The Repair Blighty Manifesto

 
Tax and personal finance

• Scrap national insurance

Simplify tax by raising income tax to cover for the disparity.

• Maintain the current tax free allowance of ₤12,570

Raising this makes the tax structure more progressive than it needs to be. Tax cuts should instead come in the form of lowering the base rate.

• ₤30,000 Non-student loans

For those who choose not to go to university, they will be able to apply for a similar government backed loan of ₤30,000 with the same repayment structure. They can do whatever they want with this money. They should not be discriminated or treated differently to regular student loans.

• Scrap stamp duty on homes worth up to ₤800,000

No more tax on aspiration of working people.

 
Pensions

• Freeze the private pension age at 57

Decoupling it from any future increase in State pension age. Retirees should have the freedom to take their pensions if they can afford to do so.

• Split the state pension age between semi and full retirement

Half pensions should kick in at age 65 to allow partial retirement to support a part time way of working, and full pensions should start at age 70.

• Oppose means testing public pensions

This is a backdoor taxing of private pensions. It will punish people who have worked hard and saved for retirement on their own merit. If you target specifically wealthy people, we will be saving a paltry amount of money which isn't worth the hassle.

 
Housing

• End the 2x council tax penalty on second homes worth less than ₤275,000

Third homes may continue the tax.

• Roll back the reforms and taxes applying to HMOs

Retain the reforms and landlord related taxes to single family homes.

 
Governance

• Stay out of the European Union

Negotiate a new travel and working arrangement with the EU.

• Preferential immigration system with EU, Canada, New Zealand, Australia

But only if recipricol deals can be put in place.

• Extend ILR threshold to 10 years.

Immidiate ILR can be granted if someone can prove British ancestry and have no criminal record.

 
Environment

• Remove ZEV mandate

Incentivise EVs for regular commuters for whom they may be beneficial, but don't force them upon people who may need ICE engines.

• Prioritise small modular nuclear reactors

We need reliable, independent energy generation that doesn't require vast amounts of land, of which we have limited supply. Nuclear energy has an unbeatable kWh/SqM. That land that would have otherwise been used for solar panels should be earmarked for reforestation where economically viable.

• No new religious buildings to be built in national parks or AONB

No new megamosque in the lake district.

 
Human rights

• Defend membership of the ECHR

Prevent short sighted right wing lunatics from handing new powers to two tier keir's anti-white regime, and ushering in the era of guilty-until-proven-innocent false rape accusations.

 
Other

• Introduction of the ₤180 and ₤60 note

A quadrennial darts competition will be held to decide who's face is printed on the ₤180 banknote.

The ₤50 will be scrapped.
