Elon Musk has contributed more to human progress than every politician who has spent their time harassing him combined. It's not even close.

Artificial intelligence is changing the nature of the world - whether we like it or not. Airspace disrupted. Flights grounded. Email systems down. Banking systems taken offline. Hospitals unable to access patient information. Government email systems compromised. Emergency services struggling to communicate. The world is rapidly changing. We can all see it. Do you trust the British state to adapt quickly enough? I do NOT. Imagine millions of people waking up unable to access their money, travel or contact essential services. Shops won’t operate. What about the water systems? Electricity? Public transport down, roads unusable. Ports, railways, energy networks and communication systems being attacked simultaneously - by the best qualified hackers in the world, only this time they can do everything, all at once, relentlessly. It’s happening now, evidently. AI is making cyberattacks SO much more sophisticated. And NOBODY in Westminster understands the scale of threat we are facing. We need the capability to defend ourselves. We cannot allow our national defence to depend entirely on infrastructure, computing capacity and artificial intelligence models controlled overseas. Britain needs sovereign AI capability - that is what Restore Britain will deliver. British-controlled computing infrastructure. Secure domestic systems. Advanced AI tech that can operate independently of foreign interference. Our own VERY well paid specialists developing systems to detect and counter cyberattacks before they cripple the country and our way of life. We need AI-powered defences capable of monitoring threats around the clock, identifying malicious activity against critical networks and responding at speeds no human team could possibly match. This is the direction of the world now. We either defend ourselves, or we don’t. I believe this is now a national emergency, and should be treated as such. In the short term - we need secure government communications, resilient backup systems and the ability to keep our hospitals, airports, power stations and emergency services functioning even during a sustained attack. Is this preparation happening now? We need British expertise. British engineers, researchers, cybersecurity specialists and technology companies building the systems on which our security will depend. This AI technology is advancing at extraordinary speed. We are dangerously exposed and I am not seeing that change anytime soon. An AI-driven economic and societal collapse is not far away. We need to wake up to that fact.

Restore Britain will answer to Britain, and nobody else.

Rather than importing, and then permanently settling, care workers from the third world, many of whom are unable to speak English and lack the necessary qualifications or attitude, the answer is quite straightforward. Get the millions of healthy Brits on benefits doing that work. That, or they lose their universal credit. If someone is fit, healthy, and capable of working they should be expected to take up suitable employment or training. That includes training and working in social care. For those who can work and simply refuse? The taxpayer should not be expected to fund that choice. Participate and contribute, or you will lose your benefits. We cannot keep importing workers to do jobs that capable people already living in Britain should be trained to do.
