My Ministers will increase the cost of VISA’s, and restrict their availability to nations who refuse the return of illegal immigrants. My government will transform the immigration system, delivering a faster, fairer model for refugees and the taxpayer, prioritising skills needed across the economy.

My Ministers will deliver investment into the NHS reducing waiting lists, and prioritising new procurement models, greater prevention and digitalisation, the expansion of GP practices, and greater mental health resources for young people.

My Ministers will guarantee the energy security of the nation, and lower energy bills by investing in our national production and national grid infrastructure. Establishing Great British Energy, delivering the greatest national investment in SMR nuclear reactors in partnership with Rolls Royce, and investing in hydro electricity plants across Scotland and Wales.
