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?
Energy First: Powering Britain Without the Green Guilt Trip
The obsession with Net Zero targets is frankly ludicrous when you look at the cost to ordinary families. My wife Sarah's always worried about the heating bills come winter, and it’s not just her. Businesses are struggling too, caught betwee
Bring Prisons Back Home: Local Control, Not Corporate Greed
We need to get out of these private prison contracts, but just bringing them all under government control isn't the whole answer either. We've seen how quangos can be just as inefficient and out of touch. What we really need is to shift foc
Councils blaming Westminster for every penny they spend. Enough.
It’s the same old story every time. A Tory council in London whacks up taxes by some ridiculous amount and then suddenly it’s all the fault of the government. Wandsworth are saying government cuts forced their hand, but then they’re still r
Scrap the £350m 'vanity project' HS2 line and reinvest in local rail instead.
The government should immediately halt construction on HS2 and redirect all allocated funds into upgrading and expanding existing regional rail networks. This colossal waste of money is a textbook example of policy driven by prestige rather
Defence Procurement Needs Same Scrutiny As Our Rail Network
The issues raised about ScotRail's rolling stock are a familiar tune, though perhaps played on a different instrument. We hear constantly about the need for modernisation and greater efficiency in public services. My concern, however, lies
Stop moaning, start building: Homes people can actually afford and afford to heat
This lot talk about underinvestment, I talk about actually getting things built. My lads and I spend our lives fixing shoddy work because councils and developers cut corners on building regs. It’s not underinvestment, it’s rubbish standards
End the 'points-based system' nonsense, bring back common sense immigration controls
It’s time we scrapped the current points-based system for immigration and replaced it with a much simpler, more direct approach focused on national need and genuine skills shortages. The current system is overly complicated, bureaucratic, a
Common Sense on Debt: Protect Taxpayers, Help the Truly Needy
While the idea of not jailing people for owing small amounts of money has some merit, we must be cautious not to create a system that rewards irresponsibility. My father always said you must pay your way, and that principle still holds true
Enough with the beige boxes – let's make our towns feel like *places* again
I was walking through the town centre the other day, past that new block of flats they’ve built. Honestly, it’s just a big, bland rectangle. No character, no soul. It reminded me of all the conversation about "placemaking" that seems to go
Why do we let party leaders parachute anyone they want into seats?
So, this Nigel Farage chap has picked someone to lead his party in Wales. Does she actually live there, or is she just someone he knows from somewhere else who fancies a go? It seems mad that we end up with politicians representing areas th
End Private Prisons Now, They're a Moral Catastrophe and a Waste of Money
We need to abolish private prisons immediately. These companies profit from locking people up, which creates a perverse incentive to keep prisons full and sentences long, regardless of actual justice or public safety. It’s a fundamental con
Enough already, we need to stop governments from spying on everything we do online.
My proposal is to enshrine a fundamental right to digital privacy, making any government surveillance of personal online communications illegal without a specific, time-limited warrant issued by an independent judicial body based on probabl
Britain First? We Need Britain Working Together.
It’s understandable that people are feeling squeezed. I hear it too, from parents and grandparents in the village, worried about their children and grandchildren finding affordable homes and secure jobs. The feeling that the system isn’t wo
Why Are We Still Jailing People for Minor Debt Offenses?
Seriously, what is the actual point of sending someone to prison because they owe a few hundred quid? It costs a fortune to keep them in there, they lose their job, making it even harder to pay the debt, and then they come out with a crimin
Why are we making it harder for skilled workers to come here?
How did we get to a point where we actively discourage people with useful skills from contributing to our country? We spend years training doctors and nurses, only to make it a bureaucratic nightmare for them to stay and work here after the
Enough with the Green Guilt-Tripping: Let's Actually Cut Red Tape for Eco-Innovation
I'm sick to death of the endless stream of climate doom and the accompanying moral lectures. It feels like every time you turn around, there's some new regulation or tax designed to make life harder, supposedly for the planet. Meanwhile, th
Enough with this 'justice by lottery' nonsense. Let's try something sensible.
Why do we let some people get away with relatively minor crimes just because they can afford a flashy lawyer, while others get hammered for the same offence because they can't? It seems utterly bizarre that our legal system's outcomes can h
Enough of these buses from the 1980s, ScotRail needs a serious upgrade for all of us!
Honestly, it’s maddening. Every time I need to take the train down to Glasgow for a conference, or even just a day out, it’s the same old story. Cramped seats, dodgy heating, and a schedule that seems to have been designed by someone who’s
Enough with the greenwashing, let's actually help our high streets breathe
We need a national program to subsidise the conversion of empty high street shops into community green spaces and urban gardens. This isn't just about looking pretty, it's about tackling a few real problems at once. Our town centres are dyi
Enough with the plastic tat - time to make producers pay for packaging waste!
Seriously, why are we still drowning in single-use plastic packaging when the companies making it barely lift a finger to deal with the mess? It’s like letting someone trash their own house and then expecting the neighbours to clean it up.
