At the start, he wrote:

“Over many years it has become clear that our politicians have lost touch with the people they represent and govern. Moreover, our public institutions now work to an agenda beyond their main purpose.

“Our modern United Kingdom was borne out of the respectful inclusion of so many individual voices. It is steeped in the innate values of families and communities, diverse in the truest sense but united in the want and need to call this island home.”

Further, Laurence said that all the citizens of the UK are custodians of this shared heritage of the UK. He wants all to have feelings of respect and be part of the nation. The actor also revealed that many people have supported him in this new venture and added their voices to it.
