike anything Britain has seen before. I cannot wait. A Restore Britain Government will protect our people, protect our interests, protect our borders. We will leave you alone to build a business, work hard, raise a family and enjoy your success in a safe and secure Britain. Finally, a political party that will put the British people first. Restore Britain.

I want to clarify a really important point I do not believe that Britain is ‘broken’. Restore Britain does not believe that Britain is 'broken'. That’s a lazy, boring, pessimistic, defeatist way of looking at our country - it fundamentally misunderstands where the real problem lies. It's a shitty little soundbite that downplays who we are and what we can do. Britain is not broken. Our people are not broken, our attitude is not broken, our history is not broken, our culture is not broken. Not yet. Soon, but not yet. What is broken is the British state. The bloated, the rotten, the corrupt British state. That is an entirely different problem. Travel around this country and you will find decent, hardworking, generous people. Funny people. Good people. Patriotic people. You will find people doing the right thing every single day. Trying their best to make their way in life. They are not broken - they are more determined than ever. The strength of this country has always been its people. It is certainly NOT the machinery that governs them. A political class addicted to short-term thinking, a state that expands endlessly but delivers less and less. THAT is broken. Not the people, but those governing them. None of this is failure of our people. We have voted against it all, again and again. We have been betrayed, we have been let down. Each and every time. Britain remains the most remarkable nation on earth. We have talent. We have resilience. We have humour. We have fight. What we lack is a state that matches the courage of its people. As a political party, that is what Restore Britain believes. We are optimistic about what can be done, what will be done. We believe that there is still time. It is not too late to Restore Britain. Just. I hope you will consider supporting us in that mission.
