Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

The farming sector has been one of the most affected since Brexit. Farmers are experiencing a loss of profit after a drop in subsidies after we left the EU. It’s essential that we work with Europe to save British farming.

These policies position themselves as a distinct alternative to Labour, Conservatives or Reform, appealing to voters frustrated with the electoral system or Brexit.
