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.
Safer streets, fairer justice
Policing, sentencing, prisons, rehabilitation. How would you do justice better?
Frankly, it’s past time we stopped talking and actually put proper digital protections in place for our children.
Frankly, how can we possibly expect children to navigate the digital world we’ve created for them without putting some serious safeguards in place? It just seems like we've let things get completely out of hand, hoping for the best when it
Paying France to build migrant camps? Madness. We need border control, not outsourcing.
I was talking to my mate Dave the other day, whose business exports machinery to Europe. He’s absolutely fuming about the endless paperwork and delays just to get a lorry through Calais. Now they’re talking about paying the French to build
Increase community safety funding
I'm bloody tired of seeing people get hurt because we're not doing enough to prevent it, and that's exactly what's happening with the rise in antisemitic attacks. It's not just a problem for the Jewish community, it's a problem for all of u
Tighten benefits by linking to job search activity, not just applications.
Too many ppl claim they're looking for work when they're just ticking boxes. It’s a waste of taxpayer money and frankly, it’s not fair on those who are genuinely trying to get back into employment. My proposal is that Universal Credit reci
Pay teaching assistants a proper living wage, or stop pretending schools function without them
A teaching assistant in my school earns £18,400 a year on the standard contract. That is term-time only, obviously, but even pro-rata that works out below the real living wage. We have TAs running small-group interventions, one-to-one suppo
Targeted skills training to help immigrants find jobs matching their qualifications.
It’s a persistent shame that so many highly skilled individuals arriving in the UK struggle to find work that uses their talents. We see doctors driving taxis and engineers stocking shelves, which benefits no one. This isn't just a loss for
Restore public sector pay to 2010 real-terms levels over five years. It is overdue.
The IFS calculates that a typical public sector worker earns around 9% less in real terms than they did in 2010. That is sixteen years of effective pay cuts. For nurses, teachers, police officers, civil servants. For the people who stepped
Stop Letting Everyone In Then Nobody's Scared
It’s all well and good talking about community safety but the real problem is too many people coming here and causing trouble in the first place. If we actually sorted out who’s allowed in and who isn’t, a lot of these issues would sort the
National duvet day when its raining and you just cant be bothered
Sometimes you just cant. You know the feeling. Its grey. Its February. The alarm goes off and your entire soul says no. We propose 12 statutory duvet days per year. No doctors note. No questions. You just text your boss a duvet emoji and
Free school meals for all primary school children, no exceptions
A child who has eaten a proper meal at lunchtime learns better in the afternoon. This isnt complicated and it isnt controversial and yet somehow we are still means-testing school dinners so that some families who need them dont apply becaus
A real living wage tied to the cost of living, not a political number
The "National Living Wage" is not a living wage. It is the minimum wage with a marketing rebrand. A genuine living wage is calculated based on what people actually need to live on, factoring in housing costs, food, transport, energy, and ch
National service reimagined as a voluntary civic year with real incentives
The proposal for mandatory national service was poorly conceived and rightly criticised. Compulsion breeds resentment, not civic spirit. But the underlying instinct that young people would benefit from a structured opportunity for service i
A universal basic income pilot at local authority scale
The theoretical arguments for and against UBI are well rehearsed. What we lack is robust UK-specific evidence. Finland ran a two-year trial involving 2,000 participants. The results showed improved wellbeing, higher trust in institutions, a
We will save £3.50 a year by making difficult decisions about childrens shoes
Look, nobody wants to cut the shoe allowance for under-fives. These are not the decisions we wanted to make. But we inherited a very difficult fiscal situation and we have to be honest with people about the choices ahead. By reducing the c
Raise taxes on high earners including me and stop pretending we can't afford public services
I earn well into six figures. I pay less tax as a percentage of my income than my employees do because capital gains is taxed lower than income. That is indefensible. We have a country where nurses use food banks, schools hold bake sales t
A proper integration programme for new arrivals, funded centrally and delivered locally
I think most people in this country, when they are being honest with themselves, accept that immigration has been broadly positive for Britain economically and culturally. But I also think most people, including those who support immigratio
Link the state pension to actual average earnings, not a formula nobody understands
Link the state pension to average earnings. Every year. No formulas nobody understands, no political games about whether this years increase is affordable. Pensioners deserve to know what theyre getting.
If you can work but WON'T work you should lose your benefits. Simple.
I worked 46 years. Started at 16 in a warehouse. Never claimed a penny. Now I see young lads down the road who haven't worked a DAY sitting around collecting benefits. New trainers. Takeaway every night. Latest phone. If you are fit and h
Benefits need 2 b 4 ppl who actually NEED them
imo benefits in this country have got way out of hand. I know ppl who r getting universal credit and working cash in hand on the side. Everyone knows someone doing it tbh. Pensioners who worked their whole lives deserve every penny. Ppl w/
Get Benefits Right, Not Just Tight
I've always thought the benefits system needs a bit of a shake-up, and this idea of linking payments to job search activity has some merit. The problem is, it's all a bit too Big Brother for my taste. We don't need some fancy digital tracki
