Reform UK has bold plans to reverse Britain's economic decline. Measures include scrapping carbon taxes, removing VAT from domestic energy bills, cutting average household energy bills by £250 within the first 100 days of the next government.

Britain's energy supply currently has the worst of all possible worlds: record high costs, exposure to global conflict and global prices, and a massive burden of green mandates, levies, transfer pricing, and Carbon Price Support (CPS) on gas generators.

Winning an election is just the beginning. The next government is going to have to create a new relationship with an impartial Civil Service.

ONS data shows that total public service productivity remains 2.5% to 3.4% lower than in 2019. The bloated state has become an immovable obstacle to Britain's progress.
