What things would you change if you were suddenly the PM?

[blondeseaside]

For me :

Build more prisons

Every prisoner serves their full sentence

Minimum terms for certain crimes, so that people like the 14 y/o rapists would have to serve time, and no judge could overturn this

If Parole boards release a Prisoner, and they reoffend, then the Parole board members get sacked

Death penalty for the most serious crimes

Third spaces in prisons for Trans prisoners

No company is allowed to exist without a helpline manned by human beings

Royal Navy monitoring the coast, so that zero illegal migrants gain access

All illegal migrants already here, get deported today

No men in female spaces, unless they have had a full body transition and they have no criminal record

Minimum wage increased to £20 an hour

Tax personal allowance increased to £20k

Abolish higher rate tax bands - everyone pays 20%

Child Benefit capped at 2 children

Able bodied people on JSA to work half the week for the council (doing whatever needs doing that week)

Build more hospitals

Decrease the age you can get your State Pension to 63, across the board

Reduce Pension Credit to £100 p/w

Cancel ALL Foreign Aid

Cap Care Home fees to £500 p/w

Cap Council tax at £150 p/m

Abolish Inheritance Tax entirely

Abolish Capital Gains Tax

Rip out all car parking meters - if you want shoppers, they don't pay to park

Abolish arrangement fees on Mortgages

Abolish ISA's that expire after one year - they must run until you close the account (albeit you can review the interest rate annually)

No Trans women in female sports EVER - no exceptions

Now....I have no idea how I would fund any of this, but we spend £14 Billion on Foreign Aid, so that's a start....

In fact, I actually think that anyone was born while we were in the EEC/EC/EU should still be treated as an EU citizen. Sadly I am just too old but my son would qualify, so any British citizen born between 1973 and 2020. I would try to negotiate that if I couldn't get us to rejoin the EU/Single Market.

OP for PM

Deport every small boat migrant and not open new channels. Pass remigration for immigrants who aren't net contributors. Slash taxes to attract high earners.

Nothing, because the PM isn't an absolute ruler.
He or she has to go through Parliament.

Well, I guess that we can all thank our lucky stars that there is very little prospect of you ever becoming PM.

I only have one question, which is how much are you prepared to pay for all this ? Equated to pennies on basic rate income tax ?

You don’t sound very nice either @MyKindHiker using the word gammon

I would

• increase the council tax reduction to 50% for single occupation

• reduce the Civil service pensions

• increase the personal allowance to £20,000

-scrap the daily standing charges on gas and electricity

• implement regulations on heating oil (in line with gas and electricity)

• means test free bus travel for pensioners and instead give free travel to young people to help in low paid employment

• reduce the number of peers in the House of Lords by at least 50%

Abolish rollover relief

Whack mighty tariffs in any food import that doesn’t meet our food safety and welfare standards

Not sure how to do this one but change the environment so low paid workers don’t have to be sacked in order to claim benefits.

Allow businesses more rights. If someone doesn’t turn up to do a job you should be able to part ways amicably if they aren’t suited to the job or can’t do it without the employer paying through the nose in a settlement agreement
