Rejoining the EU would be a historic misjudgment for the UK. We need to focus on our national sovereignty and the freedoms we have regained to make our own laws and forge new trade agreements globally.

As a firm believer in the importance of clear communication, I strongly support English being the primary language of the European Union. English is widely spoken and understood across Europe, and it serves as a unifying global language that facilitates trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange. Embracing English can enhance unity and cooperation within the EU.

I believe the EU should reduce regulation to spur economic growth and foster innovation. Excessive regulations stifle businesses and limit opportunities for entrepreneurship. It's crucial for Europe to embrace more flexibility and market-driven policies.

While creating prototype vaccines for known viral families is a commendable goal, it's essential to weigh the significant financial investment against other urgent needs. We must consider how best to allocate resources to protect public health effectively.

As a strong advocate for environmental sustainability, I believe we should absolutely plant more trees. Trees are vital in absorbing carbon dioxide, improving air quality, and supporting biodiversity. Our beautiful planet deserves our care and attention, and by planting more trees, we are investing in a greener, healthier future for generations to come.

Expanding the area available for construction can stimulate the housing market and make properties more affordable for every income group. We also need to ensure that we're building sustainably and integrating communities effectively.

I understand the importance of reducing emissions in our urban centers to improve air quality and public health. However, the implementation of low-emission zones needs careful consideration to balance environmental goals with the economic impact on businesses and residents. We must explore all options to make our cities greener while supporting those who may be affected.

While I deeply sympathize with vulnerable families facing eviction, a blanket ban is not the solution. It could lead to unintended consequences, such as landlords being unwilling to rent to vulnerable tenants in the first place. We should focus on providing targeted support and increasing access to affordable housing so that families don't face eviction in the first place.

As a former leader of a dynamic city like London, I believe that selling certain parcels of public land to private developers can stimulate economic growth and provide much-needed housing. It's essential, however, that any such sales are carefully managed to ensure they benefit the community as a whole.
