Back Our Core Values
Support Marriage and the Family
Family breakdown has been estimated to cost the taxpayer around £48bn* per year. That is the required extra costs of tax credits, housing, health, social care, criminal justice and other consequences. We propose a grant of £12,000 to be given to a couple when they are first married, provided they go for at least 5 marriage preparation sessions where they will learn about building a resilient relationship, perseverance and effective communication, and £6,000 when their first child is born, also backed up with childcare training. No other party will address this issue.

Respect Life: Protect Unborn Children
Over 9 million unborn children in the UK have lost their lives as a result of the 1967 Abortion Act. We would legally protect the right to life of the most helpless and vulnerable in our society, including the unborn. We would divert the £200+ million of UK taxpayers’ money spent each year on funding abortion here and abroad onto supporting mothers in crisis pregnancy situations. We’ll also protect the sick and elderly against the growing threat of euthanasia.
Make Tax fair & Care for the Poor
We’d end the scandal of big multi-national companies (eg. Facebook, Google, Starbucks) sending their UK profits abroad in order to avoid paying their fair share of tax. By introducing a Turnover Tax (of 5%), offset against Corporation Tax, we’d address the disadvantage faced by British businesses. This would raise an estimated £32bn, which we’d use to halve commercial rates to revive our city centres (£11.5bn), pay for our family policies (£4bn) and restore the £12bn in Tory benefit cuts by properly funding Universal Credit. We would help everyone sleeping rough with a free night shelter, meal and the right support to get back into society.
Fight Crime
We will help people leaving prison, guaranteeing them good accommodation, support to get work and help to break any addictions. Christian charities like Saltbox in Stoke and the Message Trust in Manchester have got re-offending rates down to around 10% compared with a national average of around 30% but which can be as high as 62%. The result is 1) There will be many fewer victims. 2) There will be fewer people in court and in prison. 3) Ex prisoners will be happier. It costs around £38,000* per year to keep someone in prison so this is a win-win policy.

Brexit. Honour Democracy
The democratic will of the British people must be respected. That means we must honour the 2016 Referendum result and leave the European Union completely. We have faith in Britain’s ability to thrive as an independent nation with new international trade deals. We would also allow a referendum 5 to 10 years after we’ve left completely so the country can be brought back together when there is evidence of how we’ve performed outside the EU.
