So many manifestos — who has the answers?
Create the party
you would vote for.
Borrow the best policies, fix the ones you don't like, and craft a manifesto that finally makes sense.
Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Government secrets are costing us, time to open the books and stop the hiding.
It makes me so mad when I hear about politicians just sitting on documents — like they own the information. We're out here struggling to pay the gas bill and they're in Westminster deciding what we get to know and when. It’s like they think
Protect judicial independence from political interference with a codified constitution
The United Kingdom is one of only three democracies without a codified constitution (the others being Israel and New Zealand). This means that fundamental rights and institutional arrangements exist largely through convention and statute, b
Enough’s Enough: We Need To Lock Up The Violent Thugs, Not Let Them Off With A Fine
The justice system needs a serious shake-up. My proposal is to introduce mandatory minimum sentences for crimes involving actual physical violence, especially those committed with weapons or against vulnerable people. We’ve seen far too man
Scrap Soft Sentencing for Repeat Offenders
I was reading in the local paper about a bloke who'd been arrested for the fifth time for burglary in our area, and I just about lost my temper. This guy's been in and out of court for years, always getting let off with a slap on the wrist,
Scrap all regulations and replace them with a strongly worded sign
Health and safety has gone mad. Not a bit mad. Completely mad. You cant climb a ladder without a certificate. You cant serve a scotch egg without a food hygiene inspection. You cant even have a bonfire without checking the wind direction an
Scrap the Youth Justice System
I think we should get rid of the youth justice system and treat young offenders like adults, they should face the consequences of their actions. It's time to stop mollycoddling them and expecting the rest of us to pay for their rehabilitati
Scrap Stop and Search, it's a racist mess
I was at the Brixton market last weekend and saw a kid, no more than 15, getting stopped and searched by the police. He was just standing there, minding his own business, and the next thing you know he's being told to empty his pockets. I'v
Protect civil service impartiality through Scottish oversight.
The recent kerfuffle about who civil servants can talk to highlights a perennial problem in Westminster. It seems they're always getting caught between politicians and their own professional judgment. This isn't just a London issue; it affe
End automatic early release for 'short' sentences - brings the whole system into disrepute.
The current system of automatically releasing prisoners serving less than four years after serving just half their sentence needs to end. It’s a policy born of a misguided attempt to manage prison overcrowding, not justice. Margaret and I w
Justice system failing rural Wales
I'm sick of seeing kids from round here getting locked up for minor stuff while city folk get off scot-free for worse crimes. It's like the system's stacked against us, no understanding of how things work in rural areas. I've seen lads get
Make climate impact assessment mandatory for all new legislation
Every piece of legislation that passes through Parliament has a financial impact assessment. It does not, as standard, have a climate impact assessment. This is an extraordinary omission given that climate change is the single issue most li
Enough with the endless legal dramas, sort out the courts
It drives me mad watching these endless court cases on the telly, dragging on for months, years even. It feels like the system is designed to bleed people dry, whether they're guilty or not. You hear about it down the pub too, people stuck
Pollution Isn't a Market Opportunity
I'm not sold on the idea that we should be relying on the market to clean up pollution, it seems like we're just passing the buck to corporations and hoping for the best. The original idea of introducing tradeable pollution permits might so
Scrap the soft justice nonsense
What's the point of having a justice system if it doesn't actually punish people for breaking the law, I mean think about it, we've got career criminals walking out of court with a slap on the wrist and a warning, it's absurd. The problem
Justice for kids abused by grooming gangs means proper sentences and deportation, not just a quick fix to make politicians look tough.
I see those kids every day at school, love. Little ones, some of them not much older than my grandkids. You just want to wrap them up and keep them safe from everything. When I hear about these gangs, honestly, it turns my stomach. It’s not
Restore Trust in Policing
We need to establish an independent review board to oversee policing practices and ensure accountability, this is the only way to rebuild trust in our police forces. As a retired headteacher I have seen firsthand how a lack of trust can ero
Scrap outdated laws blocking deportations
I think we should repeal or heavily amend outdated legislation that prevents the deportation of serious offenders, it's just common sense. This would allow us to get rid of people who have committed heinous crimes and are clearly not welcom
Time to Sort Out Our Busted Police Forces
We need to introduce a new system of community-led police accountability boards to oversee the running of local forces. I think this is needed because, let's be honest, the police have been getting away with some pretty questionable behavio
We need to get serious about funding local policing, not just have the usual empty promises.
It really grates when politicians stand up and talk about 'law and order' but never actually say where the money for it is going to come from. We see police stations closing, fewer bobbies on the beat, and then everyone acts surprised when
