Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
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
Serious Business Demands Serious Conduct: Westminster's Circus Must End
The current state of affairs in Westminster is more than just a turn-off for voters. It’s actively undermining the ability to conduct serious national and international business. When the place descends into shouting and personal attacks, i
Scrap First Past The Post Already
I'm proposing we switch to a proportional representation system because it's the only way to make our elections actually represent the people. We've been using first past the post for too long and it's led to a bunch of safe seats where the
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
Solar for All, Not Just the Few
I was talking to a local business owner the other day, love, and he was saying how he's struggling to pay his energy bills, while some of the bigger houses in our area have got solar panels subsidised by the government. Now, I'm all for ren
Stop selling arms to dictators, it's just wrong and bad for business
My mate Dave’s lad joined the army a few years back, keen as mustard. He ended up doing a tour in Yemen. Saw some awful stuff out there, he told me. Said they were rebuilding schools and hospitals one minute, then saw the aftermath of bombs
Lock 'em up, not laugh it off
What's the point of having a justice system if the people in charge are just gonna make jokes about it, I mean come on. You've got the defence secretary and some other high-up making light of prisoner release, it's a joke. I've seen some
Stop Sending Aid to Countries That Don't Even Trade With Us
I was talking to Mrs. Higgins from down the road last week. Her son's in the forces, stationed out in some godforsaken desert I can't even pronounce the name of. He's out there, risking his life, and for what? So we can send millions of pou
Leave my tax allowance alone, Andy. It’s not rocket science.
It’s frankly insulting that they even toy with the idea of fiddling with the tax-free allowance. It feels like they think we’re all stupid, just waiting for them to decide how much of our own money we’re allowed to keep. Carol and I work ha
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 rail franchising mess
What's the point of having a transport system that's more focused on making money for private companies than actually getting people from A to B on time, you know, it's like they're more interested in pleasing shareholders than commuters.
Simplify Research Funding, Not a Free-for-All
I understand the frustration with the current research funding system, it's a bureaucratic nightmare that can stifle innovation and waste valuable time. However, I'm not convinced that simply handing over a large sum of money to top univers
Why are we still pretending sanctions actually work? Time for a different tack.
When did we decide that crippling a nation's economy with sanctions was somehow a more effective tool than, say, talking to them? It feels like we’ve been doing this for decades with predictably dismal results, only now with added complexit
Why are we paying energy companies a fortune when my mum's heating is off again?
So, how much profit did the energy giants make last year while people like me are choosing between heating and eating? It’s honestly a joke. They get bailed out, we get told to wear jumpers. This new policy is simple: cap their profits at a
Sort Out Birmingham's Bloody Housing Crisis
I'm at my wit's end with the state of housing in Birmingham, it's like the council's just given up. I see families crammed into tiny flats, kids sharing bedrooms with their siblings, and it's just not right. I've worked with these families
Why Are We Paying People Not To Work When We Could Just Let Them Get On With It?
What’s the point of all these taxpayer-funded schemes and endless bureaucracy designed to get people into jobs that don't even exist? It's like trying to force a square peg into a round hole with a sledgehammer. We're pouring money down the
Should we really be telling developing countries how to run their economies?
What's the point of giving aid if we attach so many strings that it ends up being more about us than them? We often hand over money with all these conditions about market liberalisation, austerity, and so on, supposedly to make them more 's
Give Small Pubs a Break
I was talking to my regulars the other day and one of them mentioned how his mate's pub in Sutton Coldfield is struggling to stay afloat due to high business rates. It's a shame because that pub has been a staple of the community for years,
Enough with the solar panel subsidies, let's just get rid of them already!
I was chatting with my mate Dave the other week, he runs a small plumbing business. He’s been absolutely hammered by rising energy costs, like most small businesses. But he was also complaining about how he sees these fancy houses with rows
Scrap Subsidies for Fossil Fuels Already
I'm proposing we immediately end all government subsidies for fossil fuel companies, it's ridiculous we're still funding them when we know they're destroying the planet. We're basically paying them to contribute to climate change, which is
