What changes would you make to this country if you were Prime Minister to make it a better place?

An encoded constitution
A real bill of rights
Remove FPTP
A PR system of voting
Retire the monarchy from any involvement in politics.
Anyone who doesn’t live and pay tax here cannot own media outlets of any kind.
Allow Scotland a referendum on independence.
A deep and full search of offshoring practices.
 
One of my favourite songwriters. Put those lyrics from the "Close The Coalhouse Door" musical into Google and his name doesn't seem to turn up.
 
For starters, Implement Labour's 2017 manifesto, scrap Brexit, ensure we follow international law and honour our human rights obligations.

Egremont - not been there for years!

Some memories of the Old Hall and the Wine Bar in Egremont. ;) (y)

I was over there for more or less three years for Watsons and digged in a few places. I spent a bit of time in Cleator opposite the Three Tuns and just outside Egremont in an area known as Scurgill (Sp).
 
I would scrap the 40% pension holiday for higher tax payers, reducing the 20% too, making it 15% for all.

I would join EFTA and accept freedom of movement, which then in tun deals with the boat problem as people could be returned if deemed illegal.

I would send all tories to Rwanda for 12 months to research how the life of someone would really be.

I would introduce excise duty on vapes.

I would increase the numbers of prisons and make every prisoner serve their sentence in full.

I would ensure foodbanks became a thing of the past by having a sensible minimum allowance/wage for all to adequately live.

I would legislate for every worker to receive an inflation wage rise based on the average rate of inflation for the previous 12 months.

I would ensure football and all sports tbf were properly regulated and unable to be asset stripped, including a level playing field on transfer and wage spending.

I would re-introduce the death penalty for anyone who has murdered on more than one occasion (i.e where they do it again after serving time), or for mass murderers such as terrorist acts.

Carrying a knife or unlicensed gun, without good reason, would carry an automatic 5 year sentence, threatening someone a 7 year sentence using it a minimum 10 yr but upwards to life depending on the circs.

I would ban the current MFC badge and replace it with the 3 ships and rampant lion one.

I would make everyone be entitled to free education up to sixth form age and allow everyone the option of free education to study for a degree (or equivalent i.e doctor/nurse/paramedics) at any point in their life, but free for one course only.

I would make it compulsory that adult cyclists had to be insured and paid road tax when using a public road.

I would make unisex toilets illegal (not individual units like you find in public places or events).

I would scrap the honours system, House of Lords and introduce proportional representation and ensure any politician committing any criminal act, lost there position, was rightly prosecuted and banned from public office for life.

I would subsidise solar panels, fund hydrogen technology for heating and car use and ensure public transport was so cheap it made sense to use it.

I would ban the use of electric scooters.

Finally I would ensure the NHS was properly funded and end the postcode lottery of treatment, including in dentistry.

Oh, I would also make Katie Price and her ilk just stfu and end celebrity culture to boot.

In my second term, I’d ensure peace on earth for everyone, ta.
 
Over time there would be a lot I would change, however the absolute first thing I would do would be to pass a law requiring newspapers to print their retractions in the same position and size of the original article. If the original lie filled the front page, so will the retraction. ... I'd then move on from there onto a more representative voting system, wealth redistribution, nationalisation of rail and energy, ensure health (mental and physical) and education and social care were all provided for. Nobody anywhere should ever have to worry about a roof, a meal, an education and their health.

I'd resurface every tarmac, concrete, cobbled road in the country. To be replaced with porous asphalt. Goes some way to solving the flooding issues and fixes the quite frankly disgraceful road network.

Bring the education curriculum into the modern age and bring "living as an adult" education into the curriculum. Things such as financial planning, cooking as a must do lesson and not a GCSE choice, social skills and world affairs. Less focus on shakespeare, algebra and religious studies for example, have those three as a choice lesson.

Get rid of charity food banks to be replaced with a government assisted program accessible by all.

Every town/village with more than 500 people in it will have at least one accessible AstroTurf pitch for multi use from football to hockey and everything in between.

You don't live/drive on Park Road South do you ? describing it as "disgraceful" would be a compliment.
 
Education based on the Finnish model
Scrap the House of Lords.
Priority mental health support for all HM forces and emergency workers.
Change global ideology that growth is not about profits and the obsession with them.
Scrap food banks as no one will need them because the country will feed everyone.
Cap wealth of the mega rich stop insane wages for footballers actors musicians etc etc.
Share the wealth from football and other money rich sports to pro ply support grass roots.
Force MPs to be accountable to their constituents To actually do a proper job . McDonald to stand trial to explain what he actually does for Middlesbrough.
Level up the North properly so that we are all on an equal footing.

I could on and on
