Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Bus lanes should only operate when buses actually run
The bus lane on the A370 is in operation 24 hours a day. Seven days a week. I drove down it at 10:30pm on a sunday in february and there was one car in front of me, no buses anywhere, and about a mile of empty bus lane I wasnt allowed to us
Fix roads with dedicated funding
I’m genuinely at the end of my tether with the state of our roads. It feels like we’ve quietly accepted that crumbling surfaces, endless potholes and patchwork repairs are just how things are now - they shouldn’t be. As a teacher I see the
Trains should cost less than driving the same journey
Peak return Reading to London: £52 Petrol for the same journey: £12 Even with parking its cheaper to drive In what world does that make sense for a country that says it wants fewer cars on the road? Rail fares in the UK are the highest in
Stop closing rural post offices and bus routes then wondering why villages die
There is a pattern that repeats across rural England and it goes like this. First the bus route gets cut because its not commercially viable. Then the post office closes because footfall dropped when the bus stopped. Then the pub closes bec
Scrap the Motorway Expansion Plans
I think we should cancel all plans to expand our motorway network and instead invest in better public transport and cycle routes. This is because our roads are already congested and adding more lanes won't solve the problem, it'll just enco
Fix Our Crumbling Bus Service
I was on the bus home from school the other day and it broke down on the outskirts of Harpenden, leaving all of us stranded for over an hour. This isn't the first time it's happened and it's a wonder the thing gets us to our destinations at
Parking fines shouldnt be a revenue stream for councils
My council made 4.2 million quid in parking fines last year. Four point two MILLION. Thats not enforcement. Thats a business model. And it means every decision they make about signage, yellow lines, and parking zones is quietly shaped by
Make the Channel Tunnel one-way on alternate days for fairness
The Channel Tunnel currently operates in both directions simultaneously, which seems unnecessarily European. A more sensible, more British approach would be to have it go one way on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the other way on Tues
Ban all through-traffic on our road but maintain our divine right to drive everywhere else
The traffic on our road is terrible. Something must be done. Specifically, a Low Traffic Neighbourhood that prevents other people from using our road as a shortcut. This is about safety, air quality, and the children. However, the proposed
Roadworks that overrun should cost the contractor, not the taxpayer
There are roadworks near my house that were supposed to take 6 weeks. We are on week 14. I have seen someone actually working there maybe three times. Here is what should happen: - Every contract gets a hard completion date - For every we
Scrap the idiotic HS2 project already
I'm sick of hearing about the HS2 debacle, it's been years of delays and cost overruns, and for what, so a bunch of suits can get to London a bit quicker, it's a complete waste of money. The estimated cost is now over 100 billion pounds, it
Using AI for age checks on kids seeking safety? We need to talk.
So, are we really saying a computer algorithm knows better than doctors when it comes to figuring out if a young person is a child or pretending to be? It feels like we’re outsourcing basic human judgment to a black box, and frankly, it’s w
National Pothole Act
Britain's roads have become so bad that Tony Robinson has been filmed retreiving a Saxon hoard from the middle of the A38. It's time to stop treating our suspension like a piñata at a Year 6 disco. 1. The "Heritage Hole" Reclassification
Every pothole reported should be fixed within 14 days or the council pays you £50
I hit a pothole on the A38 last October. Two tyres and an alloy wheel. Reported it. Got told it was scheduled for assessment. That was five months ago. The policy: - Report a pothole through an official channel - If its not fixed within 1
Speed bumps that wreck your car should be removed and the council should pay for the damage
Some speed bumps are so aggressive they damage cars driven at the posted speed limit. If a speed bump wrecks your suspension at 20mph the council should pay for the repair. End of.
Enough is enough! Our trains are a national disgrace.
It's utterly infuriating. Every time I need to visit my daughter in London, I face the same dismal experience: delays, cancellations, and overcrowded carriages. You'd think a country that pioneered railways would manage to run them halfway
How are we supposed to get to the next village without a car? Ridiculous!
Why are we still pretending everyone drives everywhere, especially in rural areas? We've got perfectly good buses going past Bakewell, but they run about as often as a hen lays a golden egg, and only to the big towns. It’s completely imprac
Enough with the Pothole Lottery – Just Fix Them Properly!
We need a national, standardised approach to road maintenance, starting with potholes. It’s ridiculous that the quality of road repair depends entirely on which local council you live in. Some areas seem to get decent patches, while others
