The Restore Brief

Programme map

Fourteen papers, one direction of travel.

Read across the list and the papers lock together. Borders and belonging set who may stay. Tax, energy and the City set how the smaller state is paid for. Policing and the home set who may use force. This page is a map of their published sequence, not a verdict on it.

  1. 1

    The law comes first

    Mass deportations is the statute: leave the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act, abolish asylum as it stands, and pass a Great Clarification Act. Later papers assume that Act is what makes detention and fast removal lawful.

  2. 2

    Then the machinery

    Coastal Command is the force at sea. The 30,000-place estate is the holding capacity for new arrivals, not a cell for everyone already here. The belonging statement is the wider aim: citizenship almost closed, and departures — legal and illegal — the party puts at more than five million in a parliament.

  3. 3

    The economy is the same argument

    The Wealth of Our Nation wants the state back near a third of GDP, with the savings spent on tax cuts. Inheritance tax, student-loan interest, City regulation and the Climate Change Act are the specific cuts. Cheap energy is treated as a condition of the tax plan, not a separate hobby.

  4. 4

    Order is domestic

    Policing and the English Castle papers are about who may use force, and under whose orders. The e-bike paper is the street-level version: identify the rider, licence the bike, let the public report it.

By theme

Borders

Stop illegal entry, detain new arrivals, and build a civilian force to hold the sea.

Belonging

Citizenship as a rare legal act; immigration cut hard; historic peoples treated as a demographic concern.

  • Citizenship becomes almost closed, except through marriage. Legal and illegal foreign nationals the party says do not belong would leave — “north of five million” in a parliament.

    Belonging · 13 pages · 8 proposals

Economy

A smaller state, large tax cuts, no inheritance tax, and a return of buyer-beware in the City.

  • Wipe past and future interest off student loans held by British nationals who live in the UK. The debt itself stays.

    Economy · 24 pages · 5 proposals

  • Abolish the FCA and PRA for anything that is not systemic, scrap the Ombudsman, and put “buyer beware” back at the centre of the City.

    Economy · 21 pages · 7 proposals

  • Cut the state back towards its 1997 size. Bank the savings. Spend them on tax cuts, not on new programmes.

    Economy · 64 pages · 7 proposals

  • Scrap inheritance tax entirely. The paper says it raises little, hits family farms, and can be covered by cutting spending it calls ideological.

    Economy · 10 pages · 4 proposals

Energy

Repeal the Climate Change Act, drill and build nuclear, and treat power as national infrastructure.

  • Repeal the Climate Change Act, produce more oil, gas, shale and nuclear, and judge success by cheap abundant kilowatt-hours.

    Energy · 42 pages · 8 proposals

Order

Impartial policing, a stronger right of self-defence, and licensed commercial e-bike riders.

  • Delivery e-bikes should be treated as commercial vehicles: trained, licensed, insured, identifiable, and open to public reports.

    Order · 20 pages · 7 proposals

  • A Police Restoration Act would put the Office of Constable back at the centre and strip out what the paper calls political doctrine.

    Order · 140 pages · 8 proposals

  • Five legal changes to make self-defence easier: legal pepper spray, a householder amendment, jury trial preserved, and a brake on prosecutions.

    Order · 38 pages · 5 proposals

Community

Keep the pub open and let parents take a short family holiday in term time.

  • Give every pupil up to five days of parent-authorised term-time family leave a year, if attendance and progress still hold.

    Community · 9 pages · 4 proposals

  • A package the party says this government could pass now: lower hospitality VAT, rates relief, and a freeze on beer duty.
