The UK has become stagnant, tired, overwhelmed. A remarkable state of affairs considering we are at the beginning of a New Government, not one that has been in power for 14 years and has run out of ideas and steam, but a new government that already looks jaded, negative and backwards, looking in reverse to austerity as an answer.

There are many reasons for this feeling of a grey, dull, heavy feeling around the UK: Mass Immigration, financial depression, overcrowded prisons, knife crime, services not working etc.

Labour do have a large majority in Parliament that can’t be denied, but what also cannot be denied is there was not a ringing endorsement for Labour, receiving less votes than the Corbyn election in 2019. What is clear is people wanted the Tories out in any circumstances, so we are left with an unpopular government for which there is no enthusiasm and boy does it show through.

One of the main underlying reasons for this lack of enthusiasm, this lack of Gusto, is there is no change. Things in Politics are carrying on the same way we have seen generation after generation, and this includes the language we use. Far left, Far Right, Left wing, right wing, Centre ground.

I do not think this restrictive language is relevant or useful unless you are the media, which enables them to easily “pigeonhole” politicians and political parties. This language is in itself! “tired, grey, backwards facing” OLD Politics.

Are we as individuals so linear that we can only be “Far Right” or” Left” and that membership of that label is what drives one’s ideas, a party policy and political doctrine? Surely, we have reached a state of human evolution that an innovative idea, a workable solution can come from all sorts of people, not just the political elite, the political think tank snobbery. And not just from one flank of a make-believe political wing?

I remember Blairs Labour introducing “Sure Start” centres, I worked in some of them over the years, they were innovative ideas, they achieved something positive, am I now Left Wing or should I say Right Wing. I have never voted Tory and never will, but does that mean I can’t think that the introduction of “the right to buy of council houses” was a bad idea, I do not, I think it was an excellent idea.

We need fundamental radical change in the UK. We need to tear down the way we govern and are governed, the list of radical change we desperately need is so long it would take an entire book. But we can start with the old language we continue to use.

I joined Reform and proudly stood for Reform in the Election because I believe they are the only party with radical, new, innovative ideas and policies that will really change this country and inject a very much needed burst of energy and adrenalin that will set the UK on a forward facing, positive road to not only a positive future, but will regenerate this tired country in to a new thriving modern world power house. I am not, anymore, a right, or left or anything politician.

Like my Party, I am though a “Common Sense, Problem Solving Politician” I reject the old language of politics and I invite you to do the same, open your mind, read, watch, listen to information about politics and think clearly about what you want for the country we live in, its important.
