So many manifestos — who has the answers?

you would vote for.
Borrow the best policies, fix the ones you don't like, and craft a manifesto that finally makes sense.
The planet we leave behind
Net zero, rivers, rewilding, air quality. Write the environment policy you wish someone had.
Scrap Free Uni for Rich Kids
I think we should stop giving free university tuition to kids from rich families, it's a waste of taxpayer money. We need to focus on helping ppl who actually need it, like low income families who can't afford to send their kids to uni. Rig
Hold corporations to account for river pollution
I've seen the state of our local rivers in Liverpool and it's heartbreaking. As a social worker, I've worked with families who rely on these waterways for recreation and relaxation, only to find them polluted by corporate greed. The current
Enough with the plastic wrap, we need a deposit scheme that actually works
I was at the supermarket yesterday, and honestly, the amount of single-use plastic packaging for even basic vegetables is absurd. It's like they actively want us to drown in it. Then I saw some sad-looking reusable containers someone had cl
Defence spending needs a reboot
I think we should introduce a zero-based budgeting approach to defence spending, where every line item has to be justified from scratch each year. This is needed because it's clear that our current approach to defence spending is inefficien
Decolonise History Lessons Now
I'm tired of hearing politicians talk about the glory days of the British Empire like it's something to be proud of. As a junior doctor I see the impact of systemic inequality every day, and it's rooted in our history. We need to teach kids
Kids need digital literacy not just bans
I propose we introduce compulsory digital literacy classes in schools to teach children how to navigate social media safely and critically. This is needed because simply restricting access to social media won't address the underlying issues
Enough of this meddling! Stop blaming foreign wars for a weak pound.
It’s always something, isn’t it? First the pandemic, now some skirmish halfway across the world, and suddenly the economy’s in trouble. What’s really going on is that we’ve got a government that’s choking the life out of small businesses wi
Let the Market Clean Up Pollution
I'm not convinced that slapping corporations with massive fines is the best way to tackle pollution. Instead of relying on bureaucratic penalties, we should be leveraging the power of the market to drive environmental responsibility. By int
Enough is Enough with All This Green Nonsense — Bring Back Common Sense!
I’m sick to death of seeing perfectly good bits of land churned up for these endless wind farms and solar panels. You walk down the high street and half the shops are boarded up, but we’ve got millions being poured into projects that don’t
Enough with the slap on the wrist for corporations trashing our rivers!
I was down by the Avon last weekend, trying to enjoy a bit of sunshine, and saw a patch of water near the industrial estate that was just… oily. Rainbow sheen, dead bits of plant life floating in it. It made me so angry. How many times have
Finally, a real plan to fund science — not just more tinkering
We need a new national science fund, managed by a public body with actual scientists and educators on its board, not just politicians and business types. This fund would exclusively support long-term, curiosity-driven research in universiti
Defence spending is a joke
I'm sick of hearing about how we need to boost defence spending to keep the country safe, when the truth is that's just code for lining the pockets of arms dealers and politicians who don't know the first thing about what actually keeps peo
sort out the recycling mess already
What's the point of having all these different bins if the council's just gonna send it all to the same place anyway, I mean I've seen the blokes chucking everything in one truck, so why bother. I was talking to a customer the other day, a
Scrap the HS2 White Elephant
I'm proposing we cancel the HS2 project and divert the funds to upgrading our existing rail network, it's a no-brainer when you look at the costs and benefits. The current plans are going to soak up over a hundred billion pounds, which coul
Stop the revolving door for petty criminals. It's not working.
I was waiting for my train at King's Cross last week and saw a young man, no older than 18, being led away in handcuffs by two rather weary-looking police officers. He'd apparently shoplifted a few bottles of expensive whiskey. It’s the thi
Frankly, it’s past time we stopped talking and actually put proper digital protections in place for our children.
Frankly, how can we possibly expect children to navigate the digital world we’ve created for them without putting some serious safeguards in place? It just seems like we've let things get completely out of hand, hoping for the best when it
Let's Get Proper People in Charge of Town Hall Jobs
It’s all well and good talking about diplomats, chuck, but what about the people running things right here in Grimsby? We’ve got council positions that seem to go to whoever’s got the loudest voice or the right mates, not necessarily the on
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
Bin collection chaos is just the start – we need to get serious about local recycling
I was out with the kids the other day, trying to explain why we can't just chuck everything in one bin. We'd just seen another lorry overflowing with bags, probably heading straight to landfill, and it felt like a joke. It’s frustrating whe
Stop Wasting Time on Unaccountable Diplomats
We should introduce a new system of parliamentary approval for all major diplomatic appointments, so we can hold these people to account for their actions. I'm fed up with the idea that some lord or other can just swan off to a fancy emba
