Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Scrap the Bureaucracy in Youth Services
I'm fed up with seeing kids in my community fall through the cracks because of all the red tape in our youth services. I run a youth centre in Bradford and it's heartbreaking to see talented young people not get the support they need becaus
Scrap the NHS postcode lottery now
I'm sick of hearing about people in other parts of the country getting better healthcare than we do in Brighton just because of where they live. It's not right that some kids get access to specialist care that ours can't, all because of som
Scrap the Green Belt to Save the Planet
I was cycling through the countryside last weekend and saw all these fields just sitting empty, it got me thinking about how we use land in this country. We've got a housing crisis and people can't afford to live anywhere, but at the same t
Cross-departmental review of the review process, with a view to reviewing how reviews are commissioned
The Difficult Decisions Party has noted, with some concern, that the government currently commissions a large number of reviews. The Difficult Decisions Party has further noted, also with concern, that reviews are sometimes commissioned to
Enough with the green fantasies, let's get cheap power for homes and businesses NOW.
We need a new national energy policy focused on reliable, affordable power and frankly, that means more gas and nuclear and less of the expensive green stuff for now. My clients are terrified about their heating bills this winter, and mine
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
Why do we even bother voting when half the country feels ignored? Our system is broken.
It honestly just pisses me off how much our votes don't really count for anything. You see results on election night and some party gets a massive majority with like 35% of the vote. What's the point? All those people who voted for smaller
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
Politicians Should Declare Everything
what's the point of having rules about declaring gifts and donations if they're just going to get ignored or hidden anyway. I mean think about it, if I tried to fiddle the books at my salon I'd be in serious trouble, but it seems like some
Fix Our Broken Rural Bus Services Already
I'm sick of watching my elderly neighbours struggle to get to the shops or the doctor's surgery because the bus service in our rural area is so unreliable. It's not just an inconvenience, it's a complete disregard for the people who live he
Scrap the train fare nonsense
I'm sick of forking out a fortune to commute to work, it's like they're having a laugh, my train fare is more than my car insurance and that's just not right. I've got a mate who drives to London every day and he's paying less than me to ge
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.
No more secret handouts: Time for a proper independent body to scrutinise politicians' undeclared benefits
The UK urgently needs a genuinely independent body to oversee and enforce the declaration of all financial interests, gifts, and benefits for every elected official, from MPs to councillors. This body must have proper powers, not just advis
Let's Get Real About Justice and Our Planet
I saw this policy about prison sentences and it got me thinking. While I agree we need a fairer system, I reckon the focus should be way broader than just the courts. We're talking about a society that often pushes people to the margins, an
Police reform starts with defunding and giving power to communities, not more internal reports
Remember last year at that climate protest near Piccadilly? The cops were everywhere, like an army, pushing people around just for sitting in the street. Meanwhile, I know people who’ve had bikes stolen or harassment reported, and nothing e
Britain should reclaim sovereign control of its own weather. Enough is enough.
Last summer it was 34 degrees in Surrey. Thirty-four. In Surrey. I was born in 1962 and I can tell you categorically that this is not British weather. British weather is 19 degrees and overcast with the threat of a shower. British weather i
End peat extraction for gardening compost by 2027 and fund the transition for UK growers
UK peatlands store around 3 billion tonnes of carbon. That is more than all the forests in Britain, France, and Germany combined. Healthy peatlands slowly accumulate carbon. Drained peatlands release it, continuously, for decades. The gove
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
Enough with the slap on the wrist for corporations trashing our rivers!
I was down by the Avon last weekend, trying to enjoy a bit of sunshine, and saw a patch of water near the industrial estate that was just… oily. Rainbow sheen, dead bits of plant life floating in it. It made me so angry. How many times have
Stop Wasting Science Funding on Politicians' Pet Projects
I'm so fed up with seeing science funding being squandered on projects that are clearly driven by politicians' personal agendas rather than actual scientific merit. It's like they think we're all idiots and won't notice that they're just th
