Having a child is an incredibly difficult decision for young men and women now. The brutal truth is - we need Brits to have more children. We are dying out. The fertility rate in England and Wales has fallen to its lowest ever level on record, just 1.44 children per woman. Think about what that means... This is not good. What's happening? We're importing millions of low-skilled migrants, and our own people are not having enough kids. There's no point just moaning - we need serious policy to reverse this, and urgently. The most important move is to brutally slash tax across the board. Messing around with subsidies for this and that won't solve the fundamental issue. Parents don't need to hand their salary to the state, to have it returned with all sorts of strings attached. Let them decide how THEIR money is spent. There is so much we need to properly consider. Spousal visa reform, front-loading child benefits, combat anti-natalist narratives, further tax breaks for parents, VAT reform, reverse Labour's assault on private schools, scrap interest on student loans, tax advantages for childcare and more. Not forgetting the impact of immigration, particularly on housing where prices have been driven to outrageous levels exactly because of uncontrolled mass immigration. As we all know, it needs to be drastically slashed. British people should have absolute priority for social housing over foreign nationals. Legal migrants who come here must be capable of housing themselves. If they can't do that? They should leave. Those homes should be for British families. We generally need to make Britain a safe and pleasant place where parents feel comfortable raising their children. There is a LONG way to go. I understand that. But look. I don't have all the answers. I do know, this is definitely a conversation we need to have. We need British men and women to have more children. It's that, or we will eventually die out. Our rotten establishment has made the country such an awful place to live, people are more and more reluctant to raise a child here. That can be changed, but we don't have long to do so. Having children, raising a family - these are positive things. We should celebrate and encourage them.
