DP

“The riots in France are yet more evidence that the global liberalism pursued by successive British and European governments has been a catastrophic mistake. In a few generations, our political class has committed a nation-altering blunder of epic scale, and in doing so, it has surrendered the hard-won achievements of centuries." Read our full press release on our website, link below.

If it’s non-competitive, it should be nationalised. The market works by having competition drive efficiency. But without competition, it only drives greed. It’s time to nationalise utilities and make them state-run. 🇬🇧

The SDP says NO to separatism. Interim Party Leader Ross Baglin has issued a statement: "Governments for the last thirty years have operated within the Blairite settlement - a toxic mix of globalism, Europhilia, identity politics and human rights law, all of which are combining to tear the UK apart.  This latest move - which allies the SNP and Plaid Cymru with Sinn Féin - is yet another step toward the disintegration of our nation resulting from this sorry experiment. The last thing this country needs is more preening politicians of the exact same stripe, hungry for more power, status and resources.  We do not need more government.  We need good government, a patriotic British state working in the national interest."

We need to end the snobbery around not going to university. Trades, practical skills and every job that serves the community deserve the same respect. That’s why our policies encourage massive investment in skills here at home, rather than relying on hiring from abroad. 🇬🇧

The European Court of Human Rights does not work for Britain anymore. What was once set up to help those fleeing conflict in Europe has led to all of Asia and Africa having the right to come to our shores and claim asylum, with only a portion being from genuine conflict zones, with cultures far different to ours, and many safe countries passed through. It is time we pulled out and wrote laws that make sense for Britain. 🇬🇧

Our party is currently in a stage of change it has not seen in almost a decade, but whatever comes next, our core aims remain the same. Improve the living standards of the British people. Make choices for the future, not just today. Preserve our British way of life and identity. It’s that simple. No other party currently offers this, and we will continue to fight for this until the end. 🇬🇧

The Falklands are British, their people identify as such and are no different to anyone on the mainland. We are the only party willing to do the defence investment to maintain this reality. 🇬🇧🇫🇰

Getting a full view of Clacton from the Naze. Such a beautiful place to be. #CloustonForClacton

We're in beautiful Clacton again, meeting residents who've already voted SDP - as well as Tory and Labour voters who are excited to find a better party. Don't tell Nige, but we're even speaking with Reform voters who have had enough of the shenanigans now. If you're in Clacton, Frinton or Walton this afternoon, come and say hello! #CloustonForClacton
