Stop taxing work twice.
Day 2 · Proposal 02 · 5 min read
Abolish employee National Insurance as a separate deduction from wages and bring employment income within one clearer progressive personal tax system, integrated with the Universal Standard Income.
ReformGrowthSecurity03
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.
GrowthReform05
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.
SecurityReform07
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.
SecurityReform08
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.
GrowthOpportunityReform09
Historical record — Manifesto 1.0, withdrawn and revised on Day 10.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 This version has been withdrawn following public scrutiny and replaced by the Day 10 revised Proposal 09, which delivers one million homes through mixed tenure.
GrowthOpportunityReform09
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.
EnergyReform11
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.
SecurityReform17
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.
OpportunityReform18
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.
SecurityReform29
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.
SecurityReform30
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.
SecurityReform31
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.
SecurityReform32
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.
SecurityReform33
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.
SecurityReform34
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.
SecurityReform35
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.
OpportunityReform36
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.
OpportunityReform37
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.
Cost of LivingReform39
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.
