Abolish the 'tooth tax': remove VAT on children's toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Abolish the 20% VAT on children's oral care products like toothbrushes and toothpaste. Make these essential items zero-rated for VAT (like children's clothing). With an estimated 4.3 million children in poverty, this could ease pressure on families and reduce NHS costs from preventable tooth decay.

Abolish the effective Tax rate of 60% on income between £100,000 and £125,140
We want the Government to abolish the effective Tax rate of 60% on income between £100,000 and £125,140, replacing it with a Tax band of 45% on income over £100,000 and removing the tapered withdrawal of Personal Allowance.
Abolish the Office of the Children’s Commissioner
We call on the government to dissolve the Office of the Children’s Commissioner. We think it is not independent enough from government and risks becoming politicised.
Remove VAT on all public utility bills
We believe VAT was never meant to be applied to life essentials and it was meant to be a BREXIT benefit. The UK has some of the highest electricity prices in Western Europe! We believe this is why so many citizens struggle whilst energy companies make huge profits, and why GDP is low.
Abolish inheritance tax
We believe inheritance tax destroys family wealth for future generations and destroys opportunities of further investment into the UK. We believe it is inhumane and incredibly unfair. Many people work all their lives to build wealth, only for it to be taxed by the Government.
Remove all tax reliefs granted to all religious groups
