Investing in Britain, Not Blaming Newcomers
It’s understandable that people are worried about their living standards. The cost of living crisis is real, and many are feeling the squeeze. But pointing the finger at immigrants is a simplistic and frankly lazy solution that ignores the
Give Mayors Real Power Over Local Welfare
I think mayors should have the ability to design and implement their own welfare systems, tailored to the specific needs of their region. This would allow them to respond quickly to local issues, like poverty and homelessness, without havin
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
Scrap the pointless short sentences for minor crimes
What's the point of chucking someone in prison for a few weeks for shoplifting or minor assault, it's just a waste of taxpayers' money and doesn't solve anything. I mean think about it, these short sentences don't rehabilitate anyone, they
Why are we still letting kids leave school without knowing how to actually manage money?
Seriously, what’s the logic behind marching teenagers through years of quadratic equations and Shakespearean sonnets but never a single lesson on budgeting, mortgages, or taxes? It’s madness. We're setting them up to fail financially before

Seriously, blaming the EU for a heatwave? That’s the kind of daft, populist nonsense that’s held us back for years. This idea about reclaiming sovereign control of the weather is frankly embarrassing. It’s not 1973 anymore, it’s the era of
Reform UK is a grift and its supporters deserve better than Farage's lies
I genuinely feel sorry for most Reform voters. They have been sold a story that all of their problems are caused by immigration, and that one man with a pint glass and a podcast has the answers. He does not. He has never held office. He has
Raise taxes on high earners including me and stop pretending we can't afford public services
I earn well into six figures. I pay less tax as a percentage of my income than my employees do because capital gains is taxed lower than income. That is indefensible. We have a country where nurses use food banks, schools hold bake sales t
Start rebuilding the EU relationship now, with a customs union as step one
The Conservatives spent 14 years pretending Brexit was going brilliantly while every economic indicator said otherwise. Small businesses are drowning in customs paperwork. Export volumes are down. The City has lost business to Frankfurt and
