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.
Give Local Councils Real Power
We should give local councils more autonomy to make their own decisions on healthcare and social services, rather than being dictated to by central government. This is needed because every community is different and what works in one area w
Let's Get Serious About Community Policing, Not Just More Paperwork
The government needs to seriously rethink its approach to social welfare by reinvesting in local, visible policing and community support initiatives. Frankly, throwing more money at overarching national programs without strengthening the fa
Scrap Universal Credit for Local Support
I'm proposing we ditch Universal Credit and replace it with local support systems that actually understand the needs of our communities. This is needed because Universal Credit has been a disaster for people in towns like Grimsby, it's too
Sort Out Benefits For Our Own People First
I'm sick of seeing people who've never worked a day in their lives getting handed everything on a plate while my own kid is struggling to find a decent apprenticeship. It's a joke, the benefits system is broken and it's time someone did som
Scrap the Bureaucracy in Youth Services
I'm fed up with seeing kids in my community fall through the cracks because of all the red tape in our youth services. I run a youth centre in Bradford and it's heartbreaking to see talented young people not get the support they need becaus
Stop talking about 'levelling up' and actually fund carers properly in *our* towns
My proposal is to create properly funded, independent Local Carer Advisory Boards in every region, made up mostly of actual carers, to decide how social care money is spent in their areas. We need to stop pretending Whitehall knows best whe
Time to Put Community First
We need to start putting the needs of our local communities at the heart of decision making, rather than just paying lip service to the idea of a fair and prosperous society. I've seen it time and time again in Brixton, where big promises a
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
