Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
Enough with the GP waiting lists, let's get proper mental health support in schools
My daughter’s friend has been struggling with anxiety for months. Her parents finally got her a referral to a child psychologist, only to be told the waiting list is over a year long. A year. For a teenager who’s clearly in distress. It’s h
Enough is enough: Foreign aid needs to serve British interests first, not just global virtue signalling.
With all due respect, does anyone actually understand why we send billions in foreign aid every year, often to countries that openly oppose us or where the money just disappears? It’s baffling. We have struggling communities here in Tunbrid
Pollution Isn't a Market Opportunity
I'm not sold on the idea that we should be relying on the market to clean up pollution, it seems like we're just passing the buck to corporations and hoping for the best. The original idea of introducing tradeable pollution permits might so
Free Riders Aren't Welcome
I've seen some dodgy business deals in my time as an IT consultant, but our current immigration system takes the biscuit. It's a free-for-all, with some people expecting a free ride at the expense of British taxpayers. I'm not against immig
Lords is a Joke, Time to Sort It
I'm fed up with the whole House of Lords system, it's a relic of the past and it's about time we did something about it. You've got people being appointed to it left and right, often because they've got the right connections or they've dona
Fixing Immigration Mess Once and For All
What's the point of having an immigration system if it's just going to let people in without making sure they've got a job lined up or a way to support themselves, I mean it's just common sense that you shouldn't be allowed to just turn up
This 'Digital First' NHS nonsense is failing our elderly
My neighbour, poor Mrs. Higgins, bless her, has been trying to get a doctor's appointment for weeks. She’s 85 and doesn’t own a smartphone. Every time she calls, she gets put through to some automated system or told to use the NHS app, whic
We need to fix the benefits trap, not just throw money at it.
I was talking to a chap the other day, an immigrant who’s been here about five years. He's a skilled tradesman, really capable, but he was telling me how impossible it feels to get his qualifications recognised and get back into his trade.
Streamlining Research Investment for a Sustainable Future
I agree that the current system for research funding is often too cumbersome. The sheer volume of bureaucracy can indeed stifle innovation, and I’ve heard from colleagues about the frustrating application processes. It’s vital we support ou
Small Business Owners Back The NHS
As someone who runs three coffee shops in Birmingham, I see the impact of the NHS on our community every day. My staff and customers are all affected by the quality of our healthcare system, and I believe we need to think creatively about h
Our kids need this cash, not foreign coffers
I get where this is coming from, honestly. Seeing kids I know struggling because the system's stretched to breaking point makes you want to pull up the drawbridge sometimes. My mum’s still on the estate and the ‘support’ she gets is a joke.
Justice for kids abused by grooming gangs means proper sentences and deportation, not just a quick fix to make politicians look tough.
I see those kids every day at school, love. Little ones, some of them not much older than my grandkids. You just want to wrap them up and keep them safe from everything. When I hear about these gangs, honestly, it turns my stomach. It’s not
Stop Propping Up Dictators with Our Aid
I was at a medical conference in London last year and met a doctor from Yemen who told me about the devastation caused by the ongoing civil war. He described how hospitals were being bombed and medical supplies were scarce, and it struck me
Sticking asylum seekers on old military bases is just kicking the can down the road, and it’s bad medicine.
I had a patient in last week, Mrs Henderson, she was worried sick about the plans for a new site near Thetford. Not that it’s in our patch directly, but it’s not far, and she was talking about how it would effect local schools and doctors.
Fix Our Broken Voting System Already
I'm fed up with the way our electoral system is stacked against anyone who doesn't toe the party line, it's like they want to squeeze out any independent thought. As a GP I see the effects of bad policy every day, and it's clear that our vo
Stop sending foreign aid when our own country's gone to the dogs!
Why are we still chucking billions of pounds overseas when our roads are full of potholes and my daughter, the teacher, can barely afford her rent? It’s madness, frankly. We’ve got people struggling to make ends meet right here, yet we’re f
Stop giving Lottery money to museums no one visits, start funding local arts centres!
Why are we still giving National Lottery Heritage Fund cash to the same few big national museums that already get massive public funding, when so many local arts centres and community hubs are struggling to keep the lights on? It makes no s
Enough already – let's just get serious about tidal power in Wales
We should immediately commit to funding and building a significant tidal energy project in the Severn Estuary. This isn't some futuristic dream; it's a proven technology that could provide consistent, clean power for Wales and the wider UK
Why are we talking military cuts when our schools are already cut to the bone?
How can we sit here and talk about "operational cuts" in defence as some kind of national emergency when schools across the country have been operating on bare minimums for years? It’s absurd. Every year we’re asked to do more with less, pa
Seriously, can we just tax the billionaires and fix the planet already?
It absolutely drives me mad seeing the endless reports about climate disaster while the same corporations that caused it get bailed out or get tax breaks. It feels like we're being asked to recycle harder while they're literally drilling ho
