Stop all overseas spending including foreign aid
The UK has a massive debt and we believe it is in decline, with a very high tax burden on its citizens. We think it is the duty of the UK government to put its citizens and the UK first and it is irresponsible to spend taxpayer's money on any overseas project.
Increase defence spending to 5.5% GDP by 2029
Increase the defence budget to 5.5% of GDP by 2029. Additionally, we want the Government to recreate the dissolved Admiralty and Air Ministry Departments.
End funding for military interventions overseas and spend taxes in the UK.
We demand the government end the use of taxpayers’ money to fund military interventions, or providing military support for conflicts abroad. We believe that our taxes should be spent on improving public services, supporting communities and addressing urgent domestic issues rather than war.
Increase the Personal Allowance to £16,000 and link it to inflation
We call on the Government to increase the Personal Allowance from £12,570 to £16,000 and automatically uprate it each year in line with inflation (CPI), so people on low and middle incomes don’t pay more tax in real terms when living costs rise.
Suspend all UK foreign aid to nations that refuse to take back illegal migrants
Publish a list of countries blocking citizen returns, suspend UK aid until compliance is met, make aid legally conditional on cooperation with UK immigration, report annually to Parliament, and detain illegal migrants until asylum or deportation for public safety.
