One transparent system, taxed at the margin.
Day 3 · Proposal 03 · 6 min read
A single progressive Income Tax structure with five marginal bands, designed to be read alongside the Universal Standard Income, the abolition of employee National Insurance and reform of the Personal Allowance.
Make it progressively cheaper to employ people — and give businesses room to invest, grow and hire.
Day 4 · Proposal 04 · 6 min read
Manifesto 1.0 proposes gradually reducing Employer National Insurance from 15% to 10% over ten years, to reduce the cost attached to employing people, strengthen the incentive to hire, and leave businesses with more capacity to invest in their staff and their future.
Keep Corporation Tax broadly stable first — then reduce it progressively where growth and the public finances permit.
Day 5 · Proposal 05 · 6 min read
A deliberately staged approach to Corporation Tax: broadly stable while the new economic settlement is established, then progressively reduced where growth and the public finances permit, as one part of a wider pro-investment programme.
Attract investment, jobs and long-term commitment to Britain.
Day 6 · Proposal 06 · 5 min read
Offer qualifying businesses relocating substantial economic activity to the United Kingdom 0% Corporation Tax for their first 24 months, in return for a genuine long-term commitment to UK investment, employment and economic activity.
A social-care safety net — not another NHS.
Day 7 · Proposal 07 · 6 min read
Create a National Care Service as a targeted safety net for people who cannot afford essential social care or end-of-life care, funded by a proposed 1% Care Levy on gross income.
Keep universal healthcare — change the model that delivers it.
Day 8 · Proposal 08 · 6 min read
Retain universal healthcare while reforming how it is financed and delivered: compulsory qualifying health insurance for every resident, regulated competition between providers, and government assistance so nobody is left without cover.
Historical record — Manifesto 1.0, withdrawn and revised on Day 10.
Day 9 · Proposal 09 · 12 min read
HISTORICAL RECORD (Manifesto 1.0). The original Day 09 proposal: one million new homes delivered entirely as social housing. This version has been withdrawn following public scrutiny and replaced by the Day 10 revised Proposal 09, which delivers one million homes through mixed tenure.
The ambition remains. The delivery model changes.
Day 10 · Proposal 09 · 10 min read
A ten-year national programme to enable one million additional homes through social, affordable, intermediate and private delivery — with public finance, conditional incentives and infrastructure planned together.
End Planning Paralysis
Day 11 · Proposal 10 · 3 min read
A national housing and infrastructure test, a continuing local planning role and a final central-government intervention power for repeatedly blocked nationally significant projects, with enforceable standards.
Slow and Restructure Net Zero
Day 12 · Proposal 11 · 3 min read
Keep Net Zero as a long-term ambition, while taking a slower, pragmatic and technology-neutral approach to the transition.
Expand Nuclear Power. Strengthen Britain's Energy Security.
Day 13 · Proposal 12 · 3 min read
Manifesto 1.1 proposes a substantial expansion of Britain's nuclear generation capacity, using both new large-scale nuclear power and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), alongside investment in nuclear research, grid resilience and fuel security.
Domestic Energy Security
Day 14 · Proposal 13 · 4 min read
Use Britain's domestic energy resources. Protect energy security during the transition.
Targeted support to make essential energy more affordable.

No daily charge simply for being connected.
Day 16 · Proposal 15 · 3 min read
Abolish domestic electricity and gas standing charges while allowing genuine network and administrative costs to be recovered fairly through unit pricing, with regulatory scrutiny to prevent excessive pricing, disguised standing charges and profiteering.
Fair investment. Transparent allocation. No community left behind.
Day 17 · Proposal 16 · 3 min read
A permanent national investment fund targeted towards communities facing deprivation, low productivity and infrastructure need, helping places that have too often been overlooked build the foundations for long-term economic growth.
Rebuilding Britain's defence capability for a more dangerous and uncertain world.
Day 18 · Proposal 17 · 3 min read
Proposal 17 would progressively increase defence spending to 5% of GDP within five years, rebuilding capability across nuclear deterrence, conventional forces, cyber resilience and personnel.
No one under 21 left behind.
Day 19 · Proposal 18 · 3 min read
Proposal 18 would require every young person to remain in education, approved training, employment, an apprenticeship or an 18–21 military route until age 21, with financial support or earnings attached to each route.
SERVICE. SKILLS. OPPORTUNITY.
Day 20 · Proposal 19 · 3 min read
Proposal 19 would create a voluntary three-year Armed Forces route for young people from age 18, offering salary, pension contributions, accommodation/support, military training, technical qualifications and transferable civilian skills.
STUDY. SKILLS. OPPORTUNITY.
Day 21 · Proposal 20 · Section VIII · Policy 23 · 3 min read
Proposal 20 would provide every 18–21-year-old participating in approved education or training with a government bursary, helping make continued learning and skills development financially viable.
A National Technology Investment Fund
Day 22 · Proposal 21 · Section IX · Policy 24 / Major Promise 21 · 4 min read
Proposal 21 would establish a National Technology Investment Fund supporting eleven priority technologies through grants, low-interest loans, equity investment, matched funding and research partnerships, with a £15 billion annual target at maturity.
A flexible full-time model designed to work alongside a seven-day economy.
Day 23 · Proposal 22 · Section X · Policy 25 · 4 min read
Proposal 22 would promote a move towards an approximately 32-hour, four-day standard full-time pattern where economically and operationally appropriate. It would operate alongside Policy 26’s seven-day economy, allowing shorter individual working patterns to coexist with wider national operating hours.
Seven-day access without a seven-day obligation for every worker.
Day 24 · Proposal 23 · Section X · Policy 26 · 6 min read
Proposal 23 would move Britain towards increasing seven-day operation across public services and participating businesses through staggered teams, additional employment, predictable rotas, digital services and extended banking—without requiring every individual to work seven days.
Can Britain make Saturday and Sunday ordinary payment days?
Day 25 · Proposal 24 · Section X · Policy 27 / Major Promise 24 · 5 min read
Proposal 24 asks whether Britain’s bulk and scheduled payment systems can be modernised so that Bacs Direct Credits, salaries, business payments and government payments can be credited on Saturdays and Sundays. It proposes an independent feasibility review, published evidence and a controlled pilot before national implementation.
Work and Independence Programme
Day 26 · Proposal 25 · Section XI · Policy 28 / Major Promise 25 · 7 min read
Proposal 25 would create an enhanced support programme for people receiving long-term sickness or disability benefits who want, and may be able, to return to suitable and sustainable work. Through retraining, transitional financial support, occupational assistance, workplace adaptations and transport support, it would aim to make work genuinely pay while protecting everyone who cannot safely work.
Assessing what people can do — safely, reliably and sustainably.
Day 27 · Proposal 26 · Section XI · Policy 29 / Major Promise 26 · 8 min read
Proposal 26 would reform work-capability assessments so they identify what a person can safely, reliably and sustainably do—not merely record a diagnosis or catalogue limitations. Decisions would consider realistic hours, transferable skills, reasonable adjustments, fluctuating conditions and genuine suitable work, while retaining strong health safeguards and keeping PIP separate from employability.
RESPONSIBILITY. PROTECTION. DIGNITY.
Day 28 · Proposal 27 · Section XI · Policy 30 · 7 min read
Proposal 27 would establish a Hardship Support Scheme for people who lose their Universal Standard Income after a fair decision that they are capable of reasonable participation but refuse without good reason. It would preserve a minimum essentials floor for food, energy, housing, health, children and dependants—maintaining meaningful consequences without deliberately forcing people into extreme deprivation.
Every job. Every worker. A pension that follows you.
Day 29 · Proposal 28 · Section XII — Pensions · Policy 31 / Major Promise 28 · 8 min read
Proposal 28 would replace the current opt-out workplace-pension structure with compulsory participation for every person in employment. Employees would make a statutory payroll contribution, employers would match it and government would provide tax relief equal to 25% of the employee contribution. Contribution rates would rise gradually, with affordability protections, portability and safeguards for low-paid and non-standard workers.
Security. Dignity. Retirement.
Day 30 · Proposal 29 · Section XII — Pensions · Policy 32 · 8 min read
Proposal 29 would establish a long-term minimum retirement-income floor of £18,000 a year. Private pension income would be assessed first, with the state contributing only the amount required to bring an individual up to the proposed floor. Someone already receiving £18,000 or more from private pensions would receive no state contribution. The proposal works alongside compulsory workplace pensions to prevent poverty in retirement while reducing long-term reliance on state provision.
Bring Britain’s Water Companies into Public Ownership
Day 31 · Proposal 30 · Section XIII · Policy 33 · 7 min read
Proposal 30 would bring Britain’s major water companies into public ownership and reinvest excess operating profits in pipes, sewage treatment, leakage reduction and environmental protection. The aim is to replace a failing monopoly model with an accountable public service focused on clean water, resilient infrastructure and the long-term national interest.
15,000 new places. Capacity to uphold sentences. Rehabilitation to reduce reoffending.
Day 32 · Proposal 31 · Section XIV · Policy 34 · 7 min read
Proposal 31 would build three rehabilitation-focused super-prisons, each designed for approximately 5,000 people. Together they would create around 15,000 additional places, strengthen the justice system’s ability to uphold lawful sentences and place education, treatment, training and preparation for release at the centre of prison life.
Reduce the backlog. Hear cases sooner. Deliver fair and timely justice.
Day 33 · Proposal 32 · Section XIV · Policy 35 · 7 min read
Proposal 32 would begin a properly modelled expansion of Britain’s court capacity to reduce criminal-case backlogs, hear cases within a reasonable time and deliver justice sooner for victims. The master manifesto gives an illustrative example of 125 additional magistrates’ courts and 30 additional Crown Courts, but the final scale, locations, budget and ongoing costs must follow evidence and expert scrutiny.
Register arrivals. Check identity and health. Decide claims lawfully. Enforce outcomes.
Day 34 · Proposal 33 · Section XV · Policy 36 · 7 min read
Proposal 33 would create one controlled process for people arriving illegally by small boat. Every arrival would be registered, medically assessed and security checked before entering secure accommodation and a functioning asylum process. Those granted protection would enter the refugee settlement system, while finally rejected claims would lead to lawful removal, subject to international obligations and individual legal rights.
Secure capacity. Strict safeguards. Government control.
Day 35 · Proposal 34 · Section XV · Policy 37 · 7 min read
Proposal 34 would rapidly expand secure immigration detention capacity through tightly regulated government contracts. Private providers could help build and operate facilities, but asylum decisions and lawful removals would remain entirely under government control. Contracts must protect security, welfare, value for money and public accountability.
Adult-only access. Regulated products. Public-health safeguards. A taxed legal market.
Day 36 · Proposal 35 · Section XXI · Policy 39 · 7 min read
Proposal 35 would legalise recreational cannabis for adults within a strictly regulated market covering cultivation, production, testing, packaging, retail, advertising, taxation and enforcement. Unlicensed production and sale would remain illegal, while public-health safeguards and dedicated tax revenues would help protect consumers and reduce organised criminal control.
Clear information. Consistent standards. A healthier food market.
Day 37 · Proposal 36 · Section XXII · Policy 40 · 7 min read
Proposal 36 would establish a mandatory national Green, Amber and Red nutritional classification for qualifying food products sold in the United Kingdom. The system would help consumers compare products consistently, encourage manufacturers to improve nutritional quality and provide a transparent foundation for later proposals on food taxation, healthy-food subsidies and reformulation.
Change the price signal. Protect choice. Make healthier food more competitive.
Day 38 · Proposal 37 · Section XXII · Policy 41 · 7 min read
Proposal 37 would apply either a higher rate of VAT or a supplementary food tax to qualifying Red and, where appropriate, Amber foods under the national traffic-light system. Taxation would be calibrated according to nutritional characteristics, with the purpose of changing relative prices so healthier choices become more economically attractive. The final mechanism, rates, thresholds, exemptions and implementation timetable remain open for modelling and scrutiny.
Make the healthier choice visible, practical and cheaper at the checkout.
Day 39 · Proposal 38 · Section XXII · Policy 42 · 7 min read
Proposal 38 would use additional revenue from the food-taxation system to reduce the point-of-sale price of qualifying healthier foods. Priority products named in the source are fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, pulses, grains, nuts, seeds and poultry, alongside other foods meeting defined health criteria. The eligibility rules, subsidy levels, delivery mechanism and implementation timetable remain open for modelling and scrutiny.
Reinvest food-tax receipts and reward healthier products.
Day 40 · Proposal 39 · Section XXII · Policies 43 & 44 · 7 min read
Proposal 39 would establish a dedicated Healthy Food Fund using relevant supplementary food-tax receipts and create a financial incentive for manufacturers to improve their products. The fund would support point-of-sale subsidies, nutrition education, school food, public health, healthy cooking and improved food access in deprived communities. Products that genuinely improve their nutritional composition could qualify for reclassification under the traffic-light system.
