Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Stop sending foreign aid when our own country's gone to the dogs!
Why are we still chucking billions of pounds overseas when our roads are full of potholes and my daughter, the teacher, can barely afford her rent? It’s madness, frankly. We’ve got people struggling to make ends meet right here, yet we’re f
Let's Not Forget Our Global Neighbours
I was talking to a friend who just got back from volunteering in a refugee camp in Greece and it really made me think about our foreign policy. She was telling me about the families she met and the stories they shared, and it was heartbreak
Let's Get Serious About Diplomacy, Not Just Patronage
I mostly agree with the sentiment here, but the focus on "accountable diplomats" misses a bigger point. It's not just about who gets appointed to ambassadorships; it's about having a coherent, strategic foreign policy that these diplomats a
Put Real Workers in Charge of Foreign Affairs, Not Toffs
The idea of having Parliament rubber-stamp diplomatic appointments is a start, but it doesn't go far enough. It's not just about who gets the job, it's about what they actually do once they're there. We’ve got too many people in positions o
Stop Wasting Our Money. Fund Our NHS Properly.
This sounds like another load of politician talk. They always say they want to fund the NHS, but then they don’t. This idea of bonds sounds complicated. Why do we need private money involved? The NHS is supposed to be for us, not for making
Let's Get Proper People in Charge of Town Hall Jobs
It’s all well and good talking about diplomats, chuck, but what about the people running things right here in Grimsby? We’ve got council positions that seem to go to whoever’s got the loudest voice or the right mates, not necessarily the on
Put Belfast First, Not Last in Line
I think the idea of prioritizing local needs over global ambitions is sound, but it needs to be applied with a bit more nuance, especially in a place like Northern Ireland where we're often forgotten until it's too late. We've got our own u
Our Children Deserve More Than Just Promises: Real Investment in Education
It’s easy for politicians to talk about the future, but for those of us on the front lines, the future is in our classrooms right now. My priority, like most parents and teachers, is ensuring our children get the education they deserve, not
Law and Order: Rebuilding Trust, Not Just Rhetoric
It’s all well and good talking about community hubs and school resources, but if people don’t feel safe walking down their own streets, none of that matters. My priority, and frankly it should be everyone’s, is ensuring the rule of law is u
Stop Wasting Time on Unaccountable Diplomats
We should introduce a new system of parliamentary approval for all major diplomatic appointments, so we can hold these people to account for their actions. I'm fed up with the idea that some lord or other can just swan off to a fancy emba
Investing in Britain's Future: Strong Schools, Strong Communities
It’s easy to get caught up in talk of global influence when you’re in Westminster, but the reality on the ground for families here in Manchester is very different. My priority, and I suspect most people’s, is ensuring our kids have the best
Prioritise Pints And Pensions: Britain First, Then Brussels
I can see the point about looking after your own patch first. It’s common sense, really, much like making sure the roof isn’t leaking before you start worrying about the neighbour’s garden. Our own communities are where we see the real impa
Small Business Owners Back The NHS
As someone who runs three coffee shops in Birmingham, I see the impact of the NHS on our community every day. My staff and customers are all affected by the quality of our healthcare system, and I believe we need to think creatively about h
Scotland's NHS deserves better than Westminster's wars
As a nation, we need to get our priorities straight, and for me, that means putting the health and wellbeing of our people first. I'm aye frustrated by the lack of investment in our NHS, while Westminster continues to squander billions on m
NHS Funding Over Vanity Projects
I've looked at the numbers and it's clear we need to rethink our spending priorities. The NHS is struggling to keep up with demand, and it's not just a matter of throwing more money at the problem. We need to make sure that funding is targe
Sort Grimsby First, Then Worry About World Affairs
Look, I’m not saying we shouldn’t have a strong defence, my dad always said you need to look after your own house. But the idea that we’re supposed to be running around sorting out everyone else’s problems when our own high street is strugg
Stop Arming Dictators For Profit
I think we should stop selling arms to countries with terrible human rights records, it's that simple. We're always talking about promoting democracy and freedom, but at the same time we're selling guns to regimes that are killing their own
Lend with caution, invest in our communities
I'm not convinced that our foreign loan schemes are doing enough to benefit local people, to be honest. We've got youth centres like mine in Bradford struggling to stay afloat, and yet we're still sending millions abroad. It's not that I do
UK must prioritize national security loans
I'm getting a bit tired of these loan schemes that seem to benefit everyone but our own country, to be honest. We've got our own issues to deal with, what with the state of our economy and the pressure on our public services. It's all well
UK should offer work visas to foreign students after graduation
I've seen so many talented students come through my coffee shops, working part time while they study, and it's a shame when they have to leave the country as soon as they graduate. They've already built a life here, made friends, and learne
