Richard Tice

Hello, wow, what a party, what fun, hello fellow reformers, it’s fantastic to see so many of you here. Many of you will have been here on the 30th of June during the general election campaign, they said it couldn’t be done, they said we might get one, we got five, thanks to you and 4.1 million other people across our great United Kingdom and firstly I just want to reiterate the thanks to all of you being here.

It’s incredible the time, the money, the commitment that you give and we’ve achieved and we are achieving something absolutely extraordinary. In my own constituency that no one forecast could be won I overturned the biggest ever conservative majority of 25,500 people and that was with your help, with the constituents help, but also in particular the help of my brilliant team who are here today led by the amazing Ryan and Co, please give them a round of applause.

Now, it’s quite a moment, it’s quite a moment arriving in the House of Commons being led by, some might call him our chief whip but the truth is the great Lee Anderson, wasn’t he good earlier, my word wow Lee, he’s a brilliant tour guide, absolutely brilliant, the House of Parliament is a big place, he said “don’t worry Lads there’s only three important places; the chamber, the bar and the smoking terrace.”

Now importantly I’m not going to tell you in which order he thought was most priority, but I have to tell you it is quite a moment as you go into the chamber which is much smaller than anybody can believe and the last thing you see as you go into the chamber is that statue looking down at you wishing you luck and wishing you belief in our great nation, yes the statue of Sir Winston Churchill, it sends a shiver up my spine every time I go past and we’ve had some fun in the chamber.

I’ve spoken about 16 times and we’ve been holding this government to account and there’s all sorts of procedures, you have to bob up and down like a yo-yo, I sat there for 4 and a half hours bobbing up and down and Lee tell us what to do, the brilliant Lee and let me tell you what we talk about thanks, but when Lee Anderson had the courage the conviction the passion and the belief to make that huge leap, when he looked me in the eye back in February, he shook my hand and he said Richard let’s do it, we did it and that was the moment, absolutely vital now.

This conference, putting this on doesn’t just happen and talking of thanks the next speaker, our new chairman is doing a brilliant job without Zia Yusuf this would not have happened, without his incredible team Zia many thanks, incredible and of course when the great man speaks shortly you know my thanks to Nigel for saying yes, I’m going to do it, we’re going to go for it and we’re going to save Britain.

This is huge now, here we are do you remember back in January, I came across this funny word Starmageddon even the Daily Mail’s now latched onto it, the issue is I didn’t realize after 11 weeks of a Labour government we’d be talking about Starmageddon on steroids.

Now I must declare an interest here, it’s important to declare this interest, I have paid for my own suit, who knew, I don’t know what do I call him do I call him Sponger Starmer, do I call him Two Tier Keir, do I call him Free Gear Keir or or do I call him Starmer the Granny Harmer?

Unbelievable what he’s already doing to our country, truly unbelievable as it is, unbelievable I mean 22,000 pensioners in my constituency of Boston and Skegness, you can see on the screens behind 22,000 pensioners had their winter fuel allowance taken away from them.

Elizabeth shook my hand and burst into tears of fear, it is an absolute disgrace what this Labour government is doing to our pensioners and to our country, it’s also it’s also an absolute disgrace what the establishment have done to our country over the last 10 years. They’ve come across three, well they’ve imposed on us the British people three Cults; the first one was the cult of mass immigration, they told us it was a brilliant idea it would be good for us, really?

How’s it going folks, 8 million later do we feel better off? Do we feel that our public services are working better? and I tell you what last week was a really important week in our country, last week all of these three Cults were exposed for the fraud, the con and the lie that they are, last week alone the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) that great institution that Rachel Thieves loves the Office for Budget Responsibility admitted that actually low-skilled migrants never contribute to our country more than they take out.

But we’ve been told the opposite for decades, the great lie exposed of mass immigration being a benefit to the United Kingdom.

The second cult, this sort of new religion that we had to bow down to and if you don’t you’re a dreadful person if you don’t bow down to these religions you know if you want to express concern about immigration no, you’re a bigot and we’ll cancel you, well if you don’t bow down to the cult of the NHS then you’re a bad person, we’re going to cancel you, apparently you want to privatize it, no we don’t, we just want a Health Care system that works in our country thank you very much.

Even a lovely lady here earlier came up to me and said I’m a retired nurse and she said you’re so right when you spoke to Wes Streeting in the House of Commons last week after this Lord Darzi report exposed again the great lie that the NHS is the Envy of the world, tragically it’s not. The truth is the outcomes and the performance and the waiting lists are amongst the worst in the world, the great lie was exposed last week, the good news is where treating the health section he agreed with me in the House of Commons when I said the NHS needs reform the truth is the country needs Reform now, so that’s the second cult that has been exposed last week.

But the third cult that I want to focus on is the cult, this new religion of Net Zero, oh God I mean honestly but it was all exposed last week wasn’t it and then there’s my new best friend, I’m only joking Ed mad Milliband, he is in this extreme Cult of Net Zero, he is the chief Zealot he really is, he’s absolutely obsessed.

In the chamber he’s like a man possessed, I actually had to leave the chamber my blood was boiling, it’s unbelievable he wants to cover all our farmland, my constituency of fertile land, he wants to cover with solar panels. He doesn’t care about blighting the countryside with hundreds and thousands of huge 50 m pylons including across my constituency, this man is a danger to our economy, he’s the most dangerous man in Britain, to our economy today.

Last week we had thousands of jobs sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero in Port Talbot, the business secretary had to admit that he agreed with me, we have a problem with our energy prices, our electricity prices yes, we absolutely do because of the madness of net zero. That’s the reason that those jobs are being destroyed, that’s the reason that 400 plus jobs have gone in the Grangemouth Refinery that’s being closed.

Announced also last week, absolute insanity there’s thousands more jobs going to go sadly in Scunthorpe and then we had the other news yes, they’re not going to proceed with the coal mine in the Northwest, hundreds more jobs lost.

There’s a reason we’re going up in the polls in the wonderful nation of Scotland and that’s because the oil and gas industry is terrified about the destruction of those jobs there as you can tell, I got to be honest I’m pretty wound up about this, it may have come across, so quite right sir are you wound up about this?

Excellent, we’re all on track they are it’s all unbelievable what’s going on and when you travel to other nations who’ve been lucky enough to enjoy like we do Oil and Gas Energy treasure, what they’re doing, they’re all extracting oil and gas as fast as they can, in the Middle East Nations like the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain in the US, in Asia and let me tell you when you read their newspapers and you watch their TV there are two words they don’t talk about there, they never mention the words Net Zero. Do you know what they’re doing?

They’re laughing at our naive stupidity, absolutely laughing as they steal our jobs and our money they cannot believe the negligence of our establishment, we’ve got all this energy treasure under our feet, Lee mentioned it, oil gas, Shale gas and yet brilliant hundreds of billions of pounds worth owned by all of us and yet no, I tell you what folks this is a really good financial idea, let’s leave it there, for God’s sake I mean honestly, it’s utter Madness.

It’s negligent, it’s outrageous and I tell you what here’s a good reason to win the next general election and under Nigel and Zia’s leadership I believe I know and with your help I know that we will, the first thing we should do when we win the next general election folks is to scrap Net Zero and I tell you what I’m putting all of those people on notice, every single one of you, all of you receiving subsidies from us, the taxpayer for all these Net Zero projects.

The moment we scrap Net Zero all of these subsidies they stop, end of, terminated, finito. So, that’s the establishment cutting me off, they don’t like what I’m saying that’s what’s going on, extraordinary we have to do this, we have to win, you heard wonderful words from Ant Middleton just before lunch talking about our great country, the foundation based on Christianity, the fact that sure we can welcome smart immigration but all those who come here, who want to enjoy the benefits of this great nation you do so by playing by our rules, our game including and we have that sense of fair play.

When people say what do you mean by the British culture the British sense of value? I always go back to that sense of cricket, that sense of fair play and Lee talked about the great sports that we invented like so many other things, I could go on and on but time is pressing Zia is waiting, Nigel’s waiting but let’s just finish with a message of optimism of hope, I believe we can save this great country, I am sure can we win the next general election, then let’s do it, Thank you very much.
