Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Enough with the Westminster hand-me-downs – let Wales talk to its neighbours properly!
It drives me mad seeing Wales treated like some distant outpost, always looking to London for cues on how to engage with the world. We’re not some isolated island nation; we're part of Europe, with strong historical and cultural ties to our
Let's talk to Ireland properly, not just about borders.
I was talking to my mate Siobhan the other day, her mam’s from County Cork. They’ve been over here in Hebden Bridge for twenty years now, and she was telling me how her mum still gets misty-eyed when she talks about visiting home. It’s not
Time to ditch the 'special relationship' for something more honest
I was talking to my mate, who works for a charity that does aid work in the Middle East, the other day. He was telling me about how much harder it is for them to get things done on the ground because of the constant meddling from bigger pow
Enough with the photo ops, let's actually help people abroad!
I was watching the news the other night and they were showing some politician visiting a refugee camp somewhere far away, shaking hands and smiling for the cameras. It just struck me, what’s the point if nothing actually changes for those p
Drones are a recipe for disaster
I was talking to my husband Mark the other night about the latest news from Ukraine and he mentioned how some of his clients are getting nervous about the escalating situation. It got me thinking about how we're getting drawn into this conf
Stop wasting money on foreign wars, fund Britain instead
This junior doctor bloke has got a point about where the money goes, but he's looking at it all wrong. It’s not about selling weapons, it’s about the government pouring billions into pointless conflicts and foreign aid that never seems to h
Why Are We Still Giving Aid To Countries That Hates Us?
What's the point of sending our hard-earned cash overseas to governments that openly condemn our values or, worse, actively work against our interests? It feels like we're funding our own opposition, and frankly, that's just daft. We pour m
Stop Funding Regimes That Abuse Kids
I was talking to a mum from Yemen the other day, her kid's been injured in a bombing and she's struggling to get them medical help, it's heartbreaking. She told me the UK government's still selling arms to the Saudis, who are basically resp
Stop arming oppressors, it's a Labour issue
I've seen my fair share of trauma as a junior doctor, but nothing compares to the stories I've heard from colleagues who've worked in war zones. The reality is that our goverment's arms sales are contributing to the very conflicts that are
Stop Subsidising Tyrants with Taxpayer Funds
I've always thought it's hypocritical that we condemn human rights abuses while selling arms to dictators, it's a contradictory policy that needs reform. As someone who's worked with international clients, I've seen how other countries like
Stop Wasting Cash on Foreign Aid
I'm sick of seeing our government throw money at foreign countries while our own towns are falling apart. I mean what's the point of giving millions to some dictator in Africa when our own pensioners are struggling to heat their homes. It's
Stop Sending Aid to Countries That Don't Even Trade With Us
I was talking to Mrs. Higgins from down the road last week. Her son's in the forces, stationed out in some godforsaken desert I can't even pronounce the name of. He's out there, risking his life, and for what? So we can send millions of pou
Stop selling arms to dictators, it's just wrong and bad for business
My mate Dave’s lad joined the army a few years back, keen as mustard. He ended up doing a tour in Yemen. Saw some awful stuff out there, he told me. Said they were rebuilding schools and hospitals one minute, then saw the aftermath of bombs
Stop Propping Up Dictators with Our Aid
I was at a medical conference in London last year and met a doctor from Yemen who told me about the devastation caused by the ongoing civil war. He described how hospitals were being bombed and medical supplies were scarce, and it struck me
Why are we still pretending sanctions actually work? Time for a different tack.
When did we decide that crippling a nation's economy with sanctions was somehow a more effective tool than, say, talking to them? It feels like we’ve been doing this for decades with predictably dismal results, only now with added complexit
Enough is enough: Foreign aid needs to serve British interests first, not just global virtue signalling.
With all due respect, does anyone actually understand why we send billions in foreign aid every year, often to countries that openly oppose us or where the money just disappears? It’s baffling. We have struggling communities here in Tunbrid
Enough With The Grandstanding, Let's Actually Help People Abroad
I was talking to a mate who works for one of those big international aid charities the other day. He was telling me how much of their budget gets eaten up by the administrative costs of setting up new projects, dealing with endless paperwor
Should we really be telling developing countries how to run their economies?
What's the point of giving aid if we attach so many strings that it ends up being more about us than them? We often hand over money with all these conditions about market liberalisation, austerity, and so on, supposedly to make them more 's
Scrap Foreign Aid Waste Now
I'm sick of seeing my tax money being thrown away on foreign aid to countries that don't even like us. It's like we're being taken for fools, with billions of pounds being squandered on projects that never seem to achieve anything. I've wor
Stop Wasting Our Money Abroad – Focus on Britain and Real Trade, Not Handouts
I was looking at some government figures the other day, as you do, and the sheer amount of money we still send overseas in foreign aid is just staggering. We're talking billions every year, often to countries that don't seem to have our bes
