Teach Scotland's Story, Not Just Britain's
I think it's time we took a step back and looked at how we're teaching history in Scotland's schools. The current curriculum can be a bit too focused on the UK as a whole, rather than Scotland's unique experience. We need to make sure our k
Stop Wasting Time on Unaccountable Diplomats
We should introduce a new system of parliamentary approval for all major diplomatic appointments, so we can hold these people to account for their actions. I'm fed up with the idea that some lord or other can just swan off to a fancy emba
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 Apologising For Britain On Climate Change
I'm fed up with all this fuss about climate change being some kind of global problem that we can't do anything about. We need to stop blaming ourselves and start taking control of our own destiny. The EU's not going to save us, and neither
Investing in Britain's Future: Strong Schools, Strong Communities
It’s easy to get caught up in talk of global influence when you’re in Westminster, but the reality on the ground for families here in Manchester is very different. My priority, and I suspect most people’s, is ensuring our kids have the best
Scrap VAT on repairs to boost small trades
I was out on a job the other day, fixing a boiler for a customer in Mapperley, and they were moaning about the cost of the repair, and I'm thinking, it's not just the parts and labour, it's the VAT on top that's killing them. This got me th
The Heat Is On – And So Are We, Not Brussels
Honestly, I’m sick to death of hearing politicians waffle on about the weather. Blaming anyone, whether it’s Brussels or Boris, for a heatwave is just pure distraction. We’re nurses, we see the effects of this stuff every day. People collap
Stop messing with patient records, just fund the GPs instead.
We need to mandate that all GP practices have a robust, fully integrated electronic patient record system that talks seamlessly to secondary care. This isn't about abstract data concerns; it's about making sure the right information is wher
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
Tax the rich to fund our schools
I think we should introduce a wealth tax to fund our public schools, it's about time the rich paid their fair share to ensure every kid gets a decent education. This is needed because our schools are struggling to make ends meet, with teach
Scrap the licence fee already
I'm sick of being forced to pay for the BBC just because I own a telly, it's like they think I'm made of money or something. Every year it goes up and up, and for what, so they can spout their lefty nonsense and make programmes that nobody
Enough of this income tax nonsense! Time to actually earn your keep.
Why do we even bother with this complicated income tax system? The government takes a huge chunk of what people earn, then spends it on all sorts of pet projects and bureaucratic bloat. It’s like trying to keep a leaky bucket full by pourin
Enough with the endless legal dramas, sort out the courts
It drives me mad watching these endless court cases on the telly, dragging on for months, years even. It feels like the system is designed to bleed people dry, whether they're guilty or not. You hear about it down the pub too, people stuck
Pay Carers A Living Wage Already
I'm proposing that carers like me should get a proper wage, not the pathetic Carer's Allowance that barely covers the bills. We're not just sitting at home twiddling our thumbs, we're working 24/7 to care for our loved ones and it's about t
Tax the rich to save the planet
I'm proposing a new wealth tax to help fund the transition to renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. We need this because climate change is already having a devastating impact on our planet and it's only going to get worse if we don'
Time to Cut the Red Tape
I was at a business lunch the other day and met a bloke who owns a small manufacturing firm in Shrewsbury, he was telling me about the absolute nightmare he's having with all the regulations and paperwork he has to deal with just to keep hi
Seriously, another 'growth at all costs' budget? Bristol needs investment, not just more debt.
I was walking through Old Market the other day and saw the most heartbreaking sight. A family, probably on their way home from school, queuing outside a food bank. It’s utterly grim, isn’t it? We’re told the economy is doing well, yet I see
Let's Cut the Bureaucracy That's Strangling Small Businesses, Not Argue With Old PMs
We need a radical simplification of business regulations to truly boost the economy. The current system is a tangled mess that disproportionately burdens new and small enterprises, stifling innovation and job creation. My proposal is for a
Prioritise Pints And Pensions: Britain First, Then Brussels
I can see the point about looking after your own patch first. It’s common sense, really, much like making sure the roof isn’t leaking before you start worrying about the neighbour’s garden. Our own communities are where we see the real impa
Scrap Business Rates for Small Shops and Cafes - It's Killing Our High Streets!
We need to get rid of business rates for independent shops and cafes entirely. This is crippling small businesses, especially in my industry. I've seen so many good places close down because the rates are just unsustainable, even when they’
