It’s very easy for politicians to send other people’s children to war. My response to the bloodthirsty elite? You first.

Thirteen Restore Britain action days taking place this weekend for local council by-elections, with plenty more activity ongoing across the country. This is a team effort - a huge thanks to everyone involved.

This is important - the latest huge MRP poll has Restore Britain ahead in more Scottish constituencies than both Reform or the Tories. Restore Britain - 21 Conservatives - 13 Reform - 12 Tie - 11 Edinburgh, Glasgow, Motherwell, Midlothian, Dunfermline, Renfrewshire, Rutherglen, Inverclyde, Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy, Coatbridge and Bellshill and more. Incredible progress. We have the second largest party membership in Scotland, and are now polling ahead of both the Tories and Reform in terms of seat performance. This is remarkable. Restore Britain is now the second largest party in Scotland, and the largest party on the right - bigger than both Reform and the Tories. Scottish patriots finally have a genuine alternative.

Britain's national debt has just hit £3 TRILLION. My generation is leaving our children and grandchildren an inheritance of debt and decline - we have spent their money before they have even earned it. The time for yet more cowardice is over. Brutal honesty is now required. Difficult decisions lie ahead. There will be no painless solutions. Anyone promising otherwise is not being straight with the British public. We are on the road to total economic collapse - it will be utterly catastrophic. Deep spending cuts, fundamental reform of the state and a return to financial discipline are all absolutely necessary. Every department must justify its spending. Every politician must confront the reality that we simply cannot afford everything. Every penny must go further. The longer we delay, the more painful these decisions become. Our children and our grandchildren are going to spend decades paying for our failures. What a shameful legacy that is.

Political parties on our side of politics are all too desperate to appeal to my generation, and entirely ignore the needs of anyone under 50. Why? Because they don’t vote in the same numbers. Restore Britain will not do that - as we’ve demonstrated. Our plan to replace the triple lock will restore some generational fairness, it probably won’t win us many votes. But we are going to make that argument regardless. Replacing the triple lock, abolishing interest on student loans, hiking tax thresholds, scrapping stamp duty, overhauling the childcare system, enabling entrepreneurs to grow their business with no corporation tax, ending school holiday fines, slashing regulation to get the state out of their way, cutting VAT/tax on all parts of their life - I could go on and on. Our plan is coming together. We are going to continue making our pitch to young working men and women who are trying to find their way in modern Britain. Restore Britain will give them a genuine alternative at the ballot box.
