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.
Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Stop the early release nonsense: fund probation properly and keep our towns safe.
It absolutely baffles me why anyone thinks letting people out of prison early is a good idea. It’s not just about saving a few quid — it’s about public safety, plain and simple. We’ve seen what happens when these things go wrong, and it’s a
A serious immigration system that is firm, fair, and actually enforced
Immigration policy in the UK oscillates between targets nobody believes in and rhetoric nobody trusts. Both left and right are responsible. The left pretends there are no trade-offs. The right makes promises it has no mechanism to keep. The
Announce a review into the thing we promised to do and then announce another review
Phase one: announce a bold commitment to fix the problem. Phase two: commission an independent review into the problem we just committed to fixing. Phase three: announce we are "carefully considering" the findings of the review. Phase fo
Proportional Representation is a joke, let’s actually fix things
We should get rid of the House of Lords and replace it with a directly elected chamber based on regional representation, with two members per county. It’s a total waste of money having all those Lords and Ladies who nobody voted for and mos
The right of every man to have babies if he wants them
It is an inalienable right. The fact that its not physically possible is besides the point. The motion passed 14-2. Francis abstained. He was having a lie down.
Every child should be able to get an NHS dentist
My daughter hasnt seen an NHS dentist in two years. We rang every practice within 20 miles. All full. We ended up going private at 80 quid a checkup. Not everyone can do that. NHS dentistry is in collapse. Dentists are leaving because the
Another Westminster PM, same old story. Wales needs its own voice on the world stage, not just a bystander.
It drives me absolutely mad how we’re constantly told about how this new UK Prime Minister, whoever it happens to be, is viewed by the US or China or whoever else. It’s always about ‘Britain’ or ‘the UK’, and Wales is just presumed to be pa
Scrap the CAP, it's killing our farms
I was talking to a friend who's a farmer just outside Perth and he was at his wit's end, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy has been a disaster for his business, the paperwork alone is crippling him, and the subsidies never seem to make it
Require all government policy to pass an independent impact assessment before implementation
We require environmental impact assessments before building a car park. We do not require evidence impact assessments before implementing policies that affect millions of lives. This asymmetry is remarkable. The What Works centres (What Wo
Scrap First Past The Post Already
I had a passenger the other day, a young professional, and we got talking about politics, she was saying how she felt like her vote didn't count because she lived in a safe seat, I told her I knew what she meant, I've been voting Labour all
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
Pay farmers for ecological outcomes, not just for having land
The basic payment scheme that replaced EU subsidies paid farmers essentially for owning land. The more land you had, the more you got. A hedge fund that bought 10,000 acres of Lincolnshire received more public money than a hill farmer in Wa
Stop central government messing up local buses, give the money to councils.
It makes no sense, does it, that we have communities cut off from their nearest doctors or shops because there isn’t a reliable bus, yet central government pours money into projects that don’t quite fit local needs? One must consider that t
Scrap the BBC licence fee already
I was talking to my son the other day and he was telling me about how he watches all his TV shows on streaming services, he doesn't even know what the BBC iPlayer is. This got me thinking, why are we still forcing people to pay for a TV lic
Fund SEN provision properly instead of making parents fight for every hour
Why does it take 18 months to get an EHCP assessment? Eighteen months. For a child. I have been a primary school teacher for 14 years. The system isnt a bit broken. It is completely broken. Parents fight through paperwork and tribunal thre
Scotland's NHS deserves better than Westminster's wars
As a nation, we need to get our priorities straight, and for me, that means putting the health and wellbeing of our people first. I'm aye frustrated by the lack of investment in our NHS, while Westminster continues to squander billions on m
Teach the Whole Story in Schools
I've been thinking about the way we teach history in schools and I think we need to make sure we're giving kids a proper understanding of our past, the good and the bad. I'm not saying we should be ashamed of what we've done, but we should
Enough with the "access" waffle, let's actually fix the GP crisis.
Why are we still pretending that just "increasing access" to GPs is the magic bullet when everyone knows the system is already creaking at the seams? It’s like saying you’ll solve traffic jams by making it easier to get onto the motorway –
Constitutional right to complain about things that are already quite good
It is a fundamental British value to look at something perfectly adequate and declare it not good enough. The bus came on time? Yes but it was a bit cold. The NHS saved your life? Yes but the car park was expensive. The sun is shining?
Dignity in Dying: A Compassionate End to Suffering, Not a Shortcut for the State
It’s absolutely right that we talk about dignity at the end of life. No one should have to endure unnecessary suffering. However, I’m deeply uneasy about the focus on assisted dying as the primary solution. My concern, as a teacher and a mu
