Restore Britain's welfare policy

All working-age benefits would be frozen at 2025–26 levels for the lifetime of a Parliament. The party argues that this mirrors the freeze on income tax allowances, so that everyone shares the cost of repairing the public finances. It estimates that its full set of working-age measures, including the citizenship rule below, would save £70bn to £80bn a year by the end of a first Parliament.

"Citizens with genuine needs will be protected," the economic plan says. It does not break the freeze down benefit by benefit, and the party says more detailed papers will follow.

Under the economic plan, only British citizens would be entitled to working-age benefits. Legal migrants already in Britain, whether on visas or with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), would receive no benefits other than A&E care. The party proposes to do this by amending the Immigration Act 1971, section 115 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and other relevant laws, and says money should be made available to help foreign nationals who lose benefits return home. People in Britain illegally would receive no benefits or services and would be detained and deported.

The immigration Objective takes the same line: it says all state benefits would be withdrawn from foreign nationals and all benefits attached to ILR cancelled. It also says that a legally resident foreign national who claims benefits or refuses to work would face deportation. See immigration and border control and mass deportation.

The economy Objective proposes getting able-bodied Britons on benefits back to work. It gives examples of the work involved, such as picking litter, removing graffiti and clearing drains, and says anyone who refuses or "slacks on the job" would lose their benefits. The party says it wants a society that looks after the most vulnerable, but not a "back-to-front system of incentives" that rewards people who could work but choose not to.

The Objective does not set out how the scheme would be run, such as the hours required, who would organise the work, or how health conditions and caring responsibilities would be assessed.

The economic plan says "the state pension is secure", but the triple lock would end. Instead the pension would rise each year in line with CPI inflation, which the party says would protect pensioners' purchasing power. It estimates savings from the pensions budget of £8bn to £9bn a year by the end of a first Parliament.

Public-sector pensions would be brought into line with the private sector by replacing defined-benefit schemes with defined-contribution ones. On private pensions, the party says it would not direct pension investment towards government-favoured schemes, arguing that the money in a pension pot belongs to the saver.

The party's social and cultural Objective says that if British families want more children, the state should help, "not least by making childcare more accessible and more affordable". It has not yet published detailed childcare proposals.
