Amen Rupert Lowe !

[WILF 52,298]

Statement from Rupert Lowe:

How would a Restore Britain Government support small businesses? First step, and possibly the most important. We understand the problems and trust me, I know how difficult it is. I’ve been there, I’ve done it. The effort that goes into keeping a small firm profitable and operational is vast, and NOBODY in Government understands that.

THE most important way to help small businesses is tax.
 
GET IT DOWN. Corporation tax - we should be aiming for the lowest in Europe. Undercut our neighbours, take their business. Be ruthless. Make Britain the most attractive place to operate on the continent. Watch how the money then flows in.

Rates will slashed on income and dividend, thresholds pushed up. We must urgently reward success. NI not raised, but cut. If we want businesses to hire, MAKE IT CHEAPER.

Because what happens when employment gets more expensive?

Costs get passed on. Contracts stall. Hiring cancelled. Investment is paused. It grinds the economy to a halt. Businesses stop spending money. They wait and see.

Everyone suffers.

IR35 will go in the bin on day one. Things change, contracts change, circumstances change. IR35 accounts for none of that, adding layers of unnecessary paperwork and regulation. Flexibility matters.

VAT threshold would be doubled. There are so many businesses hovering just under £90k, desperately avoiding VAT. Fair enough, I don’t blame them. So let’s hike the threshold and unleash that demand. We would like to see a tax holiday for small businesses in the first few years - give them the breathing space they need to grow and find their feet.

HMRC will pick up the phone, and you will be able to speak to an advisor who can actually speak fluent English. What a mad shock that would be...

We will end the HR-ification of Britain that is used to blackmail employers. Regulatory frameworks that are used to suffocate small businesses will be burnt away.

Farage attacks private sector employees working from home. I couldn’t give a shit where people choose to work. If the employer and employee are happy, then it’s none of our business.

Failing public sector officials? Different story.

Business rates for small businesses, abolished. We will brutally crack down on illicit trading - does Britain need so many Turkish barbers and vape shops? The answer, quite obviously, is no. Let’s be honest about what’s really often going on here. Money laundering.

There would be free car parking in high streets all over Britain. These little gnomes in councils have no idea. If parking is free at the retail parks, people will just go there. Let’s encourage them back into our high streets - that means tackling crime too, obviously, but one step a time here...

Licensing laws, planning bureaucracy, council red tape.

We will obliterate it all.

Let’s back British hospitality. Cut VAT, business rates abolished and burn back the endless nonsense they have to deal with. Ease laws on closing times and fast-track permits for outdoor seating. If people want to enjoy a late night drink or two, it's none of our business to tell them otherwise.

Restore Britain will put those jumped-up little council b*****ds back in their box. I promise you that.

Inheritance tax will be abolished. If a family wants to pass their business down the generations, then Government must not stand in the way. Tax has been paid, there should not be another bill following a death. It’s wicked and cruel.

Above all else - businesses need stable, long term thinking. The Budget should be a complete non-event, other than further tax cuts.

This can all be funded by brutalising down the fraudulent state that has become the enemy of the people.

And let me tell you this. ANYBODY who gets business will understand that these measures will pay for themselves many times over. If we reward hard work, then we’ll get more of it. More tax will be paid, and the economy will boom.

These are just my initial thoughts on what a Restore Britain Government would do.

We would create an environment in which it's easy to do business, and then we would leave you the hell alone.

The message is this to small business owners...

Restore Britain is on your side.

You finally have a political party that will fight for your interests.

Talks easy when you don’t have to deliver, so how many mps does he have and were will you stand when disgruntled Tory and reform mps jump onboard further down the road as will have to happen if he’s going to offer a comprehensive panel of politicians to form a real government as ive said at this stage he’s just a distraction until he starts winning bye elections etc

They have clearly stated they won’t be taking any politicians.

They are actively looking to recruit from outside Westminster and outside politics mate.

That's what they have said.

As we know, the proof of pudding is in the eating so we shall see but he has put it out there in black and white and as such he can be judged on it. 
 

As an aside, I absolutely don’t buy this myth that “you need MPs with experience” …….experience of what ?, f***ing the whole gaff up ? No thanks ! lol 

And also, what were they doing before they became an MP ?, it not like they were moulded into it from the cradle ?……my old MP ran a print firm and the one before that worked for LACS, Angela Rainer used to wipe arses, many were straight out of uni on a politics degree, then a local council mong (look at some meeting in you tube, they are all pricks !)…….like, what is this mythical experience ?…..if this is what “experience” gets you I think we could all do without it pal don’t you ? lol 

Edited to add:

The current MP in my old area was elected on a reform ticket, he is a really good lad by all accounts and Works hard for the area, Reform chucked him out because like every single builder and small business owner in the U.K. he got a covid loan for a couple of business then went skint…..big f***ing deal, him and a gazillion others ! 
Reform obviously don’t want ordinary lads like that, they prefer Nadine Dorries instead !

he has stated that he won't take failed Ministers or people tainted by their past, but he will also have to have people that know how the system works in Westminster which is a pit of vipers

Thanks mate, I stand corrected.

I still don’t buy this myth that “Experince of Westminster” is needed but that’s just an opinion…..we have all been in the real world, remember that old bloke on a job telling everyone he has been doing it 30 year and we can all see he is a wanker ?……yeah, he has been doing it 30 year and he has been f***ing it up for 30 year as well !

I just apply the same logic, that’s all.

I think reform will become seriously impeded , well done Lowe and farage , f****d it before it could even begin. How deluded we are, we'll end up with some sort of coalition cluster f**k and still the boats will come and everyone will blame one another, when all we needed was a right leaning party to sweep the board, and then you could add pressure, hold on a minute Asda have a great deal on for Ramadan.....

[Borr 8,984]

I reckon the only ones saying amen Rupert Lowe will be greens and labour, habib for fecks sake give off

Fair, except one thing….just remember, it was Farage and his Paki mate who chucked Lowe out….not the other way round.

I’ll say amen to anyone who obviously is talking sense mate, even Corbyn.

Nah lowe went in for the kill on farage based on a nod from musk, wrote a hit piece saying farage runs the party like a Messiah , and forced his own demise.

Well, let’s examine that statement because I think I asked the question yesterday…..what is Reform without Farage ?

Just be honest……

Because if we conclude that without him it’s nothing then Lowe wasn’t wrong was he ?

If Corbyn said tomorrow “we should get all big corporates out of our political system” then I’d agree, you may not agree, would that translate to a vote ?

No…..because he has history and I judge him by that……same as I judge all these ex Tory’s

I think Zia Yusuf is on the money, great speaker hard line, I think Anderson is good , happy to tell it as it is. I think the chairman can't think of his name is a crank, I like tice but not really gun ho but sensible. I think the mayoral lady is right leaning and has half a chance in London, if I could chose someone to join it would be the lady conservative that berates khan on the council on a weekly basis. They got a chance. I think the only leader pretty much was John smith of Rhodesia that didn't want the job amongst a group of farmers and managed to turn it into the fruit bowl of Africa . I don't think they're all great but I do feel you need a strong mandate to achieve anything and starmer is claiming that because nobody voted Tory last time, now we're gonna in fight before reform even went to the polls, it's laughable or cryable

Id like to untangle the financial sector from politics, but firstly I'd like to overhaul the Whitehall unelected civil servants , it's as simple as tasking HMRC to redesign dwp and the other left woke departments
