We are growing Our Policy Prospectus

Last Updated: July 31st 2025.

We have announced plans to support our core vision of authentic conservativism across many areas of public policy.

‍Unlike any other party, our policy approach means telling hard truths and being serious about the challenges.

Taxation

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the Family Farm Tax be reversed?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the Family Business Tax be reversed?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the VAT on Private Education be removed?	Yes	No	Un-important

We have opposed Labour’s damaging tax rises on working people, leading the fight against Labour's terrible Jobs Tax, which will hit employers, struggling businesses, charities, and public services.

We have also committed to reversing this Labour government’s cruel and unnecessary taxes on ambition, including:

The Family Farms Tax, because we stand with farmers.
The Family Business Tax, because we stand with entrepreneurs.
The Education Tax, because we stand with parents.

Welfare

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the two-child benefit cap be kept?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should welfare spending be controlled with only those who need benefit being given it?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should mobility payments for things like drug misuse, ADHD and obesity be removed?	Yes	No	Un-important

We are clear that the spiralling welfare bill is unaffordable for British taxpayers. We have:

Voted to defend the two-child benefit cap, because people on benefits should have to make the same choices as everyone else.
Proposed reforms to bring welfare spending under control, including bringing back proper assessments to make sure only those that need benefits can access them.
Called out wasteful spending on programmes within Motability, being clear that people should not get mobility payments for things like drug misuse, ADHD and obesity.

Immigration

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should there be a strict annual cap on migration?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the residency requirement for Indefinite Leave to Remain be doubled from five to ten years?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should new powers be created to revoke Indefinite Leave to Remain, for some, if necessary?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we disapply the Human Rights Act from all immigration matters?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the required salary threshold for work visas be increased to £38,700?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should all foreign criminals be deported back to their home countries?	Yes	No	Un-important

We have tabled the landmark ‘Deportation Bill’, which sets out a clear vision for border control under a Conservative Government, with tough, practical measures designed to end abuse, enforce the law, and put British interests first. Underpinning all of this will be a credible and effective deterrent.

Our Deportation Bill would:

Introduce a strict annual cap on migration – Ensuring migration levels are determined by the British people.
Double the residency requirement for Indefinite Leave to Remain from five to ten years – with a further five years to gain a precious British passport. British citizenship is a privilege to be earned, not a right to be claimed.
Create new powers to revoke Indefinite Leave to Remain – Allowing us to remove those who have become a burden to the UK.
Disapply the Human Rights Act from all immigration-related matters – Preventing foreign nationals from exploiting our court system.
Increase the salary threshold for work visas to £38,700.
Introduce powers to deport all foreign criminals – If you break the law here, you go home. No one who commits crime should be able to get Leave to Remain or citizenship.

Note: Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), also known as settlement, is the right to live, work and study in the UK permanently without a time limit. It means you are no longer subject to immigration control and are considered 'settled' in the UK. ILR also allows you to apply for UK citizenship and access benefits, provided you are eligible.

Law and Order

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should there be a two-tier justice system?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should prison officers be armed with tasers?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should police officers be more protected from witch hunts?	Yes	No	Un-important

We have taken a no-nonsense approach to law and order, refusing to allow criminals free reign and being clear that prison works.

We have:

Forced Labour to U-turn on disgraceful plans for two-tier justice.
Voted for tougher sentences for crimes like tool theft and fly tipping.
Proposed stricter conditions in prisons, including arming prison officers.
Called for police officers who enforce the law to be protected from witch hunts.

Energy and Energy Security

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the Deposit Return Scheme on drinks containers be introduced?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we delay the Zero Emission Vehicle deadline for car manufacturers?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we continue to extract oil and gas from the North Sea?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should there be an Energy Profits Levy on the energy industry?	Yes	No	Un-important

The Conservatives have told the truth that the 2050 Net Zero target is impossible.

Our work is underway, looking into how we can deliver cheap and clean energy, without bankrupting businesses, without eye-watering bills for households, and in a way which reduces our dependency on hostile or unstable countries.

We have also opposed plans to force green targets on individuals and businesses by:

Voting against the Deposit Return Scheme, which will push up the prices of multipack goods.
Pushing for a delay on the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, which drives manufacturers to make electric cars.
Supporting Oil and Gas extraction in the North Sea, stopping us being dependent on foreign fossil fuels.
Opposing the Energy Profits Levy, promising that a future Conservative Government will not have this levy but will instead back our energy industry to create jobs and growth.

Note. A Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) charges consumers a small, refundable deposit on drinks containers (like plastic bottles and cans) to incentivise their return for recycling, with the deposit refunded upon return at designated points. The UK's nationwide DRS is set to launch on 1^st October 2027

Health and Social Care

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should doctors be allowed to strike?	Yes	No	Un-important

Supporting Aspiration

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should British citizens be given access to new homes before new immigrants?	Yes	No	Un-important

We back people who work hard, want to start a family and save up to do so.

More homes are needed but Labour’s flagship planning reforms will not work – they are building homes in the countryside and not in towns and cities where people want to live, and they are overriding local democratic consent by bypassing planning committees.

We want to build more homes, in the right places, to support young families.

Our lawfare commission will also ensure we can prioritise homes for British people – we cannot continue a situation where British citizens are behind new immigrants in the queue to access social housing.

Education and protecting children

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should smartphones in schools be banned?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should social media access for children under 16 be restricted?	Yes	No	Un-important
Do you believe child rape gangs are still an issue in this country?	Yes	No	Un-important

We have opposed Labour’s terrible plans to overturn the cross-party consensus on school reform which has seen a huge rise in English school standards.

We have proposed policies to protect kids from poisonous social media. Instead of the hysteria around online radicalisation, we drew up new powers to ban smartphones in schools and restrict social media use for under 16s.

We have forced votes on the need for a national inquiry into child rape gangs, because we believe that the victims of this awful and national scandal deserve justice and deserve the truth. And because of the pressure we put on Labour, we forced the Government into a U-turn.

We continue to give a voice to the victims and be honest about the perpetrators, including voting for the full release of ethnicity data of sex offenders.

Pensioners

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should pensions be subject to income tax?	Yes	No	Un-important

This Labour government snatched Winter Fuel Payments from millions of the poorest pensioners. We voted consistently against this in the House of Commons, and because of the pressure we put on the Government, we forced a U-turn.

Labour also plans to make pensioners pay income tax on their pensions for the first time. We have exposed their plans to do this and are trying to stop them.

Government efficiency and effectiveness

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should defence spending be given higher priority than foreign aid?	Yes	No	Un-important
Is there already too much red tape?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should bus and rail companies be nationalised?	Yes	No	Un-important

The Conservatives are the only ones serious about limiting government spending and the size of the quango state.

We have:

Proposed cuts to foreign aid, to spend on urgent priorities especially defence.
Opposed new quangos like GB Energy and the football regulator, which create more costs and red tape.
Warned against the nationalisation of successful bus and rail companies, which are being set up to fail at huge costs to taxpayers.

Personal Freedoms

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Are the police spending too much time policing social media?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should people be allowed to discuss whatever they wish in pubs?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should the government keep increasing the acceptable age for smoking?	Yes	No	Un-important

We have vigorously defended important rights such as freedom of speech, thought, press and religion.

We have:

Laid out plans to abolish ‘non-crime hate incidents’. We shouldn’t have police spending time on investigating hurt feelings and perceived offensive language. Offensive language isn’t the same as illegal language – Conservatives will stop this practice.
Opposed the ‘banter ban’ on speech in pubs. Labour are making pub landlords responsible for what punters say, forcing them to police speech. Conservatives will not support such restrictions on free speech and placing extra burdens on small businesses that is why we voted against this measure in the Employment Rights Bill.
Voted against the smoking ban. Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, and not blanket bans.

Our Party defends common sense. That is why Conservatives have resisted the right-on dogma destroying our institutions.

We have:

Held the BBC to account over their blatant bias, including for terrorist organisations like Hamas.
Voted for changes to force public bodies to record biological sex not gender.
Demanded the Supreme Court judgement on gender be duly reflected in policy and guidance, without delay.
Called out racist hiring procedures and the use of positive discrimination.

Defending the national interest

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Is it important to increase our defence spending to 3% as soon as we can?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we continue to back Ukraine?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we support Israel regarding its right to defend itself?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we limit overseas imports if they rely on slave labour?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we be giving more support to our armed forces regarding housing?	Yes	No	Un-important

We believe in putting national interest before international interests:

Opposing the £30bn Chagos Islands surrender.
Pushing Labour to raise defence spending to 3% of GDP in the next five years.
Backing Ukraine to the hilt in their war against Russian aggression.
Supporting Israel's right to defend itself.
Voting to crack down on Chinese solar panels that rely on modern slave labour.
Opposing Labour’s plans to allow China to open a ‘super embassy’ in London.
Supporting our soldiers with a new Armed Forces Housing Association.

Brexit

Questions	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we allow freer movemnet between the EU and ourselves?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we contribute financially to the EU?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we allow more EU fishing trawlers into our waters?	Yes	No	Un-important
Should we adopt EU rules?	Yes	No	Un-important
Do you consider NATO as the cornerstone of European security?	Yes	No	Un-important

We set out five clear tests to stop the Brexit betrayal and safeguard British sovereignty, secure our borders, and defend our fishing rights:

No backsliding on free movement or compulsory asylum transfers.
No new money paid to the EU.
No reduction in our fishing rights.
No rule taking, dynamic alignment or European Court jurisdiction.
No compromise on the primacy of NATO as the cornerstone of European security.

When Labour's EU Surrender clearly failed all these tests and sought to drag us back into old debates about Brexit, we pledged we would simply reverse their deal.
