Sort Out Our Trains Already
I'm sick of hearing about transport ministers and their fancy plans when I'm stuck on a delayed train every morning. It's like they don't care that I've got a job to get to and kids to pick up from school. The state of our trains is a joke
Scrap the railways for people not profit
I'm so sick of delayed trains and overpriced tickets it's honestly ridiculous, I've got a part-time job in a bookshop and I'm barely scraping by as it is, let alone trying to afford a season ticket to get to work on time. The railways are a
Scrap the Rail Fares Rip-Off Now
I'm fed up with being taken for a ride every time I commute to work, with rail fares going up and up while the service stays the same. It's like they think we're made of money, and it's getting to the point where I'm considering just workin
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
Let's Not Forget Our Global Neighbours
I was talking to a friend who just got back from volunteering in a refugee camp in Greece and it really made me think about our foreign policy. She was telling me about the families she met and the stories they shared, and it was heartbreak
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
Tired of protest votes and voting against something, not for it.
It’s frustrating to see so many people casting votes just to register a complaint or to stop someone else getting in. That’s not how good governance happens. We end up with a muddled mandate and it makes it harder for any government to actu
How are we supposed to get to the next village without a car? Ridiculous!
Why are we still pretending everyone drives everywhere, especially in rural areas? We've got perfectly good buses going past Bakewell, but they run about as often as a hen lays a golden egg, and only to the big towns. It’s completely imprac
Let's Sort Out Our Voting System
What's the point of having a by-election where the winner is basically decided before a single vote is cast, I mean it's not like the outcome was ever really in doubt, was it. I think we need to look at introducing some form of proportion
Scrap the Motorway Expansion Plans
I think we should cancel all plans to expand our motorway network and instead invest in better public transport and cycle routes. This is because our roads are already congested and adding more lanes won't solve the problem, it'll just enco
Let's Get Serious About Diplomacy, Not Just Patronage
I mostly agree with the sentiment here, but the focus on "accountable diplomats" misses a bigger point. It's not just about who gets appointed to ambassadorships; it's about having a coherent, strategic foreign policy that these diplomats a
Fix Our Crumbling Bus Service
I was on the bus home from school the other day and it broke down on the outskirts of Harpenden, leaving all of us stranded for over an hour. This isn't the first time it's happened and it's a wonder the thing gets us to our destinations at
Energy Security: Common Sense Over Climate Alarmism
It’s utterly exhausting listening to these endless debates about Net Zero as if it’s some sort of religious commandment. Honestly, the obsession with hitting arbitrary targets seems to eclipse any real concern for what working families are
Enough with the charity shop clothes for job seekers already!
Why are we still making people sign on the dole and then giving them a voucher for clothes from a charity shop to go to a job interview? Seriously, have you seen some of the stuff in those places? It’s humiliating. My proposal is simple: a
Enough with the endless car lanes, let's build proper cycle tracks now.
We need to mandate the creation of genuinely segregated cycle infrastructure on all new and major road-renewal projects. This isn't about painting a white line and calling it a cycle lane; it's about physical separation from motor traffic,
Enough with the Pothole Lottery – Just Fix Them Properly!
We need a national, standardised approach to road maintenance, starting with potholes. It’s ridiculous that the quality of road repair depends entirely on which local council you live in. Some areas seem to get decent patches, while others
Sort Out Recycling Once and For All
I'm sick of putting stuff in the recycling bin and wondering if it's actually getting recycled or just ending up in some landfill in another country. It's like nobody knows what's going on and it's all a bit of a joke. I've got a mate who w
Scrap the Green Belt Sell Off
I was out walking with my kids in the Wirral countryside last weekend and we stumbled upon a sign that said a big chunk of the green belt was up for sale to developers. It made my blood boil, to be honest. The green belt is what keeps our a
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
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
