So many manifestos — who has the answers?
Create the party
you would vote for.
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.
Enough is enough – our own citizens deserve priority!
It beggars belief that we continue to pour vast sums into international aid and the upkeep of systems that seem to benefit everyone but the people of this country. I see it all the time with the youngsters I used to teach; a generation let
Why are we still arguing about basic decency a decade on?
You see these stories about Jo Cox's sister talking about common ground. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? We're a country that supposedly prides itself on politeness and community, yet we seem to be more divided than ever. It's like we've f
Proportional Representation isn't radical, it's just fair! Why are we still stuck in the dark ages?
I was chatting with my neighbour the other day, a lovely woman who works as a carer. She was telling me how she feels completely invisible politically. Her vote, she said, never seems to make a difference in her constituency because it’s al
This assisted dying bill is a distraction from real needs
Saw Mrs. Price down the village last week. She’s 89, sharp as a tack but frail. Her husband’s been gone ten years, and she told me she’s just lonely. Her GP visits once a month, a nurse calls in twice a week. It’s not enough. She needs more
Stop Wasting Money on Bureaucracy
I'm so fed up with the constant back and forth over defence spending, it's like they're more concerned with saving face than actually keeping our country safe. As a small business owner, I know how to balance a budget and make tough decisio
stop wasting our cash on green tokenism
what's the point of having all these fancy recycling schemes if most of it ends up in landfill anyway, I was talking to a friend who works at the local council and apparently it's a right old mess, they're just chucking it all in together a
Why Are We Still Paying For Kids To Memorise Useless Facts?
Seriously, why are we forcing kids to memorise dates or the exact population of Botswana when they can look that up in two seconds on their phone? It’s like teaching someone to churn butter when we have electric mixers. We're not preparing
Enough is enough! Young offenders need proper supervision, not just a slap on the wrist.
I saw young Jamie the other week, you know, the lad whose mum I used to teach, Sarah? He’s only 17 and already he’s been done for shoplifting twice. Sarah’s at her wits end. He’s not a bad kid, just bored and falling in with the wrong crowd
Put Real Workers in Charge of Foreign Affairs, Not Toffs
The idea of having Parliament rubber-stamp diplomatic appointments is a start, but it doesn't go far enough. It's not just about who gets the job, it's about what they actually do once they're there. We’ve got too many people in positions o
Scrap Free Uni for Rich Kids
I think we should stop giving free university tuition to kids from rich families, it's a waste of taxpayer money. We need to focus on helping ppl who actually need it, like low income families who can't afford to send their kids to uni. Rig
Enough with the endless plastic rubbish! My bins are overflowing.
Honestly, it drives me mad seeing the amount of single-use plastic that comes through my shops. We try to use compostable cups and offer discounts for reusable ones, but so much of it just ends up in the bin anyway. It’s not just an eyesore
Hold corporations to account for river pollution
I've seen the state of our local rivers in Liverpool and it's heartbreaking. As a social worker, I've worked with families who rely on these waterways for recreation and relaxation, only to find them polluted by corporate greed. The current
Enough with the plastic wrap, we need a deposit scheme that actually works
I was at the supermarket yesterday, and honestly, the amount of single-use plastic packaging for even basic vegetables is absurd. It's like they actively want us to drown in it. Then I saw some sad-looking reusable containers someone had cl
Defence spending needs a reboot
I think we should introduce a zero-based budgeting approach to defence spending, where every line item has to be justified from scratch each year. This is needed because it's clear that our current approach to defence spending is inefficien
A Balanced Energy Approach is Needed
As a long-time advocate for sensible policy, I am dismayed by the prevailing approach to energy production, which often prioritises ideology over pragmatism. The notion that we can abruptly transition to a fully green energy system is not o
Defence spending is a joke
I'm sick of hearing about how we need to boost defence spending to keep the country safe, when the truth is that's just code for lining the pockets of arms dealers and politicians who don't know the first thing about what actually keeps peo
Enough of this meddling! Stop blaming foreign wars for a weak pound.
It’s always something, isn’t it? First the pandemic, now some skirmish halfway across the world, and suddenly the economy’s in trouble. What’s really going on is that we’ve got a government that’s choking the life out of small businesses wi
sort out the recycling mess already
What's the point of having all these different bins if the council's just gonna send it all to the same place anyway, I mean I've seen the blokes chucking everything in one truck, so why bother. I was talking to a customer the other day, a
Decolonise History Lessons Now
I'm tired of hearing politicians talk about the glory days of the British Empire like it's something to be proud of. As a junior doctor I see the impact of systemic inequality every day, and it's rooted in our history. We need to teach kids
Seriously, can we just tax the billionaires and fix the planet already?
It absolutely drives me mad seeing the endless reports about climate disaster while the same corporations that caused it get bailed out or get tax breaks. It feels like we're being asked to recycle harder while they're literally drilling ho
