The soaring cost of living is suffocating, but let’s not pretend that this is some unstoppable phenomenon.
This is caused by politicians, and it can be solved by politicians - just different politicians who have the courage to do what needs to be done, however unpopular that may be.
Above all else, we need to brutalise the size of the state. I mean brutalise. Like nothing that has ever been seen. A public sector bonfire that is visible from space - that is what Restore Britain would do.
We would deliver a Britain that lives within its means. In fact, we would be forced to go further. The immediate priority has to be paying off the national debt. Vast interest repayments on that debt are a boot on Britain’s neck. Billions and billions, just spent on interest. No household could live like that, so why can we allow the country to do so?
This is debt in our name. It's on us. Our children and grandchildren. What an inheritance that is.
We need to cut the debt, not just the deficit.
I am going to be entirely honest here. That will be painful - really, really painful. There are no easy solutions, no easy times. We had that, and it’s led us here. To hard times. We now need hard solutions. That’s just the honest truth. Don’t like it? Don’t vote Restore Britain. I’m not promising some utopia like the others. I’m telling the truth. What a mad idea that is.
There is one answer, and one answer only.
Hack down the size of the state, and drastically reduce tax. Bring it all down, in a way that’s never been seen before in Britain.
And yes, that will mean the state does less. GOOD. I want hardworking families to keep more of THEIR money, and they can decide how it’s spent. Thresholds raised, rates slashed. VAT, alcohol duty, fuel duty - all cut. Resist the stealth taxes they all pretend don’t exist. We will REWARD work.
I think the state is bad.
I think the individual is good.
I trust the individual to make the decisions that are best for them and their family. I do not trust the bureaucrat to spend your money in the best possible way. Do you?
Growth only comes from the following things.
A far smaller state. Lower taxes. More people working. Fewer people scrounging. Cheaper energy. Stronger borders. A secure society. Actual production.
I want the Government to do a very small list of things, but to do them very well.
Protect our people, protect our borders, protect our interests. Other than that, no thanks.
That is the only way to get the cost of living under control, there is no other way.
We must crush parasitic Britain.
There is now a political party dedicated to doing exactly that.
Restore Britain.
I will never walk away from the mandate I was given.
I will never walk away from the people I'm fighting for.
I will never walk away from the country I love.

There is, it seems, a surprising value in being a cockroach that survives.
Most people would not want to call themselves cockroaches. In fact, most would not want to spend the time simply surviving. But the fact of the matter is this, timing, more than any other thing, makes the biggest apparent fools, and geniuses of us all.
Don't get me wrong. That's not to say we are not impressive fools from time to time. Of course we are. But that is part of life.
The big lesson here is that a sharp awareness of timing, matters so much, that in many cases it may be the sole thing that dramatically changes an entire outcome.
What then, is a good lesson for us? And what may be a good lesson for builders everywhere?
A few points come to mind.
Find a giant market (or one rapidly and significantly expanding), with a secular trend unfolding around it. And build a kickass product to serve it.
Attune yourself to the rhythm of seasonality. Nature, markets and humans, all have a rhythm. Learn to lean into that rhythm. There are moments to rock the boat, and moments to conserve the energy, and wait the storm to pass.
Do the hard work. Luck will favor the prepared mind. Let luck find you ready when it strikes. Have the homework done, be the one ready for the wave to unfold.
Understand the value of survival. A ship navigating the sea in the middle of a storm will have one and only one goal, and that’s survival. Once the storm has passed, the ship can carry its mission forward.
The last few years have taught me many invaluable lessons, but none so counterintuitive and difficult to live by, as being aware of timing.
So what does this mean in practice?
Well, it may be as simple as asking this one question: is this the time for attack, or is this the time for energy conservation?
Look around. Do a temperature check. When nothing seems to make sense anymore, take a step back, and ask this simple question. Dose your energy. Keep your head down. And let the storm pass. If needed.
Once it does, show the world what you got. The real thing you’ve been cooking all this time. The reps and homework you have done.
Be a cockroach that is hard to kill, and survives.
If you survive long enough, rewards will find their way to you.
@Rurik_Varangian@grok@MikeHudema Land isn’t the only constraint for building reactors - they take much longer to construct and cost orders of magnitude more than solar. Can’t just substitute nuclear in this equation
One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:
Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.
Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.
