It is crucial to confront the reality of our situation.

After 15 years of Conservative and Labour governance, Britain finds itself in a dire economic state that many are reluctant to acknowledge.

The recent budget proposed by Rachel Reeves is likely to exacerbate these issues.

Reform UK intends to take a different approach.

Our focus will be on supporting businesses, particularly small enterprises.

We aim to stimulate economic growth by eliminating EU regulations, reducing excessive oversight, lowering energy expenses, and empowering businesses to thrive.

Our government will prioritize pro-business policies unlike any seen in recent history.

We will bring individuals with genuine economic knowledge into government roles.

Additionally, we will foster a cultural shift that values hard work and success.

However, Reform UK will also genuinely represent the working class.

We will advocate for the millions of diligent individuals who rise early each day and address the pressing cost-of-living crisis.

By abolishing Net Zero targets, we can reduce household energy bills.

Furthermore, by limiting mass immigration, we can facilitate access to affordable housing.

We plan to streamline the welfare system, which will allow us to increase the income tax threshold for workers.

Importantly, Reform UK will ensure that work is rewarded.

This transformation will not be straightforward.

Britain is facing significant challenges, both socially and financially.

We cannot rely on the same politicians who contributed to our current predicament to resolve these issues.

At the core of our challenges is a political class that lacks business acumen, with many members having never held a meaningful job.

Our leadership consists of human rights lawyers rather than entrepreneurs.

Nigel Farage asserts that Reform UK will be the authentic voice of the working population, defending the interests of those who rise with the alarm clock each morning.

Farage highlights the urgent need for Britain to address its overwhelming debt.

There exists a stark disconnect between the political and media elite in Westminster and the reality of everyday life for the average citizen.

We have ministers overseeing departments and making decisions in areas where they possess little or no expertise.

The sole qualification for many ministers seems to be their standing with the Prime Minister, leading to frequent reshuffling at the PM’s discretion.

For instance, Britain has seen 18 rail ministers in just 14 years, and we wonder why our rail system is failing.

It is time for a pro-business Reform government to introduce private-sector expertise.

We will appoint ministers who have a thorough understanding of their respective responsibilities.

Reform UK believes in the need for innovation, energy, and a willingness to take risks.

To achieve this, we must enlist the right individuals.

Currently, many talented professionals are leaving the UK, not just wealthy non-domiciled individuals, but also countless ambitious young people seeking better career prospects abroad.

The socialist ideology that promotes taxing the wealthy has permeated both the Labour and Conservative parties.

Their recent tax changes targeting non-doms are a misguided move.

High earners are essential for providing jobs and investments.

If the wealthy depart, those with lower incomes will face increased tax burdens—a simple reality that must be communicated.

We want as many successful individuals as possible to live and work in the UK, contributing their fair share.

To this end, we propose the Britannia Card, designed to attract people back to our shores.

Moreover, we must address the law and order crisis in London, an issue that Mayor Sadiq Khan appears to neglect.

Reform UK will put an end to the brain drain and wealth drain, making the UK an appealing destination for investment, work, and residence.

Britain needs to re-establish its industrial base across various sectors, including cement production, chemicals, steel, data centers, and crypto mining.

Energy is the linchpin for all these industries.

We have inadvertently created the most expensive industrial energy in the world—four times higher than our American competitors and double that of our French counterparts.

This situation is a result of the reckless pursuit of Net Zero by both Conservative and Labour administrations.

Reform UK will terminate Net Zero subsidies.

We will explore our gas and oil reserves and eliminate excessive North Sea taxes to achieve energy self-sufficiency as swiftly as possible.

In the long term, we are firm believers in nuclear energy.

However, we must not allow our current inept politicians to manage it.

The failures at the Sizewell and Hinkley Point nuclear plants serve as cautionary tales.

South Korea produces nuclear energy at a fraction of our costs.

We will leverage their expertise and private investments to ensure that Britain has a reliable nuclear power supply.

Our welfare system has become an enormous burden on the working population, with an annual cost exceeding £300 billion, surpassing the combined expenses of the NHS and defense.

In my 25 years in politics, I have observed that governments primarily heed the concerns of large corporations.

These entities often host lavish dinners and provide premium seating at events like Wimbledon or Wembley.

Many of these large businesses are not even British but multinational corporations.

There exists another sector that is often overlooked: small businesses.

These enterprises are the true engines of growth in the UK economy, accounting for 60 percent of private sector employment.

Despite facing numerous taxes and regulations imposed by the government, there are 5.

6 million small business owners bravely pursuing their endeavors.

These individuals feel marginalized, yet their contributions are indispensable.

Reform UK will champion the interests of small businesses and support those willing to take risks.

The burden of our welfare system is unsustainable for the working population.

The annual welfare expenditure exceeds £300 billion, which is more than the combined costs of the NHS and defense.

There is a misconception that Reform UK intends to provide handouts indiscriminately.

This misunderstanding arose from my announcement regarding the two-child cap on benefits.

I clarified that we will offer tax credits to British couples who work, encouraging them to remain employed and consider having more children.

This policy is pro-family and low-cost.

We have exposed a looming scandal regarding Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Due to the influx of legal immigration, a million or more foreign nationals will soon be eligible for lifetime benefits and can bring their dependents.

Some estimates suggest that this group could cost the nation £200 billion.

Only Reform UK will abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain, saving billions in the process.

We cannot allow the consequences of the Boriswave to bankrupt our country.

We have already outlined plans to reassess all individuals receiving disability benefits, potentially reducing payments by up to £9 billion annually, while ensuring that young people facing anxiety are not left without support.

Furthermore, we will insist that welfare benefits are reserved for British citizens, helping us reduce the size of the bloated public sector.

While we aim to lower taxes, we recognize that this can only occur once we have regained control over the deficit.

We will approach this matter with maturity and prudence, avoiding the over-promising typical of the old parties.

It seems that Rachel Reeves will soon attribute her forthcoming challenges to Brexit.

However, both Labour and the Conservatives have squandered the opportunities presented by Brexit to enhance competitiveness.

The harsh reality is that, in sectors ranging from finance to fishing, regulations and oversight have worsened since 2016.

There is a fundamental misperception in our political discourse.

We are led to believe that one must choose between supporting businesses or advocating for workers.

This notion is fundamentally flawed.

My party represents alarm-clock Britain.

I remain optimistic about the future of our great nation.

Let us unite and work towards repairing broken Britain.
