Borrow the best policies, fix the ones you don't like, and craft a manifesto that finally makes sense.
Safer streets, fairer justice
Policing, sentencing, prisons, rehabilitation. How would you do justice better?
Enough with the "levelling up" nonsense. Let's actually balance the books.
I was down in Dover last week visiting my sister, and you can't help but notice the strain. So many new faces, and frankly, it feels like the local infrastructure is creaking under the pressure. The shops are packed, the buses are full, and
Enough with the endless red tape strangling small business! Time for some common sense.
Why do we make it so incredibly difficult for someone with a good idea and a bit of grit to actually start and run a business? It feels like every other week there's a new form to fill, a new regulation to decipher, a new box to tick that s
scrap business rates for pubs
what's the point of having a system that punishes pubs for having a decent location, I mean my business rates have gone up just because the area's gotten a bit more popular, it's like they want us to fail. I was talking to one of my regul
Scrap the licence fee already
I'm sick of being forced to pay for the BBC just because I own a telly, it's like they think I'm made of money or something. Every year it goes up and up, and for what, so they can spout their lefty nonsense and make programmes that nobody
Time to Make Corporations Pay Their Fair Share
So why are massive corporations getting away with paying basically no tax while I'm out here on the North Sea working my arse off to keep the lights on. It's just not right that they're making billions off our natural resources and our labo
Pay Carers A Living Wage Already
I'm proposing that carers like me should get a proper wage, not the pathetic Carer's Allowance that barely covers the bills. We're not just sitting at home twiddling our thumbs, we're working 24/7 to care for our loved ones and it's about t
Tax the rich to save the planet
I'm proposing a new wealth tax to help fund the transition to renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. We need this because climate change is already having a devastating impact on our planet and it's only going to get worse if we don'
Seriously, another 'growth at all costs' budget? Bristol needs investment, not just more debt.
I was walking through Old Market the other day and saw the most heartbreaking sight. A family, probably on their way home from school, queuing outside a food bank. It’s utterly grim, isn’t it? We’re told the economy is doing well, yet I see
Scrap VAT on repairs to boost small trades
I was out on a job the other day, fixing a boiler for a customer in Mapperley, and they were moaning about the cost of the repair, and I'm thinking, it's not just the parts and labour, it's the VAT on top that's killing them. This got me th
Cut the Red Tape Already
What's the point of having a government that claims to support small businesses when they just suffocate us with regulations and bureaucracy. I mean think about it, every time I try to expand my plumbing business I've got to fill out a doze
Red Tape Reform for People Not Profits
I've seen firsthand the impact of bureaucracy on the NHS, where we're drowning in paperwork and targets, rather than focusing on patient care. It's the same for small businesses and entrepreneurs, who are stifled by regulations and forms. B
Tax the rich to fund our schools
I think we should introduce a wealth tax to fund our public schools, it's about time the rich paid their fair share to ensure every kid gets a decent education. This is needed because our schools are struggling to make ends meet, with teach
The Royal Mail is a universal service. Regulate it like one, not like a parcels startup.
Last week a Royal Mail delivery driver knocked on my door to hand me a parcel addressed to a neighbour two streets over. She had given up. The van was running. The backlog of redirected parcels in the back was, by my rough count, about fort
Let's Cut the Bureaucracy That's Strangling Small Businesses, Not Argue With Old PMs
We need a radical simplification of business regulations to truly boost the economy. The current system is a tangled mess that disproportionately burdens new and small enterprises, stifling innovation and job creation. My proposal is for a
Stop outsourcing critical public services to Capita, Serco and friends. They keep failing. We keep paying.
A non-exhaustive list of things Capita has been paid large sums of public money to mess up: Army recruitment. The contract was so badly managed that recruitment fell by 30% in the first year. They kept the contract. Teachers pensions. The
Scrap Business Rates for Small Shops and Cafes - It's Killing Our High Streets!
We need to get rid of business rates for independent shops and cafes entirely. This is crippling small businesses, especially in my industry. I've seen so many good places close down because the rates are just unsustainable, even when they’
Time to actually invest in NI businesses, not just talk about it
We need a dedicated Northern Ireland Investment Fund, managed locally and focused on sustainable growth rather than just speculative ventures. This fund would be seeded with a significant portion of the money currently allocated to various
Restore public sector pay to 2010 real-terms levels over five years. It is overdue.
The IFS calculates that a typical public sector worker earns around 9% less in real terms than they did in 2010. That is sixteen years of effective pay cuts. For nurses, teachers, police officers, civil servants. For the people who stepped
make public transport free for all
we should make all public transport free to use, funded by taxing big corporations and the wealthy, this would not only help the environment by reducing the number of cars on the road but also help low income families who struggle to pay fo
Scrap the pointless apprenticeship schemes already
I'm so fed up with the government's apprenticeship schemes, they're just a waste of money if you ask me. My son's friend did one and it was just a cheap way for a company to get free labor, he didn't learn anything useful and now he's strug
