Our Defence Budget: Public Money for Public Safety, Not Private Profit
It’s easy to point fingers at government spending and say it’s all inefficient. Of course, there are always areas for improvement, and nobody wants to see public money wasted. But the idea that handing over something as fundamental as natio
Politicians Should Declare Everything
what's the point of having rules about declaring gifts and donations if they're just going to get ignored or hidden anyway. I mean think about it, if I tried to fiddle the books at my salon I'd be in serious trouble, but it seems like some
We need proper defence spending, not just more money for useless projects!
Saw this advert the other day for some new drone thing the RAF supposedly needs. Cost billions, apparently. Made me think about our lads out there, or even just our own borders. It’s all well and good having fancy tech but what’s the point
Teach kids to think, not just click. Digital skills vital.
I agree with the idea that we need to equip our children for the online world. But just 'digital literacy classes' feels a bit like a sticking plaster on a gaping wound. We need to be thinking bigger. Our schools are already stretched so th
Diplomats Not Pawns
I've seen my fair share of bureaucracy in the army and now in civvy life, and it's a right old mess. Appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff shouldn't be about who you know, it should be about who's got the skills for the job. Th
Sort Out Voting Before It's Too Late
I'm sick of hearing about people not voting because they don't think it'll make a difference, it's all the same old parties, or they just can't be bothered. I hear it from my clients all the time, they're fed up with the system and feel lik
No more secret handouts: Time for a proper independent body to scrutinise politicians' undeclared benefits
The UK urgently needs a genuinely independent body to oversee and enforce the declaration of all financial interests, gifts, and benefits for every elected official, from MPs to councillors. This body must have proper powers, not just advis
Stop Pricing Out Our Kids
I was at the school gates the other day and I got talking to one of the mums, she's a nurse at the local hospital, and she was telling me she's had to move to Luton because she can't afford a flat in Barnet anymore, it's just ridiculous.
Police reform starts with defunding and giving power to communities, not more internal reports
Remember last year at that climate protest near Piccadilly? The cops were everywhere, like an army, pushing people around just for sitting in the street. Meanwhile, I know people who’ve had bikes stolen or harassment reported, and nothing e
Scrap First Past The Post Already
I'm fed up with the way our electoral system is rigged against smaller parties, it's like they want to keep the same old faces in power forever. Every election it's the same story, people voting tactically because they don't want to waste t
Why do we bother voting when half the votes get binned? Time for a system that actually counts our voices.
It makes no sense that millions of votes just vanish into thin air. You vote for someone, they don't win, and that's it, your voice is gone. Then we get a government that barely half the country voted for, claiming a mandate. How does that
Time to Sort Out Our Busted Police Forces
We need to introduce a new system of community-led police accountability boards to oversee the running of local forces. I think this is needed because, let's be honest, the police have been getting away with some pretty questionable behavio
green defence, not just greenwashing
i think we should be talking about reducing defence spending overall, not just making the current budget more efficient. it's crazy that we're still pouring so much money into the military when there are so many other pressing issues that n
Diplomats for the People
I think the current system of appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff is a joke, it's all about who you know, not what you can do. We need to take the power out of the hands of politicians and put it in the hands of the people. T
Fines for polluters must hit harder, but let's get the targets right.
It’s frustrating seeing the state of some of our rivers. Last month near Elgin, there was a stretch of the Lossie that just looked wrong, a bit lifeless. You hear about companies getting away with it, paying a slap on the wrist fine that’s
Why do we bother voting when millions of votes are ignored? Time for real change.
Ever wonder why your vote feels like it disappears into thin air sometimes? We’ve got millions of people up and down the country who vote, and their chosen candidate gets nowhere, so their vote might as well have been for the local dog show
Fix this voting mess: Let's get serious about fairness.
We should adopt a system of proportional representation for all UK general elections, using a party-list system with a reasonable threshold. This would mean that the number of seats a party wins in Parliament would more closely reflect the
Enough already with these insane energy bills for small businesses!
It's ridiculous. Every quarter I'm bracing myself for the new energy bill and it feels like a gamble with my businesses. We've absorbed so much cost over the last few years, from ingredients to wages, and the energy price hikes have been a
Cleaning up political funding is overdue. It's about standards, not just money.
It truly grates on me, the constant discussion around political donations and who is paying for what in Westminster. It diminishes the very idea of public service, making it seem like influence can simply be bought. This erosion of institut
Why do half our votes get binned? We need a system where every vote actually counts towards who runs the country.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder why we even bother turning up to vote. You look at places, especially around here, where the result is basically set in stone before a single ballot is cast. Your vote, my vote, all the mates down the pub, it ju
