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 "access" waffle, let's actually fix the GP crisis.
Why are we still pretending that just "increasing access" to GPs is the magic bullet when everyone knows the system is already creaking at the seams? It’s like saying you’ll solve traffic jams by making it easier to get onto the motorway –
Dignity in Dying: A Compassionate End to Suffering, Not a Shortcut for the State
It’s absolutely right that we talk about dignity at the end of life. No one should have to endure unnecessary suffering. However, I’m deeply uneasy about the focus on assisted dying as the primary solution. My concern, as a teacher and a mu
Every school should have a proper counsellor, not just a poster on a wall
A poster saying its OK not to be OK is not mental health provision. It is a poster. Every school should have a trained counsellor available at least 3 days a week. Not a teaching assistant who did a two day course. A qualified counsellor w
Enough with Westminster fiddling while Scotland's NHS burns. Time for a real fix.
Why are we still relying on a system designed for another country, especially when it’s clearly not working for us up here? Our NHS is meant to serve Scotland, not English targets or whatever Whitehall thinks is important this week. It’s ti
Make it illegal to build housing estates without a GP surgery
New estate of 500 homes went up near us last year. Lovely houses. Absolutely no infrastructure. No GP surgery. No school places. No bus route. No pharmacy. No park. Five hundred families all trying to register at a practice that was alread
Invest in Schools, Not Just Pills: A Real Health Revolution
This idea about pharmacies has some merit, I'll grant you. My partner Jade, who's a midwife, sees the strain on the front lines of healthcare daily. Making it easier for people to get basic help for minor issues makes sense on the surface,
Scrap the NHS lottery system
What's the point of having a national health service if you can't even get a doctor's appointment when you need one, I mean I've had passengers who've had to wait months for a routine checkup. I was talking to a bloke in the back of my
Sort Out The NHS Waiting Lists Already
I had a passenger the other day, poor bloke, been waiting for a knee replacement for over a year, and he's still got no date for the op. He's in agony, can barely walk, and it's affecting his job, his family, everything. I've seen this time
GPs should offer same-week appointments for everyone over 65
My mum is 78. Last time she rang her surgery the next appointment was in 19 days. At her age things change fast. Guarantee same-week GP appointments for everyone over 65. Not triage. Not a form. An actual doctor within 7 days.
Scrap the NHS waiting list nonsense
I'm proposing we overhaul the NHS waiting list system to focus on urgent care first, rather than just who's been waiting the longest. This is needed because the current system is failing people who need immediate attention, prioritizing bur
Why Are We Letting Bureaucrats Run the NHS Instead of Patients?
How did we end up with a system where patients have to beg for treatments the NHS deems "too expensive," yet we spend billions on administrative bloat and opaque procurement processes? It’s madness. We've got a national institution, meant t
Scotland Needs Its Own NHS
I think Scotland should have its own fully autonomous National Health Service, free from Westminster control. This is needed because the current system is clearly not working for us, with decisions made in London that don't take into accoun
Dying with Dignity, Not Just a Privilege
As a Labour supporter and a teacher, I believe that the right to die with dignity should be a fundamental human right, not just a privilege for those who can afford it. The current system is failing those who are terminally ill, and it's ou
Fix Social Care Now
I was at the doctor's surgery with my mum the other day and saw an elderly woman, clearly in a lot of pain, being told she'd have to wait months for a care assessment. It wasn't right, and it's not the first time I've seen something like th
Sort Out Our Hospitals Already
I was at the hospital in Scunthorpe last week visiting my mate Dave, he's been in for a knee op, and the state of the place was shocking. The wards were understaffed, the equipment was outdated, and the waiting times were ridiculous. I saw
Enough is Enough! Let's Actually Fund Our NHS, Not Just Clap For It
I was in the GP waiting room last week, same as everyone else, and overheard this poor woman practically in tears. She’d been trying to get an appointment for her mum, who’s seriously unwell, for weeks. Kept getting palmed off, told the ear
Scrap the NHS Waiting Lists Madness
What's the point of having a national health service if you're just gonna end up waiting months for treatment, I mean it's like the system is designed to drive you mad. The thing is, it doesn't have to be this way, we could be investing m
Sick of the NHS waiting lists? Time to bring in some private sector common sense!
Honestly, the state of the NHS makes my blood boil. I’ve got mates waiting months for simple procedures, and then they’re complaining about the ‘efficiency’ of it all. It’s not rocket science. We’re pouring money into a system that’s become
Sort Out Our NHS
What's the point of having a national health service if you can't even get a doctor's appointment without waiting weeks, I mean come on. I've been saying it for years, the system's a mess and it's only getting worse. My proposal is to go ba
Seriously, why are we still relying on paper appointment letters? It's 2024!
Why are we still posting out paper appointment letters for the NHS? We know half of them get lost, arrive late, or are just ignored. It’s a ridiculous waste of time and money, and it’s actively making waiting lists worse because people miss
