Reform UK St Ives

THEY SAID REFORM HAD NO PLAN. BIRMINGHAM JUST PUT ONE ON THE TABLE.

First 100 days. Written down. Ministers sacked if they miss it.

1. THE BOATS - 100 DAYS
Farage signed a memorandum of understanding on stage with Jordan Bardella, tipped to be the next French Prime Minister. Intercept the boats in British waters. Return to France. The crossings stop, or the minister goes.

2. £250 OFF YOUR ENERGY BILL
Richard Tice: policy costs and VAT off household bills. In a county of draughty homes, that is the difference between heating and sitting in a coat.

3. THE FIRST £15,000 UNTAXED
Robert Jenrick: personal allowance up from £12,570. Cornish wages are not city wages. More of what you earn stays in your pocket, not in Whitehall.

4. TRAIN BRITISH DOCTORS HERE
Suella Braverman: lift the cap on medical school places. Treliske and our surgeries should not be begging the world for staff while British A-level students are turned away.

5. NURSES - NO INTEREST ON THE LOAN
Zero interest on student loans for British nurses. Young Cornish people who want to work for the NHS should not spend twenty years repaying an extortionate loan for the right to do the job.

6. APPRENTICESHIPS FOR CORNISH YOUTH
Wage credit for firms that take on 16–18-year-olds. A £2,000 bonus if they stay. Target: 600,000 apprentices a year. Cornwall loses its young because there is no trade to stay for. This is the offer to keep them.

7. WOMEN FOR REFORM
Sarah Pochin: safety, single-sex spaces, foreign offenders out, a party that will protect women.

8. SCRAP NET ZERO
Robert Jenrick: a saving at £10 billion a year would be achieved by cutting net zero programmes. Farage called it ending the net zero lunacy. Cheaper power, farms left to farm, and the money staying here.

9. WELFARE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT
Robert Jenrick: Reform is the party of working people, not Benefit Street. Fifty billion a year off the welfare bill. Face to face assessments. Work for those who can. Welfare for those who genuinely cannot. Cornwall’s taxpayers should not keep a system that pays people to stay idle.

10. NO MORE TEN-YEAR EXCUSES
National emergency, day one. One hundred days to move. Fail the pledge, lose the job. Cornwall has heard “give us time” from every government that priced locals out, decimated our industry and left our towns empty.

This is the First 100 Days. Not a slogan. A clock.

Please SHARE this. Cornwall first. Time starts when we get the keys.

I spent the day out with Cllr Steve Trevelyan around his Roche and Bugle division.

We went from village to village, speaking to residents and looking at the jobs he has on the go. Flooding, roads, small repairs for people who cannot afford a tradesman, the everyday problems that never make the headlines.

Steve is out on the ground, listening and getting stuck in. That is the work that actually matters to people. Cornwall needs more councillors like this and we are proud to see Reform UK doing it.

Part two is coming. Look out for it!

Reform will put British people first for social housing. That is the policy.

British-born workers under 35 go to the front of the queue. So do married couples who want children, veterans who served this country, victims of domestic violence and care leavers. Work comes before welfare. At least half of social homes will be reserved for young British workers. Foreign nationals will no longer be eligible.

1.3 million households are waiting for homes. We will build 50,000 affordable social homes a year; homes for British workers, British families, British veterans.

HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT? NO NEW TAXES
No extra tax. No extra borrowing. Right to Buy receipts go back into building. Housing associations invest more. A British sovereign wealth fund, built from reorganised local government pensions, backs the programme. Sell one home, build two. Britain pays its own way.

A young British worker should be able to leave home. A young British couple should be able to start a family. A veteran should not wait at the back of his own country’s queue.

If that offends you, this post is not for you.

Please SHARE. Brits need to know there is a plan.

THE HOUSING TRUTH THEY BURIED

The queue was rigged against the British people.

Labour and the Conservatives ran a housing system that put British taxpayers last. 1.3 million households are still waiting for a home. A staggering 540,000 social homes are occupied by foreign nationals. Young British workers under 35 cannot leave home, cannot start a family, and are taxed to the hilt to fund housing and benefits for people who never paid into the system.

That is why the birth rate has collapsed. The future was stolen from them.

Reform will change the rules.

Foreign nationals will no longer be eligible. Social housing will not be a reward for welfare. At least half of social homes will be reserved for young British workers. And Reform will build 50,000 affordable social homes a year.

HOW WE PAY FOR IT - NO NEW TAXES
Reform will build 50,000 affordable social homes a year without extra tax or extra borrowing. The money comes from Right to Buy receipts put back into building, extra housing association investment, and a British sovereign wealth fund from reorganised local government pensions. Sell one home, build two. British workers first, and Britain pays its own way.

Prioritising your own citizens is not an insult. It is the job of the British government.

If that offends you, this post is not for you.

Please SHARE, Brits need to know there is hope.

Too many of our young people in Cornwall leave school facing a bleak future. No proper trade. No local job that pays enough to stay.

Reform’s apprenticeship plan changes that. Small businesses get real help to take on 16 to 18 year olds, and the young person who sticks with it gets a £2,000 bonus. This is about giving Cornish youth a proper start instead of writing them off. Skilled hands, local firms, and a reason to stay.

That is hope worth fighting for.

Please SHARE this post, let’s give our young people some hope for a brighter future.
