End school holiday fines

• • Families should have the freedom to take children on meaningful trips inside term time without being fined by the state, for up to five school days a year.
  • Parents should be trusted to act in the interests of their own children. Five days a year will not ruin their education, but it will give children irreplaceable life experience that cannot be gained in the classroom.
  • Many families can only afford holidays in term time. The current system punishes those who work hard but can’t pay school holiday premiums.
  • It is not the business of the state to micromanage family life.

Restore the university

• • Britain is home to some of the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities. We should be setting global standards in research and academic excellence – but instead of pursuing truth, our high-culture institutions have been totally captured by anti-British, anti-Western, and anti-white ideological trends such as decolonisation, intersectionality, and critical race theory.
  • This does not serve the interests of the British public. In fact, it is in academia that so many of the destructive ideas that have come to dominate our culture and political life originate, from gender ideology to multiculturalism.
  • There is no such thing as a neutral institution – and this goes for education. Our universities should be openly pro-British: proud of our history, proud of our culture, proud of our people.
  • We should not be afraid of rooting out subversive elements within our education system. Professors and administrative staff pushing anti-British ideology should hold no position in a publicly funded British university. Courses that brainwash students into hating their own culture should be shut down. In the most egregious cases, inquiries pertaining to entire universities must be held.
