Connecting Our City: A Modern Vision for Bristol Transport
I understand the deep-seated frustration many Bristolians feel with our current public transport network. It’s a common complaint I hear on the doorstep, that getting around feels more like an obstacle course than a smooth journey. While th
Enough of this farming nonsense - let's get back to basics for the people
We need to drastically change farming subsidies so they directly support growing food for local people, not just churning out whatever makes the most money for big agribusiness. For too long, we’ve sent taxpayer cash to farmers to grow crop
Let's Get Real About Justice and Our Planet
I saw this policy about prison sentences and it got me thinking. While I agree we need a fairer system, I reckon the focus should be way broader than just the courts. We're talking about a society that often pushes people to the margins, an
Time to actually invest in towns like Grimsby, not just talk about it
We need a "Towns First" economic strategy that forces national investment into struggling high streets and industrial areas, not just endless consultations. This means government grants and tax breaks specifically for businesses opening or
Can we please stop trashing our land for cheap food? Let's grow smart, not just big.
It honestly drives me mad when I think about how we treat our land. All those massive fields of one crop, doused in chemicals, just destroying the soil and any bit of nature that tries to exist. It feels so incredibly short-sighted, like we
Enough with the Capital Gains Tax raid, it's killing investment!
It absolutely drives me mad seeing the constant tinkering with Capital Gains Tax. Every time the government needs a quick bit of cash, they look at CGT as if it's some sort of magic money tree. It’s just a tax on success, on people who’ve t
Enough of this 'levelling up' crap. Why are we still sending jobs overseas?
Why are we still letting companies offshore their manufacturing and then begging for them to come back with tax breaks? It’s madness. We’ve got perfectly capable people here who’d jump at the chance to build things. They just need the inves
Bristol Needs Proper Public Transport, Not Just Fancy Promises
I get the frustration with dodgy public transport, honestly. Taking the train should be a relaxing experience, not a test of endurance. But just throwing money at new trains for ScotRail isn't the whole answer, is it? We need to be smarter
Bring Back Proper British Manufacturing, Not This Service Economy Nonsense
We need a radical shift back to supporting British manufacturing and industry. This endless focus on finance and ‘services’ has gutted our towns and left us with nothing but coffee shops and betting places. We need to make things again, pro
Let's Get Rid of the Waiting Lists, Not the NHS
I get the frustration with waiting lists; my wife, who's a GP, sees it daily. The idea of trimming bureaucracy to get more resources to the frontline is sound. But comparing the NHS to Roman private enterprise isn't the answer. We need a mo
Scrap Net Zero targets, they're bankrupting us and ruining the countryside
The government needs to immediately scrap the legally binding net zero targets. These targets are completely unrealistic and are costing ordinary people a fortune through higher energy bills and taxes. We're being forced to pay for expensiv
Enough with the "affordable" housing that's just slightly less unaffordable!
How can anyone look at house prices and genuinely say we have a housing crisis? It's like saying a leaky roof is just a "ventilation feature." We need a complete overhaul, not these pathetic tweaks that barely make a dent. My proposal is s
Enough With The Billionaire Tax Cuts, Invest In Actual Future Builders
Honestly, the way they keep talking about stimulating the economy by giving more money to people who already have too much is baffling. It’s like they think the answer to everything is just hoping some of it trickles down. But I see kids ev
Fund Our NHS Properly, Don't Let Bureaucrats Wreck It
Seeing people wait months for basic care while hospitals are stretched thin is infuriating. It's not about "bureaucrats" being bad at budgets, it's about chronic underfunding and a government that’s systematically starved the NHS for years.
Why are we letting companies hoard cash while schools crumble?
Honestly, how much profit is enough? We see company after company posting record earnings, yet wages for their staff barely budge, and public services are stretched to breaking point. It’s baffling that so much wealth is concentrated in so
Stop the NHS waste: Let's pay tradespeople properly for repairs, not consultants!
We need a new approach to NHS property maintenance. Instead of constantly bringing in expensive external consultants to oversee minor repairs, the NHS should directly employ a core team of skilled tradespeople – plumbers, electricians, carp
Enough of these pub closures, we need to cut business rates NOW!
Saw young lads clearing out The Swan yesterday. Proper sad, that place has been there since I was a kid. It's the same story everywhere, really – the big boys can absorb it, but places like that, and mine, we're getting squeezed to death by
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
Devolution needs a balance sheet, not just vague promises from the City
My husband was talking to a mate who teaches in Manchester, apparently the local council there is still scrabbling around for funding for basic road repairs. They've got all these grand devolution plans, which sound great on paper, but the
Stop Wales Being Europe’s Bin: Bring Recycling Home
This policy hits the nail on the head regarding the absurdity of exporting our plastic waste. It’s utterly disgraceful that we offload our environmental responsibilities onto nations that lack the infrastructure to cope. But this isn't just
