To succeed as a nation we need a well educated, well motivated population who are ready to take on the challenges of a changing world

Significant increase in funding to bring down number of pupils per teacher and look at ways it might fit better with part time working

White paper examining educational systems around the world

Ensure fit for purpose so students leave with the skills they need to succeed in an rapidly evolving world, including whether to specialise later

Empower teachers that they are able to reduce disruption in class and give space/incentives to pupils who want to excel

Remove tuition fees for those degrees that are deemed valuable to the industrial strategy

Offer paid national service which includes vocational training

Encourage private sector to support Universities via tax breaks

Everyone should have access to good quality, well insulated homes in areas where they want to live

Review the planning regime to make it easier to build good quality homes

Properly police the private sector to ensure that these are of an appropriate quality

Commit to building sufficient homes so every family/single person has the option of at least a two bed house/flat

Review what houses people want and consider how city living can be best accommodated looking at examples abroad (for instance, build up)

Take steps to ensure that there is sufficient skilled labour to carry out this work

Everyone has the right to well paid and rewarding work which ultimately leads to better productivity

End zero hour contracts and increase the minimum wage which would be payable in addition to a universal basic income scheme paid to everyone

Alongside schools acting as round the clock centres of the community, they will be encouraged to offer out of hours adult education programmes with childcare support

UK industrial strategy will aim o support businesses that are future proofed and are able to provide good jobs

White paper on different penal systems around the world with aim of having improving rehabilitation and reduce reoffending

Properly funded penal and judicial system in order to clear the backlog and improvement the prison real estate

White paper and national debate on the pros and cons of drug liberalisation

In a more volatile world, it will be important to properly fund our armed forces which would be supplemented by the paid national service programme

Properly funded public services that work effectively are the bedrock of a functioning society, providing security for those that need it and infrastructure for companies and individuals to thrive

The NHS is a bedrock of UK society and an essential support mechanism for many

A properly funded and staffed NHS which will need to evolve by taking the best from healthcare systems throughout the world

The current system is free to the point of abuse with respect for staff being at an all time low

This might include penalties for missed appointments, abuse of staff or repeat superficial problems

The NHS has increasingly taken on the burden of social care which will instead return to local councils with proper funding

Utility firms have a responsibility to the public to provide effective services that are not just being maintained but improved

They should not be producing returns significantly in excess of UK Government Bonds from UK operations

Privatised utilities are to be properly policed with minimum service levels and infrastructure improvement targets

If these are not met, significant penalties will apply which will include fines, restricting dividends and executive pay

Firms will be restricted on the level of debt that they are able to take on particularly in respect of shareholder payments

If these firms are unable to deliver, they will be nationalised

Trust in politics and Government has never been at such a low ebb. Given the impact it has on so many lives it should be where we see our best and brightest but instead it feel as if it is continually finding new depths to sink

Wide ranging parliamentary reform; whilst it might not have the excitement of other “first 100 day” type policies, a root and branch reform of our parliminentrary system to bring it up to date for the modern era is desperately needed. This would cover everything from proportional representation to removing rights to second jobs to considering whether to have a written consitution to reviewing MPs local constituency commitments to allowing ministers to be appointed from experts that sit outside of the party to reforming the civil service to encourage a wider range of people and experiences to moving parts of the government to regions outside of London (including Parliament and No 10 itself). The last ten years (and perhaps even longer) have demonstrated serious issues with how we run this country and the status quo is no longer fit for purpose.

The aim of any reform should be to encourage decision making based on cooperation and accountability, acknowledging the importance of experts and experience that might sit outside of parliament and de-centralisation of power so its accumulation does not become the overriding aim in and of itself.

Political parties can no longer claim to be representative of the majority and therefore consideration to be given to bringing in citizen assemblies to gather ideas outside of the parties

The media have too much power to control the agenda for interested parties, these should no longer be majority owned by any one individual

More power is to be distributed to the regions so that they can be invested at the local level with more transparency and policing, this may require that a number of “super regions” are put in place which operate on top of the local councils. This would be alongside local development funds to allow local communities to decide how money is spent, including development fund to invest in local businesses/entrepreneurs.

OBR and Government audit office to be given more powers to root out corruption and to carry out a review of the profiteering that took place during COVID

After 14 years of Conservative rule we have the highest tax burden for a generation and a time where many are struggling with the impact of rising prices. At the same time, there has a been an under investment in the country so monies are wasted on sticking plaster solutions rather than deep reform which will end up in adding value. We accept that the Country is at a tipping point and we ask that those with the broadest shoulders help out to allow us to carry out these reforms and be in a place where we can move confidently forward into the future

For a long time the tax system has been focused on those earning an income and the system has got overly complicated, we will simply if it by keeping the personal allowance throughout but have the 45% rate apply earlier which removes an unnecessary cliff edge. We will also look at removing National Insurance and instead increasing income tax rates.

However, we also want to address the fact that those with the most are often able to pay the least. We therefore propose to bring in a wealth tax on assets worth more than £2.5m, remove non-domicile status, look at the VAT that is applied to luxury products and those ordered on mail order from overseas firms like Amazon, review the Council tax system so it more accurately captures changes in property prices and review how inheritance tax works.

At the same time, those with the least have had the hardest time and, therefore, we will look to bring in a true living wage/universal basin income so that people are properly rewarded for the work they do.

Finally, £bns are locked up in annuities which include significant margins for prudence and profits which could be better spent building the infrastructure we need to compete and function in the next decades. Therefore, the Government will examine the possibility of acting as lender of last resort in respect of pension annuities at older ages (80+) where insurers and companies (via their occupational schemes) are forced to hold significant reserves in low risk assets.

Inflation is a global phenomenon and we believe it is damaging to the UK to make it the Bank of England’s once concern. The inflation target is to be updated so it takes into account global inflation and acknowledges that inflation can encourage innovation, efficiency and effective compensation. We will also examine the place low inflation targeting in the West has had on allowing more authoritarian regimes the space to bribe their populace without the danger of resulting inflation

We are letting down the next generation who are not being given the tools to succeed in a world with significant challenges from the impacts of global warming to a more fractured geopolitical environment to the evolution of AI and robotics. It is vital for all of us that this changes and that they can face the future confidently and with the skills they require.

The first step is to have high quality teachers which means they should be well paid, have the tools and authority to be able to succeed and there be enough that we can compete with the best countries in the world for number of pupils per teacher. Schools and their infrastructure then need to be safe and fit for purpose. Then the current curriculum, how streaming is used, and the way schools are assessed needs to be reviewed against those countries that consistently top the league tables.

Schools are often at the heart of their communities and will often be a safe place for children to retreat to if they are having issues elsewhere. We believe that we should build on this, expanding the free meals programme and having schools provide access to regular meals and a safe place for any child that needs it between 8-8 every day of the week.

For those who want something different to traditional education, we will offer a paid for voluntary residential national service which might include some “military training” but also in other vocational skills. This will be an opportunity to move to a new environment, learn new skills and earn some money.

For too long have we relied upon the City and latterly being a gateway to Europe, the world is moving on and we need to ensure that we move with it

Review of all industries that have been nationalised on the basis of what have they delivered in terms of bills paid by customers and investment in national infrastructure. Firms should not be producing returns much above government bonds in respect of UK operations. Should apply across all industries (travel/energy/utilities/etc). Given monopoly position – amount of dividends (and executive pay) should also be restricted (perhaps with payment above the “cap” only on the basis that a matching contribution is paid to UK plc).

Ambitious targets to be set for developing infrastructure, maintaining minimum levels of standards and customer price caps, if these are not met no executive bonuses or dividends can be paid or significant and penal fines are to be applied with the option of being nationalised if they cannot be met

Government support provided to companies in key strategic industries (including nuclear power). If necessary, Government to buy companies which are leaders in strategy fields and relocate to UK. Work with Universities to develop skill sets required by these companies. Look at how other countries operate these partnerships and ways they have developed these key industries

Provide significant rebates to corporation tax to companies that exhibit behaviour that benefits the UK (head office location/R&D budget spent in the UK/% of workforce in the UK/significant relationship with UK University or other bodies). This might also be used (alongside grants) to encourage start ups in key areas where it would be sensible to develop the UK (such as AI/robotics/etc)

Otherwise there needs to be significant Investment in infrastructure to support businesses (including broadband/roads/etc)

Britain’s reputation has been damaged but there is so much to be proud of and that we can build upon

We will take a step back from the culture wars which are used to distract from the very real issues we face

Embrace our cultural reach and the soft power it brings by supporting the BBC, the Arts and othe cultural engines

Reinstate the international development budget and ensure that it is being used to support those most in need

Support our universities and invest in our education system so that they remain world leading

Celebrate multiculturalism and the benefits of an immigration policy which encourages some of the most inspiring people in the world to relocate to the UK

Work alongside the EU to agree a fair and equitable refugee policy where we do our part
