Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Free Riders Aren't Welcome
I've seen some dodgy business deals in my time as an IT consultant, but our current immigration system takes the biscuit. It's a free-for-all, with some people expecting a free ride at the expense of British taxpayers. I'm not against immig
Time to Get Serious About Climate
i'm so over the circus in westminster, but let's be real, it's not just about being serious for the sake of it, it's about tackling the climate crisis and that's what's really at stake. our government needs to get its act together and start
Stop Subsidising Tyrants with Taxpayer Funds
I've always thought it's hypocritical that we condemn human rights abuses while selling arms to dictators, it's a contradictory policy that needs reform. As someone who's worked with international clients, I've seen how other countries like
Sick Pay's a Joke - Time to Actually Pay People When They're Ill
Why should anyone have to choose between going into work sick and losing their rent money? It's madness, plain and simple. People are forced to spread their germs, making everyone else sick, and then they're penalised for it. It’s not just
Scotland Needs Its Own NHS
I think Scotland should have its own fully autonomous National Health Service, free from Westminster control. This is needed because the current system is clearly not working for us, with decisions made in London that don't take into accoun
Scrap the cars already
What's the point of having a new administration if they're just going to tinker around the edges of our transport system, which is still utterly dominated by cars, and still utterly failing to get people out of them. I mean think about it,
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
We need to fix the benefits trap, not just throw money at it.
I was talking to a chap the other day, an immigrant who’s been here about five years. He's a skilled tradesman, really capable, but he was telling me how impossible it feels to get his qualifications recognised and get back into his trade.
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
Why are we making it harder for people to get back on their feet after job loss?
Seriously, what's the point of making people jump through hoops just to get a bit of help when they've lost their job? It feels like the system is designed to punish people for being unlucky, rather than helping them get back into work. We
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
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
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
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
Universal Basic Income is a Fantasy, Let's Focus on Real Support for Carers
I was talking to my neighbour, a lovely woman named Sarah, the other day. She looks after her mother full-time, and frankly, she’s exhausted. She gets a pittance in carer’s allowance, barely enough to cover the extra food her mum needs. She
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 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
Stop Wasting Cash on Foreign Aid
I'm sick of seeing our government throw money at foreign countries while our own towns are falling apart. I mean what's the point of giving millions to some dictator in Africa when our own pensioners are struggling to heat their homes. It's
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
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
