The First-Year Charter

Ten things we do straight away

The promise: No five-year wait to see if anything changed. In year one, ten concrete actions — and you watch them land on the dashboard.

  1. Turn on the National Spending Dashboard — every payment, contract and supplier public within 24 hours.
  2. Freeze big government IT buying — pause anything over £10m for a 90-day value-and-sovereignty review.
  3. Cap consultants — no new engagement over £500k without the PM’s written sign-off.
  4. Freeze and audit foreign aid — keep disaster and life-saving relief; pause the rest until it’s audited.
  5. End the carer’s cliff-edge — scrap the trap that punishes carers the moment they earn.
  6. Set up Utilico — the public utility company; start taking over failing water and energy suppliers.
  7. Set up Transitco — the public transport company; one card, one fare, under-18s free.
  8. Build FlameOS GOV — a 200-person sovereign tech team; first job, a single government login.
  9. Start the Palmer Budget — VAT 20%→15%, Carer’s Allowance to £125/week (no cap on hours worked), minimum wage to £15/hour, first £5bn for nuclear.
  10. Hold the first Confidence Vote — every 5th November the public decides whether we continue.

Year one is not a plan for later. It’s a receipt you can read by Christmas.


The charter above is the plain-English promise. Below is the original brief in full — reconstructed archive document, with the costed detail.

The Ten Immediate Reforms

First-Year Actions

Status: Reconstructed archive document
Purpose: First-year action list for a new NRSA government.


1. Launch the National Spending Dashboard

Every payment, contract, supplier, department, target, and outcome published within 24 hours.

Purpose: end hidden spending and make waste visible before it compounds.


2. Freeze Major Government IT Procurement

Pause all new government IT procurement over £10 million pending a 90-day sovereignty and value-for-money review.

Purpose: stop new outsourced dependency before FlameOS GOV can assess whether systems can be built in-house.


3. Cap Consulting Spend

No new consulting engagement above £500,000 without written PM approval.

Purpose: force departments to use internal capability or justify why they cannot build it.


4. Freeze and Audit Foreign Aid

Continue disaster relief and life-saving humanitarian commitments. Freeze non-urgent aid pending audit.

Purpose: redirect non-essential spending to domestic infrastructure, carers, utilities, and public systems.


5. Suspend the Carer’s Allowance Earnings Cliff Edge

Immediate statutory instrument removing the binary income trap.

Purpose: stop punishing carers for working and prepare the route to £125/week carer recognition, with no cap on the hours a carer can work.


6. Establish Utilico

Create the statutory utility corporation and begin acquisition assessment of failing water and energy suppliers.

Purpose: end dividend extraction from essential utilities and move to cost-plus-maintenance pricing.


7. Establish Transitco

Create the statutory public transport corporation.

Purpose: one card, one timetable, one fare structure, under-18s free, rural service treated as infrastructure.


8. Assemble FlameOS GOV

Recruit a 200-person sovereign technology core team from open source, small UK firms, and competent civil service maintainers.

First deliverable: unified government authentication replacing fragmented identity systems.


9. Begin the Palmer Budget Path

First Budget actions:


10. Hold the Annual Public Confidence Vote

First November 5th vote.

If yes: continue.
If no: Parliament dissolves and a general election is held within 60 days.

Purpose: make the government answer annually to the public, not just internally to party machinery.
