Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Let builders build: reform planning from the ground up
Britain does not have a land shortage. It has a permission shortage. Only about 6% of English land is built on. The reason housing is expensive is not that we have run out of space. It is that the planning system makes it extraordinarily di
Sovereignty means being free to do things we have no intention of doing
We fought long and hard for the right to make our own decisions as a nation. And now that we have that right, we choose to... not change very much. But the OPTION is there. Thats the point. We COULD change our lightbulb regulations if we w
Enough is enough! Energy price caps need a serious rethink, not just tinkering.
Saw young Kev from down the road yesterday, stressed to the eyeballs. He runs that little bakery on the corner, been there ten years, always gets his morning roll from me. Said his electricity bill doubled, nearly put him out of business. H
Mandate a minimum vote share for parties to gain seats.
Seeing the results from Scotland makes you wonder about the effectiveness of our electoral system. It seems parties can win seats with a relatively small percentage of the vote, which doesn't always reflect broad public support. This can le
Abolish planning permission fees for small developments
The current planning system is a major obstacle to getting new homes built, and the fees associated with it are a big part of the problem. These fees can be a significant burden for small developers and individual homeowners who want to bui
Fix Welsh Housing Before It's Too Late
What's the point of having a country with its own government if we can't even sort out housing for our own people. I mean think about it, we've got Welsh families stuck on waiting lists for years while outsiders buy up properties for holida
National service reimagined as a voluntary civic year with real incentives
The proposal for mandatory national service was poorly conceived and rightly criticised. Compulsion breeds resentment, not civic spirit. But the underlying instinct that young people would benefit from a structured opportunity for service i
Scrap the Motorway Expansion Plans
I think we should cancel all plans to expand our motorway network and instead invest in better public transport and cycle routes. This is because our roads are already congested and adding more lanes won't solve the problem, it'll just enco
Full backing for solar farms — with some very reasonable conditions
The Nimby Liberation Front is fully committed to net zero and believes solar farms are an essential part of the energy transition. We support them wholeheartedly, subject to the following very reasonable conditions: — Not visible from a li
Red Tape Reform for People Not Profits
I've seen firsthand the impact of bureaucracy on the NHS, where we're drowning in paperwork and targets, rather than focusing on patient care. It's the same for small businesses and entrepreneurs, who are stifled by regulations and forms. B
Fix Our Crumbling Bus Service
I was on the bus home from school the other day and it broke down on the outskirts of Harpenden, leaving all of us stranded for over an hour. This isn't the first time it's happened and it's a wonder the thing gets us to our destinations at
Parking fines shouldnt be a revenue stream for councils
My council made 4.2 million quid in parking fines last year. Four point two MILLION. Thats not enforcement. Thats a business model. And it means every decision they make about signage, yellow lines, and parking zones is quietly shaped by
Preserve our local high street by only shopping there when John Lewis is too far away
I was just stuck in the car park at the retail park again today and it really hit me how depressing the whole place is. I was sitting there surrounded by concrete and massive warehouses like TK Maxx and Costa and I honestly felt a bit sick
Stop Pricing Out Our Kids
What's the point of working hard and saving up if our own kids can't afford to live near us, I mean it's getting ridiculous. I was talking to my daughter the other day and she's looking at flats in Birmingham, prices are just insane, she's
A universal basic income pilot at local authority scale
The theoretical arguments for and against UBI are well rehearsed. What we lack is robust UK-specific evidence. Finland ran a two-year trial involving 2,000 participants. The results showed improved wellbeing, higher trust in institutions, a
Accept that everything is getting worse and plan accordingly
Other parties promise to fix things. We think thats dishonest. Things are getting worse and they have been getting worse for quite some time now. The trains are worse. The roads are worse. The weather is worse. Freddos are 30p. Rather than
Stop burying teachers in admin that has nothing to do with teaching
Last week I spent more time filling in tracking spreadsheets than planning lessons. Audit every piece of admin teachers do. If it doesnt directly help a child learn, scrap it.
Balance the current budget over the economic cycle and enshrine it in law
Governments should not routinely spend more than they raise in revenue. This is not an ideological position. It is a mathematical one. Sustained deficits accumulate as debt, and the interest on that debt diverts spending from public service
Dying with Dignity, Not Just a Privilege
As a Labour supporter and a teacher, I believe that the right to die with dignity should be a fundamental human right, not just a privilege for those who can afford it. The current system is failing those who are terminally ill, and it's ou
We will save £3.50 a year by making difficult decisions about childrens shoes
Look, nobody wants to cut the shoe allowance for under-fives. These are not the decisions we wanted to make. But we inherited a very difficult fiscal situation and we have to be honest with people about the choices ahead. By reducing the c
