The Manifesto

Four Demands. Zero Compromises.

A serious platform for unserious times — because the status quo has already run out of ideas.

01

The Freddo Standard

Peg nation-wide inflation directly to the price of a Cadbury Freddo. If the Freddo rises, the government falls.

02

Entry-Level Sanity Act

Outlaw requiring "5 years of experience" for entry-level positions paying minimum wage.

03

Universal Duvet Heating

State subsidies for energy bills for anyone wrapped in three blankets while working remotely.

04

National Rail Accountability

Cheaper train fares between Manchester and London than a second-hand jet.

Why the Cockroach

They Called Us the Pest. We Made It the Point.

For generations, immigrants and outsiders have been dehumanised with the same tired slur: “cockroaches.” A word used in headlines and hate speech to say some people are lesser, disposable, unwelcome.

So we took it. The cockroach is the ultimate survivor — it outlasts every crisis, every eviction notice, every attempt to stamp it out. That is the migrant story. That is the working-class story. That is our story.

We wear the name with pride. You cannot insult a movement that has already survived everything you threw at it.

Immigration Rights

The Cockroaches Who Keep Britain Running

Foreign students and migrant workers are labelled the “cockroaches” of the UK — good enough to serve your coffee, stack your shelves, nurse your grandparents, and pay international tuition, but never good enough to belong. We say enough. If we are the pests that hold this country together, then we demand the rights that come with it.

Right to Belong

International students and migrant workers keep this country running — in kitchens, care homes, warehouses, and lecture halls. Treat them as citizens-in-waiting, not disposable labour.

End the Visa Trap

No more £1,000s in fees, 20-hour work caps, and Graduate Visas that expire before the first real job offer arrives. Let people build a life, not just survive it.

Dignity Over Deportation

Stop the hostile-environment paperwork designed to exhaust people out of the country. Fast, fair, human decisions — not a Kafkaesque waiting game.

Same Work, Same Rights

Equal pay, equal protection, and equal healthcare access for every worker regardless of passport. A cockroach survives anywhere — but it deserves better than the shadows.
