How we are building:

To deliver a Stronger Economy it's vital our country lives within its means.

That's why we've unveiled £47 billion worth of savings, to reduce the deficit and enable us to responsibly deliver tax cuts.

Our economic plan also involves reducing electricity costs with our Cheap Power plan and cutting regulations that are holding businesses back.

Tax cuts, growth measures and Kemi’s Golden Economic Rule

For every £1 saved in public spending, at least half will go towards reducing the deficit.

The remainder will go towards affordable tax cuts and other pro-growth measures, including:

  • Abolishing Stamp Duty Land Tax on primary residences
  • Scrapping business rates for thousands of high street businesses
  • Introducing a First Job Bonus a £5,000 tax cut for young people entering work for the first time, paid into a savings account
  • Repealing the Family Farm Tax and safeguarding our food security
  • Repealing the Family Business Tax to support the makers and risk-takers who drive economic growth
  • Repealing the Education Tax supporting parents who invest in their children’s future
  • Repealing the Energy Profits Levy backing our energy industry to create jobs and growth
Energy

We’ve made it clear: the 2050 Net Zero target is impossible.

We all want to protect the environment but not by imposing unfair costs on working people and businesses. We will:

  • Replace the Climate Change Act and prioritise cheap, reliable and abundant energy
  • End Labour’s ban on new oil and gas licences and maximise extraction from the North Sea
  • Save the average family £165 a year on electricity bills and deliver major savings for businesses
  • Strengthen energy security by boosting domestic supply and reducing dependence on foreign energy
  • Scrap the mandate forcing manufacturers to produce electric vehicles and end Labour’s 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars
Deregulation

We’ll free businesses from unnecessary red tape that holds back growth. To do this, we will:

  • Repeal Angela Rayner’s Unemployment Bill, which costs businesses £5 billion and forces private firms to host union organisers in the workplace
  • Make HMRC accountable by letting small businesses grade every interaction with HMRC
  • Reform IR35 rules to simplify tax for the self-employed
  • Make it easier to open business bank accounts by overhauling regulations that presume guilt

We are reviewing all regulations that are holding businesses back and will announce further deregulation in due course.

Supporting Aspiration

We back people who work hard, want to start a family and save up to do so.

More homes are needed, but Labour’s flagship planning reforms will not work. They prioritise building in the countryside rather than in towns and cities where people want to live.

We want to build more homes, in the right places, to support young families.

We will rewrite the London Plan, clearing the path to tens of thousands of new homes in our capital.

In addition to abolishing Stamp Duty Land Tax on primary residences and introducing our First Job Bonus, we will also:

  • End the university debt trap by reducing wasteful taxpayer spending on certain degrees
  • Double funding for apprenticeships so school leavers have a genuine choice between university and vocational training

A Conservative Defence and Foreign Policy

We will always put Britain’s national interest first by ensuring our foreign policy strengthens our sovereignty, defends our allies, and advances British prosperity and security worldwide.

We:

  • Oppose Labour’s £35 billion Chagos Islands surrender, which gives up a critical defence position and makes Britain pay for it
  • Back Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russian aggression
  • Back Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorism
  • Oppose Labour’s plan to allow China to build a “super embassy” in London
  • Push for transparency on the collapse of a trial involving two men accused of spying for China
  • Have pushed Labour to commit to raising defence spending to 3% of GDP
  • Support service personnel through a new Armed Forces Housing Association
  • Reject Labour’s Brexit capitulation that would turn Britain back into a rule-taker from Brussels
Our plan to tackle crime
  • Hire 10,000 new police officers over three years
  • Scrap the recording of “non-crime hate incidents”, which waste 60,000 police hours a year, and refocus policing on real crime
  • Deploy more officers to 2,000 violent crime hotspots
  • Triple the use of stop and search to save lives
  • Clamp down on anti-social behaviour on public transport, with tougher enforcement on trains and extended powers for buses
  • Expand rural crime taskforces to tackle tool theft and farm crime, which cost businesses £44 million in 2024
  • Crack down on resale markets that make tool theft profitable
An NHS that works for everyone

The NHS will remain free at the point of use under a Conservative government.

That is only possible with a strong economy and leadership with the backbone to ensure the NHS works for patients, taxpayers and staff.

Labour have allowed NHS strikes to continue despite a 28.9% pay rise.

Enough is enough.

The Conservative Party will legislate for minimum service levels and ban doctors from striking to protect patient safety.

Sentencing and Justice
  • Abolish the Sentencing Council and make the Lord Chancellor accountable for sentencing
  • Reform the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office
  • Restore discipline in prisons so officers, not inmates, are in control
  • Abolish the Judicial Appointments Commission, returning responsibility for appointments to the Lord Chancellor, accountable to Parliament
Stronger Communities

Conservatives recognise that place matters. Strong local economies, identity and community pride are the foundations of a strong country.

  • Places of worship: reverse Labour’s cuts to the Listed Places of Worship Scheme and remove the £25,000 claims cap so vital repairs can be made
  • Pubs: protect pubs through business rates relief and repeal Labour’s red tape that makes it harder to hire staff, pubs are the beating heart of communities
  • Post Offices: oppose Labour’s plans to close branches and defend the vital role Post Offices play in keeping communities connected
Our children’s safety and future
  • Introduce a zero-tolerance approach to violence and poor behaviour in schools
  • Defend decades of cross-party education reforms that have driven up standards
  • Push for a nationwide ban on smartphones in schools to protect learning and mental health
  • Continue campaigning for justice for victims of grooming gangs, including full transparency through the publication of offender ethnicity data
  • Propose a ban on social media for under-16s to protect childhood wellbeing and safety
Championing Personal Freedoms

The Conservatives believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility.

  • Scrap “non-crime hate incidents” that waste police time and threaten free speech
  • Oppose and scrap Labour’s plans for digital ID cards
  • Vote against smoking bans and the so-called “Banter Ban” that would force landlords to police conversations
  • Commission Lord Young of Acton to examine threats to free speech in everyday life, reporting later this year

Our plan to leave the ECHR

Following a detailed report from Shadow Attorney General Lord Wolfson, the Conservatives have concluded that Britain must leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

Read Lord Wolfson’s final report

  • It stops us deporting foreign criminals and protecting our veterans from vexatious legal claims
  • It prevents us from putting British citizens first in social housing and public services
  • It blocks Parliament from ensuring sentences reflect its intentions
  • It stops us getting the homes and infrastructure Britain needs built

Leaving the ECHR will be challenging and complex. It will require a review of over 30 years of domestic legislation and international obligations, and a union-wide approach, particularly with respect to Northern Ireland.

Only the Conservative Party has done the necessary work to ensure this is delivered in an orderly and responsible way.

So Britain can chart a brighter future outside the Convention where British politicians, accountable to voters, make the law, not overseas judges.

Our BORDERS plan to cut illegal immigration

Once Britain has left the European Court of Human Rights, we will be able to implement our BORDERS plan a tougher and more detailed strategy than anything proposed by other parties.

  • Ban asylum claims for illegal entrants
  • Out of the ECHR, ECAT and repeal HRA
  • Removals Force established, to remove 150,000 per year
  • Deport all new illegal arrivals within a week, and all foreign criminals
  • End the Immigration Tribunal, Judicial Review and legal aid for immigration cases
  • Returns agreements backed by visa sanctions
  • Support our allies abroad to prevent illegal entry into Europe

View more information about our BORDERS plan

We announced our Deportation Bill earlier this year and are now able to go further developing stronger policy on legal immigration, enabled by Lord Wolfson’s review and our decision to leave the ECHR.

We will say more on cutting legal immigration in due course.
