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 is Enough! Universal Basic Income is the Only Way Forward.
It absolutely boils my blood seeing people struggle to make ends meet, working themselves to the bone for poverty wages. And for what? So some fat cat at the top can get even richer. We've got perfectly good resources, but they're hoarded b
Benefits system needs a shake-up: less hand-outs, more help into work
My proposal is to overhaul the existing social welfare system to significantly reduce long-term dependency on benefits, particularly housing benefits, by implementing stricter conditions for receipt and stronger incentives for employment. W
Westminster thinks cutting welfare is the answer. Wales needs control of its own social security funding.
Why do we always hear that cutting support for our own people is the path to national strength? It seems Westminster constantly views social security as a burden to be reduced, rather than an investment in the very fabric of our communities
Why Are We Still Throwing Money At Broken Systems Instead Of Just Fixing Them?
Seriously, how many more reports do we need telling us that the current social welfare system is an absolute mess? We've got people falling through the cracks, endless bureaucracy, and not enough actual support where it's needed. It feels l
Community Policing Needs Real Investment, Not Just Talk
It’s easy to talk about bobbies on the beat, but what does that actually mean when the social care system is collapsing around them? I see it every day. Our police are stretched so thin they’re dealing with issues that social workers should
Enough with the 'welfare to work' nonsense, pay people a decent wage instead
What’s the point of telling people they need to find work when the jobs available pay peanuts and don't even cover the basics? It’s a joke. My proposal is simple: a proper living wage, set by an independent body, that actually lets people l
Energy Bills So High They Make You See Stars? We Need Local Power, Not Just Promises.
I get what this policy is saying, and honestly, the idea of local energy is spot on. We’ve been talking about this for ages down at the centre. Parents are struggling to heat their homes, never mind pay for their kids' football kits. Solar
Pragmatic Policing Reform
I've always believed that effective policing is about empowering local communities, not just relying on top-down directives from central government. The idea of getting back to basics and having more bobbies on the beat is sensible, but it
Green Homes, Brighter Futures: Tackling the Root Causes of Inequality
The idea of investing in our neighbourhoods is spot on, but I think we need to be smarter about where that investment goes. Focusing solely on green energy infrastructure, while good, misses a crucial piece of the puzzle for people in commu
Local Policing For Wales, Not Westminster's Mess
This idea of local policing is a good one, but it's baffling that it's even a debate originating from Westminster. We've been saying for years that decisions about policing, like so many other things, should be made right here in Wales, not
Enough With The Paternalistic Bloat: Let People Manage Their Own Savings
It’s frankly astonishing how much red tape the government wraps around private savings. I spend my days wrestling with financial regulations for clients, and then I see these same officials creating labyrinthine rules for ordinary people tr
Common Sense Policing
I think it's time we got real about what works in policing, and that's giving local forces the freedom to make their own decisions, but with a bit of common sense. We can't just cut back on bureaucracy and expect everything to magically wor
energy not emergency services: invest in communities not cops
i get what they’re saying about needing to focus on community stuff instead of just policing. but calling it ‘green energy’ feels a bit tacked on. the real issue is that everything costs a fortune and people can’t afford to live, let alone
Community Policing: Restoring Trust, Ensuring Accountability
I agree with the sentiment that local policing is crucial, but the idea of simply cutting bureaucracy and hoping for the best isn't a sustainable solution. We need more than just "bobbies on the beat"; we need officers who are visible, resp
Back to Basics Policing
I think we've lost sight of what really matters in policing, which is having bobbies on the beat who actually know the local community. It's not about grand schemes or expensive initiatives, just getting back to basics. We need to give loca
Give Mayors Real Power Over Local Welfare
I think mayors should have the ability to design and implement their own welfare systems, tailored to the specific needs of their region. This would allow them to respond quickly to local issues, like poverty and homelessness, without havin
Rebuilding Our Streets: Visible Policing Rooted in Community Investment
This policy hits on something important: the need for a visible, accessible police presence. But we need to be clear that this isn't just about 'more police' in the abstract. It's about investing in the *kind* of policing that works with co
Empower Locals, Not Bureaucrats
As a former headteacher, I've seen firsthand the importance of local decision-making in shaping the services that matter most to our communities. However, I'm not convinced that simply giving local councils more autonomy is the solution to
Enough is Enough - Welsh Rural Communities Deserve Better Thancrumbs
I was in the post office in Machynlleth last week, and this elderly woman, a farmer's wife I think, was trying to pay her electricity bill. She had her passbook and was clearly distressed. The cashier, bless her, was trying her best, but th
Stop pretending social care is free, make everyone pay their proper share into a separate fund
We need a proper system for social care, not just kicking the can down the road and hoping for the best. My proposal is a dedicated Social Care Contribution. This would be a small, flat percentage added to everyone's National Insurance cont
