Mission and Core Values
At Reform UK, we believe in common-sense policies and practical solutions. Our mission is to reimagine how the State operates, also creating a new social settlement fit for today and the coming decades. Here’s what we stand for:
Economic Reform
- Faster Growth: We prioritize faster economic growth as the key to better wages and increased tax revenues. Our bold vision frees over 6 million people from paying Income Tax and over 1.2 million small businesses also from paying Corporation Tax. Responsible tax reforms will drive growth beyond recent decades.
- Stop Wasting Taxpayer Money: We’re committed to efficient spending and also eliminating waste.
Energy Strategy Reform
- Affordable, Strategic Approach: While caring for the environment, we challenge the Westminster Net Zero plan. It’s making us all net poorer while outsourcing emissions overseas. Our energy plan taps into our own resources, creating jobs and also saving consumers money on energy bills.
- Nationalization and Consumer Protection: We propose nationalizing 50% of key utility companies to prevent consumer exploitation.
Public Sector Transformation
- Zero Waiting Lists: Ambitious public services mean zero waiting lists for healthcare. We have a bold plan to achieve this vision.
- Effective Policing: Our police should focus on preventing crime and also catching criminals.
- Quality Education: Schools must prepare our children for a competitive world.
Institutional Overhaul
- House of Lords: We challenge unelected cronyism and advocate for accountability.
- Also Civil Service: Transparency and efficiency are crucial.
- BBC: A leaner, more accountable public broadcaster is essential.
Let’s champion British pride, celebrate our heritage, and cut through the woke nonsense.
