Where they stand
The latest thing they said on each issue, dated. Tap an issue for their words and the source.
Economy and energy
Taxing wealth No new taxes on wealth
Said
Top taxpayers are leaving Britain, and Reform would make the country attractive to successful people rather than tax them more.
“Britain has lost £121bn in wealth in 2 years because our top taxpayers are LEAVING. Britain is falling deeper into third-world decline and the rest of us are footing the tax bill. Only Reform will stop this by making Britain the most attractive country for successful people.”
Two-child benefit limit Scrap the two-child limit
Said
Under Reform the cap would be lifted only for British parents who both work full time; for everyone else it stays.
“Under Reform, only British parents working full time will be entitled to have the two-child benefit cap scrapped.”
Net zero Scrap or delay net zero
Said
Reform would scrap net zero and reindustrialise Britain.
“Reform will scrap net zero, reindustrialise Britain and bring thousands of good jobs back into local areas.”
Society
Immigration Controlled, lower migration
Said
Reform would abolish indefinite leave to remain and raise visa salary thresholds so only migrants who make a net fiscal contribution can come.
“We would raise visa salary thresholds, so only those who will make an absolute positive fiscal contribution can come, and mandate strict rules on good character.”

Human rights convention Leave the ECHR
Said
To end illegal migration Britain must leave the ECHR, repeal the Human Rights Act and disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention.
“Naturally, to achieve much of this, we must leave the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act, pass the Illegal Migration (Mass Deportations) Bill and disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention.”

Assisted dying Against assisted dying
Said
He voted against the assisted dying bill because he fears the law would widen in scope.
“I voted against the assisted dying bill, not out of a lack of compassion but because I fear that the law will widen in scope. If that happens, the right to die may become the obligation to die.”
Britain in the world
Europe Keep Brexit as it is
Said
Rejoining the EU or its single market would cost Britain its freedom to set taxes, energy policy and trade deals.
“Reentering the Single Market would mean accepting EU diktats that strangle small businesses and crush domestic innovation.”

- UkraineNothing on record yet
Palestinian state Not now
Said
Recognising a Palestinian state rewards Hamas and will not bring peace.
“The Prime Minister is wrong to recognise a Palestinian state. This is a reward for the Hamas terrorists and will do nothing to bring about peace.”
