Ditch the US-centric foreign policy already
I'm sick of seeing our government jumping to the tune of the US, it's embarrassing. We're meant to be an independent nation but every time there's a major foreign policy decision to be made, we're always sucking up to the Americans. I've ha
Scotland's True North: A Compassionate Home for All
It's genuinely disheartening to see the way some in Westminster talk about people seeking asylum, as if they're a problem to be locked out rather than individuals fleeing unimaginable hardship. As a nation, Scotland has always been a welcom
Another Westminster PM, same old story. Wales needs its own voice on the world stage, not just a bystander.
It drives me absolutely mad how we’re constantly told about how this new UK Prime Minister, whoever it happens to be, is viewed by the US or China or whoever else. It’s always about ‘Britain’ or ‘the UK’, and Wales is just presumed to be pa
Securing Our Borders and Making Aid Work for Britain
It’s easy to get caught up in the stories you hear, but we need to remember that foreign policy has to serve our own country’s interests first. We have our own challenges here at home, with stretched services and local communities strugglin
who needs westminster in scottish sport
what's the point of having a scottish football association if westminster's just going to stick its oar in whenever it feels like it, I mean come on, can't we just make our own decisions for once, it's not like the scottish fa is incapable
Diplomats Not Pawns
I've seen my fair share of bureaucracy in the army and now in civvy life, and it's a right old mess. Appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff shouldn't be about who you know, it should be about who's got the skills for the job. Th
Diplomats for the People
I think the current system of appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff is a joke, it's all about who you know, not what you can do. We need to take the power out of the hands of politicians and put it in the hands of the people. T
Compassion is Vital, But So Is a Practical Plan for Public Services
It’s easy to talk about compassion from an armchair, but out here on the wards, we see what happens when people are forced to flee their homes. The stories are real, the trauma is real — and these people turn up needing help, right now. The
Less Red Tape, Better Diplomats
Appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff is currently bogged down in layers of bureaucracy and political patronage. We need to streamline this process, not add more committees. The focus should be on meritocracy and efficiency, no
People Over Borders
I've seen the impact of cuts to local services in Bolton and it's made me think about what we can do to help people in our own community before we start looking abroad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should turn a blind eye to the st
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
