    Heritage Party We are now in our fourth year since we launched as a party in autumn 2020. This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May.

    In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ.

    The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage.

    We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country. I Edwars say that if anyone votes Lib/Lab/ Con or any other left wing parties they need their head examined. Heritage could, with your help make Britain great again. I Edward say that if anyonr votes labour or tory or any other left wing part they need their head exam ined

    Watching this a year later from the US, where we just ousted the Speaker of the House for the first time in history and then had the House of Representatives go into recess for a week, preventing the election of a new Speaker. We now have no way to pass budgets or make new legislation until we have a new Speaker.

    truly revolutionary politician; she actually managed to overthrow herself out but fucking things up in record time. That prevented a public revolt. but as a further fuckup we got a an Indian PM who doing a better job but still fucks up some areas of tori policy.

    Truss was an absolute idiot. We could all see that before she got elected. I would dearly love to hear from some Tory Party members WHY they voted for her. A moron could see she was totally unfit for high office. Was is simple racism against Sunak or greed for reduction in their personal taxes? Whatever it was, they have a LOT of apologising to do. I will personally be available to take apologies from some of the thousands who voted for her, on Monday afternoon after 4pm.

    Up until 1963 the US had an upper limit tax rate of 94%. And guess what? We still had a lot of millionaires roaming around. Maybe it's time for the UK to boost the upper limit from 45% to 65% or higher?

    Britain economy is in a crisis and may be heading towards a collapse. Some of the indicators are:
    High inflation: The Britain inflation rate has soared to 9.1% in November, the highest level since 1991. This means that the prices of goods and services are rising faster than the incomes of consumers and businesses, eroding their purchasing power and living standards. Inflation is expected to rise further in the coming months due to the impact of the war in Ukraine, which has pushed up the cost of energy and other commodities.
    Low growth: Britain GDP growth has slowed down significantly this year, as the economy has been hit by the pandemic, Brexit, and global supply chain disruptions. Britain economy contracted by 0.1% in October, the third consecutive month of decline. The Britain is now only 0.9% larger than it was in November 2019, before the pandemic. The Bank of England has warned that Britain faces a higher risk of recession than other major economies.
    Trade imbalance: Britain trade balance has deteriorated since it left the EU single market and customs union at the end of 2020. Britain now faces higher tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and regulatory divergence with its largest trading partner, which has reduced its exports and increased its imports. Britain trade deficit widened to £11.6 billion in October, the largest since January 2017. Britain also relies heavily on imports of food, energy, and raw materials, which makes it vulnerable to external shocks and price fluctuations.
    Tax burden: Britain tax burden has increased to its highest level since the 1950s, as the government has raised taxes on businesses and households to pay for the spending during the pandemic and to reduce the public debt. Britain tax-to-GDP ratio is projected to reach 35.5% by 2024-25, compared with 33.4% in 2019-20. This could hamper the economic recovery and competitiveness of Britain , as well as reduce the disposable income and incentives of workers and investors.
    Labour shortages: Britain labour market is facing a severe shortage of workers across many sectors, such as hospitality, retail, construction, health care, and transport. This is partly due to the ageing population, the health impacts of Covid-19, and the loss of EU workers after Brexit. There are now about a million fewer people in the labour force than before the pandemic. The lack of workers has constrained the output and productivity of businesses, increased their costs and wages, and reduced their quality and service levels.

    Britain economy is in crisis and could lead to a collapse of the economy and a social unrest.

    The market just F panicked? Seems to me like the panic was what caused the inflation and high cost of borrowing. Why wouldn't it give her policies a chance? Forgive me for my ignorance.
