Labour doesn’t speak for working people anymore

When we voted to leave the EU, Labour actively fought to discard the result they didn’t like and re-run the referendum in a gross betrayal of democracy.

Labour believes that white people must apologise for their “white privilege”, men can be women and women can be men if they just say so, and you’re a bigot if you think otherwise.

It is not unreasonable to expect our borders and our laws to be respected, and for migrants to avoid criminal people smugglers. Labour disagrees and will attack you for raising the issue.

Labour’s divisive politics today is based on a loathing of anyone with wealth. We do not need to villinaise the successful in order to help the poor.

Grammar schools enable academically bright kids from poor families to climb. Labour’s policy however, ‘if everyone cannot have something, no one can‘, is just plain spitefulness.

We can be open or strict towards immigration, but unlimited mass immigration has consequences for everyone. Labour won’t debate the issue, just call people names instead.

While the politicians are trapped by the referendum result, most of them would prefer we re-joined the EU as soon as possible.

We believe the United Kingdom must  forever remain a free, independent and democratically self-governing country in full control of its own laws and its own future.

We will introduce a radical new school system and grant poorer kids greater access to private schools.

Schools will receive funding from the spending of parent-issued vouchers and will thus compete more directly with all other schools and become more incentivised to improve their offering.

Replacing an overly-complex and stressful benefits system, we will simplify welfare and guarantee a minimum income.

A Negative Income Tax replaces Universal Credit and purpose-specific benefits with a simple credit paid directly to the individual, gradually withdrawn the more job income earned, leaving the recipient free to choose how it is spent.

We will abolish this last century television poll tax.

The BBC will be moved to a  private subscription model. Those who wish to consume the BBC will be free to subscribe and fund the BBC. Those that do not will not be forced to do the same.

No one has the right not to be offended.

While left-wing intolerance of free speech is rife in universities and company HR departments, we will protect the free flow of peaceful information, ideas and opinions – offensive or not.

Land value increases over time because of investment by the local community. This should be taxed and paid back to the community as society’s principal tax.

No more Income Tax, Council Tax, Corporation Tax, etc. What you earn through your labour and productivity is yours to keep.

Politicians have no moral right to tell parents what sort of education their child may or may not benefit from.

We will repeal the rules that currently prevent the establishment of new grammar schools.

We will devolve major powers such as health, education, housing, policing and criminal justice down to counties and metropolitan areas.

One size does not fit all. Major decisions ought to be tailored to local communities and residents better able to hold decision-makers, spending their money, to account.

We must minimise misguided government command and control, and eliminate huge unnecessary costs for millions of businesses and the unfair disadvantage for small business.

A sunset clause must be applied to all EU-originated regulation that leads to their expiry, unless they can be reasoned and justified afresh.

Never again will a majority of short-stay politicians be legally permitted to transform our national constitution without the people’s consent first. 

Parliament has no right to transfer sovereignty for example to global institutions like the European Union unless instructed to do so by the people.

There is no more effective way to reduce the cost of vital goods and services for everyone, including the poorest, than to cut tariffs and other restrictions on international trade.

We will unilaterally cut tariffs and pursue trade deals that would reduce trade barriers on both sides.
