Put Pro-family Policy at the Heart of Everything We Do.

If British families want to have more children, we will not hesitate to use the power of the state to enable that, not least by making childcare more accessible and more affordable.

A limited number of days for a term-time holiday for well-developed children. In the main, we would trust parents to make the best decisions for their families.

Reform family courts, so that good fathers and mothers are not kept away from their children for malicious reasons.

Restore our Town Centres.

Business rates for small businesses abolished. Turkish barbers, vape shops, and other suspicious businesses investigated. Graffiti cleaned, litter picked. Pavements fixed. Free parking in select areas to drive back footfall from retail car parks and back into our town centres

We will make Britain clean again, and we will take pride in our communities again.

Defund the Rotten BBC.

Make it a subscription service and let it wither on the vine.

Repeal the Assisted Dying Bill and Reverse Recent Changes Made to Decriminalise Abortion up to Birth.

Assisted dying and abortion up to birth are symptoms of a society that has given up on itself.

Both target the most vulnerable demographics in our society - the sick, the elderly, and the unborn.

Restore Britain would repeal the assisted dying bill and reverse the changes that permit abortion up to birth.

Churches to Receive Equal Access to Security and Safeguarding Support Where Justified by Evidence.

Recognising that Britain’s churches are not only places of worship but central pillars of our national heritage, we would create a National Churches & Christian Heritage Restoration Fund.

This fund would preserve historic church buildings, protect architectural landmarks, and support rural and urban communities that rely on them as cultural anchors.

We would also pass targeted planning legislation, designed to prevent disused churches from being turned into mosques or otherwise dishonoured.

A Restore Britain government would strengthen the teaching of our Christian heritage within national curriculum history modules.

British Christians now have a political party that represents their views and stands ready to act on them. We are an historically Christian country, guided by Christian morality.

A Restore Britain government would honour those moral traditions.

We would do this not for the purposes of religious instruction so much as historical literacy.

The influence of Christianity on Britain’s legal system, literature, art, culture, architecture, and institutions is foundational to understanding our national story.

Ban the Burqa.

Both the burqa and the niqab are fundamentally un-British and have no place on our high streets.

Countries across Europe, including France, Belgium, and Austria, have already banned the burqa.

The dignity of women and girls must not be sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism.

An overwhelming majority of Britons back a ban.

A Restore Britain government would reverse the Islamisation of Britain.

Ban Halal and Kosher Slaughter.

Slitting an animal’s throat and letting it bleed to death in the most unimaginable pain is morally repugnant.

We must not bend our standards to accommodate cruel religious practices that would otherwise be unlawful.

If a British farmer treated an animal in this way, he would be prosecuted. There must be one rule for all, with no religious exemptions.

Sex is Biological.

Biological sex is not a social construct. It is a fixed trait, determined by genetics and encoded in every cell of the human body.

Men and women are morally equal, but not physically identical. These differences must be acknowledged, respected, and allowed to inform law-making.

Men must not be permitted to enter women-only spaces, including lavatories, prisons, and sporting contests. Anything less puts women and girls at risk.

Objective truth, not ideology, must guide governance.

In view of these principles, the Gender Recognition Act must be repealed. The state must no longer issue legal documents that permit individuals to change their sex in law. Biological sex will be recognised as immutable and recorded accordingly.

The stated diagnosis

The problem as the party frames it.

The paper's framing is that society has “given up on itself”, that multiculturalism threatens British values, and that religious accommodations create double standards.

Several proposals here would engage protected rights — religious freedom under Article 9 of the ECHR, and existing equality law — which is why reading the current statutes matters as much as reading the paper.

How to test this position

  1. 1
    List the statutes

    The Gender Recognition Act 2004, the Equality Act 2010 and the BBC's Royal Charter each have their own amendment or renewal process. Which does the paper actually address?

  2. 2
    Read the rights framework

    Dress bans and slaughter prohibitions have been litigated elsewhere in Europe. What does the case law say about how such measures fare?

  3. 3
    Price the pledges

    Childcare subsidy and business-rates abolition are large fiscal commitments. Are they costed?

  4. 4
    Track the record

    Compare with Mr Lowe's Commons votes on assisted dying, family policy and equality legislation.
