Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Full public inquiry into what the Romans ever did for us
What have the Romans ever done for us? The aqueduct. Obviously. And the roads. But apart from the aqueduct and the roads? Sanitation. Alright sanitation the aqueduct and the roads. And irrigation. Medicine. Education. Public order. Wine
Climate Change Is Real, Stop Blaming Brussels for the Heatwave
Seriously, blaming the EU for a heatwave? That’s the kind of daft, populist nonsense that’s held us back for years. This idea about reclaiming sovereign control of the weather is frankly embarrassing. It’s not 1973 anymore, it’s the era of
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
The housing crisis isn't just about numbers, it's about building proper homes for our young people, not just ugly boxes on fields.
My biggest frustration with housing is seeing young families, including my own children’s friends, being priced out of the very towns and villages they grew up in. It impacts community so much when young people have to move miles away just
Stop Dumbing Down Maths & English in Schools – We Need Real Skills!
It drives me absolutely mad seeing the focus in schools shift away from core academic subjects towards what feels like a tick-box exercise in ‘wellbeing’ or some vague notion of ‘life skills’. Of course, those things matter, but not at the
Environmental Ed: Get Biz On Board
I was talking to a colleague who's got kids in school and she was saying how they're not really learning about the practical side of environmental issues, like how businesses can make a difference. It's all about theory and not enough about
Devolution needs proper funding and actual local control, otherwise it's just more Whitehall bureaucracy with a different postcode.
We should establish truly independent Regional Economic Development Agencies across the UK, drawing inspiration from successful models in federal European countries. Current devolution efforts often amount to little more than moving central
The Dead Parrot Consumer Protection Act
For too long shopkeepers in this country have been selling products that are clearly deceased and then claiming they are merely resting or pining for the fjords and this has to stop because a product that has ceased to be and expired and go
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
Pay teachers properly or stop asking where they all went
Four of my colleagues left the profession in the last two years. Two went into corporate training, one retrained as a data analyst, one just stopped. None of them wanted to leave teaching. They loved it. They left because they couldnt affo
National duvet day when its raining and you just cant be bothered
Sometimes you just cant. You know the feeling. Its grey. Its February. The alarm goes off and your entire soul says no. We propose 12 statutory duvet days per year. No doctors note. No questions. You just text your boss a duvet emoji and
Give Local Councils Control Over Regional Funds
We should give local councils more control over how regional development funds are spent in their areas. This is needed because too often we see money being allocated from the top down without a real understanding of what's actually needed
Schools to be granted full autonomy over budgets and curricula
I think it's time we stopped micromanaging our schools and let the people on the ground make the decisions, they're the ones who actually know what they're doing after all. The current system is far too prescriptive, with the government dic
A legal right to clean rivers, enforceable by citizens
In 2023, water companies in England discharged sewage into rivers and seas for over 3.6 million hours. The Environment Agency, which is supposed to prevent this, has had its budget cut by 60% since 2010 and now conducts fewer inspections th
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
Time to Make Corporations Pay Their Fair Share
So why are massive corporations getting away with paying basically no tax while I'm out here on the North Sea working my arse off to keep the lights on. It's just not right that they're making billions off our natural resources and our labo
Let's Take Control of Scottish Immigration
I'm proposing that an independent Scotland should have its own points-based immigration system, one that prioritizes the needs of our own economy and industries. This is needed because the current system is dictated by Westminster and doesn
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
Government-funded Ministry of Silly Walks with protected budget
The Department for Silly Walks was defunded in the austerity years and this country has been poorer for it. Literally and spiritually. Walk down any high street and what do you see? Normal walking. Boring, regular, uninspired walking. It is
Bring water, rail, and energy into democratic public ownership
Privatisation was sold to us as a way to improve services through competition. Forty years on, we can assess whether that promise was kept. Water companies have accumulated £72 billion in debt while paying out £78 billion in dividends. Trai
