The 2019 general election was won simply by Brexit voters in England and Wales supporting the candidate that promised to stop prevaricating over the 2016 referendum result – and honour the voice of the people.
The Red Wall that turned Blue – was a simple rejection of the North London luvvies represented by the socialists Starmer and McDonnell – who were looking at all means possible to overturn this democratic decision.
It wasn’t an endorsement of Conservative policy or “levelling up” – but simply a demand for the people to be heard and respected – and for a government to put the interests of the British people first.
As we enter the final stages of the Conservative leadership election – there is clearly 6 key issues – that need to be addressed positively – to win the support of the Brexit voter.
- Immediate action against inflation – even if that means political pressure on the Bank of England to react by raising interest rates dramatically – to curb inflation and strengthen the £ – that will immediately reduce the price of dollar based energy imports
- A mid-term policy of tax cuts – putting more money where it belongs – in the hands of the individual who did the work. This should be short term via income tax cuts, removing the green levy on energy bills, removing duty on petrol and mid-term by reducing corporation tax and rejecting inheritance tax.

- Return to a small government ethos – where entrepreneurs and the private sector is encouraged to take “calculated risks”
- Protect free speech – and not legislate woke-ness
- “Take back control” and not allow interest groups and politically motivated charities – to stop us from protecting our borders and giving hospitality and a warm welcome to legal immigrants and forcibly arresting and deporting illegals.
- Admit that the NHS is broken – and that to continue to throw £ Billions at the problem – will not solve anything. What the British people deserve is a health system that delivers – be it public or privately funded – and not this “shell” of a system that many are now ashamed of.
In the following article – candidate promises will be evaluated.
