So many manifestos — who has the answers?

you would vote for.
Borrow the best policies, fix the ones you don't like, and craft a manifesto that finally makes sense.
Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Enough with the Net Zero Madness, Let's Get Real About Energy
I’m sick to death of hearing about Net Zero targets that seem to ignore basic physics and economics. We're meant to just wave a magic wand and have this perfect green energy system overnight, while people freeze and industries collapse. It’
Insulate every home in Britain by 2035 as the single biggest climate and poverty measure
The UK has some of the least energy-efficient housing stock in western Europe. Around 19 million homes have an EPC rating below C. These homes leak heat, cost more to run, and push people into fuel poverty. Improving them is simultaneously
Wales's green energy should benefit Wales, not London's coffers. It's time to take control.
It really grinds my gears, the hypocrisy of it all. We have some of the best natural resources in Europe for generating clean, renewable energy – miles of coastline for offshore wind, big tidal ranges, hydro opportunities in the mountains.
Solar panels on every new house – make it happen!
We need to mandate solar panels on all new housing developments. This isn't just about hitting green targets; it's about long-term cost savings for families and boosting our energy independence. Right now, energy bills are a massive worry
Bring water, rail, and energy into democratic public ownership
Privatisation was sold to us as a way to improve services through competition. Forty years on, we can assess whether that promise was kept. Water companies have accumulated £72 billion in debt while paying out £78 billion in dividends. Trai
Energy companies shouldnt make record profits while people cant heat their homes
British Gas made 750 million in profit in the first half of 2023. In that same period millions of people were choosing between heating and eating. If you cant see the problem with that sentence I dont know what to tell you. This isnt com
Let's get solar working for everyone, not just the roof-owners
I get the frustration about subsidies, especially when energy bills are so high. Seeing all those expensive solar arrays on some houses does make you wonder where the taxpayer money is going, particularly when you think about small business
Scrap the green tax on energy bills
I think we should get rid of the green tax on energy bills because it's just another way for the government to take our money and redistribute it to their favourite projects. This tax is supposed to fund renewable energy initiatives but fro
Scrap the green nonsense and drill for oil
I'm sick of paying through the nose for my heating bills just so some politician can feel good about themselves and their so-called green credentials. It's all well and good talking about saving the planet but when you're struggling to make
Community energy cooperatives with guaranteed grid access and fair export tariffs
Germany has over 800 energy cooperatives. Local communities own solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage. The profits stay local. Energy bills are lower. And public support for renewables is far higher than in countries where turbin
All new wind turbines must be invisible and silent and preferably in France
We are absolutely pro-renewable energy. Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation and we take it very seriously. We have a heat pump and everything. That said, the proposal for a wind farm on the ridge above Little Snoring
Enough of this green nonsense, what about keeping the lights on?
Barnaby and I were out on our walk yesterday morning, same as always, and saw young Tom down at the village pub looking absolutely furious. His gas boiler packed in on Monday, and he's been quoted nearly £15,000 for a heat pump and all the
A Balanced Energy Approach is Needed
As a long-time advocate for sensible policy, I am dismayed by the prevailing approach to energy production, which often prioritises ideology over pragmatism. The notion that we can abruptly transition to a fully green energy system is not o
Enough already with these insane energy bills for small businesses!
It's ridiculous. Every quarter I'm bracing myself for the new energy bill and it feels like a gamble with my businesses. We've absorbed so much cost over the last few years, from ingredients to wages, and the energy price hikes have been a
Full backing for solar farms — with some very reasonable conditions
The Nimby Liberation Front is fully committed to net zero and believes solar farms are an essential part of the energy transition. We support them wholeheartedly, subject to the following very reasonable conditions: — Not visible from a li
The Green party's 'unrealistic' ideas are the only realistic response to reality
I hear this criticism often, usually from people who consider themselves pragmatic: the Greens have nice ideas but they are not realistic. I understand the instinct. Some Green proposals do sound ambitious. A four-day working week. Universa
Energy Security: Common Sense Over Climate Alarmism
It’s utterly exhausting listening to these endless debates about Net Zero as if it’s some sort of religious commandment. Honestly, the obsession with hitting arbitrary targets seems to eclipse any real concern for what working families are
Solar for All, Not Just the Few
I was talking to a local business owner the other day, love, and he was saying how he's struggling to pay his energy bills, while some of the bigger houses in our area have got solar panels subsidised by the government. Now, I'm all for ren
Mandate a minimum vote share for parties to gain seats.
Seeing the results from Scotland makes you wonder about the effectiveness of our electoral system. It seems parties can win seats with a relatively small percentage of the vote, which doesn't always reflect broad public support. This can le
Scrap Subsidies for Big Energy Now
What's the point of giving massive subsidies to energy companies that are already raking it in, when we've got families struggling to pay their heating bills this winter. It's just common sense that we should be supporting people, not profi
