Reform Manifesto

 I Leave the European Convention of Human Rights. British laws and judges must never be overruled by a foreign court. 

ii Mass immigration on the current scale is unsustainable. Cheap labour makes it almost impossible for British workers to compete and live. Reform will stop this flow of economic migrants unless they bring a valued skill that could aid the UK economy. 

iii The healthcare service in the UK needs reform and lessons could be learned by studying continental models. 

iv The Foreign Aid budget should be reduced by 50% and concentrated where it is most needed. 

V 

Carbon Net Zero is impossible without severe hardship for the people of the UK. Nuclear power stations must be built but in the meantime shale gas extraction should be implemented. Local people whose lives are affected will be offered reduced rates on their energy bills. 

vi Defence spending needs to be increased to 3% of GDP. 

vii More prisons are needed to cope with the huge expansion of the population, and we must have a police force, rather than a police service. 

viii Education must be de-politicised and transgender ideology, along with critical race theory, banned in schools. 

ix The Windsor Framework will be abandoned as it cuts Northern Ireland off from the rest of the UK. 

X 

Farmers need to be supported more to grow food. If the UK is happy to import Canadian wood chip to run power stations, it is hypocritical to subsidise the diversion of good farmland for use in climate related schemes. Likewise, the fishing industry need the UK waters protected from foreign boats. French and other vessels can apply for licences if they wish. 

xi Excessive Quantitative Easing over recent years has fuelled inflation. But repayment to balance the books should not include paying interest. 

xii Lift the basic rate of income tax to £20,000 and reduce Corporation Tax to 20%. No Stamp Duty below £750,000 and abolish IHT on estates valued under £2 million.

Labour and the EU

 Matthew Lesh, Director of Public Policy and Communications at the Institute of Economic Affairs, said:

“This Labour manifesto commitment is a big deal for the future trajectory of UK-EU relations. It is difficult to imagine the UK getting a veterinary agreement with the EU without a commitment to ‘dynamic alignment’ with the EU’s regulations on animal health, food safety, and plants. This would turn the UK into a rule-taker, limiting our ability to embrace new technologies and sign trade deals. It would be handing significant powers back to the EU, with the UK expected to adopt rules and decisions without any input from Parliament.”

Puts a Whole Different Complexion on History

 Well worth a read, even if you don't look further.

Britain began industrializing in the 17th century—more than 100 years earlier than history books claim

"Britain was already well on its way to an industrialized economy under the reign of the Stuarts in the 17th century—over 100 years before textbooks mark the start of the Industrial Revolution—according to the most detailed occupational history of a nation ever constructed."
