Thank goodness for this. The big problem of the last decade has been too much public spending.

Finally someone is going to cut the waste of a those extra ambulances we don't need and the thousands of surplus nurses who sit around doing nothing.

As a teacher it will be sad not to have huge pay rises every year but we need to fund the tax cuts for millionaires somehow.

It will be nice to be able to walk down the street without seeing police officers every 5 minutes.

What public service waste do you want to see cut now we are finally going to stop the waste?

Compulsory euthanasia at 65 unless you have a child under 21, at which point, when the child hits 21 you get the Compulsory euthanasia but your child pays your extra years past 65.

Anyone with any kind of MH or neuro diversity gets chained to a radiator in an asylum. Those victorians had the best ideas!

No benefits of any kind for anyone ever. Can't offord to feed your child? They seem to mostly survive as street kids in other countries.

Pay for all schooling. Pay for all health care.

Fully embrace Darwinisum and make it the countries Compulsory religion.

I think the education budget needs to halve so maybe we’ll just stop educating girls - they are just going to have babies and stay at home doing housework instead.

Childhood vaccinations. We don't need them. Get rid.

Grandparents should be compelled to provide free childcare for their grandchildren so the parents can both work to cover the costs of education, healthcare, dentistry etc for their children.

Obviously the grandparents would have savings to cover this, they've had enough time to save up for their old age.

If you reach the end of your working life and don't have any grandchildren of your own I'm sure there could be some sort of scheme to find some for you.

The COVID vaccine , get rid of the boosters
Bin collections. A saving on there council tax
Let it pile up. They did this on the Middle Ages
Didn't do them any harm

If things ever go back to normal, I wonder how many of us will bounce right back into normal spending? I honestly don't think it ever will go buy clothes on whim, eat out without an occasion, get takeaway regularly or have my heating on without a massive financially buffer.

One - I'm realising I don't need these things

Two - I have seen my modest buffer vanish within a year

Three - even my teen is scared to put the heating on

Four - I can see these things aren't needed.

Don't have to look as far back as the Middle Ages to see rubbish pile up. Edinburgh had a bin strike in august, that was obviously a practice for things to come!

Yes my teens are scared as well - quite astonishing!

Oh yes, but the Scots resolved the bin strike didn't they ?
I do remember that on the news.
Stop paying 300,000 a year for security for prince Andrew. Let him pay it himself.

Yes they resolved the bin strike but as a trial it did work.
We don't actually need those pesky bin men who think they are keyworkers. We discovered you just stack your rubbish up at every street corner. Pile it high, the tourists and locals love it!

Good . Lose the aircraft carriers. Cut the Civil List. Stop spraying money on your mates for PPE and IT systems. Stop subsidising corrupt , incompetent railway companies. Ditto private schools. Abolish the Lords.

I'm sure there's lots more savings to be made!

Get ride of student loans so only the richest few can get degrees

I'm in favour of private schools as it clears a space for the ones whose parents can't afford it. Like Ms Truss's parents couldn't ( for example)
Put those children who didn't pass the 11plus ( or probably wouldn't ) in workhouses , make them earn their places. Children are such a drain on society not working until they are 16. Do they think they deserve such favours?
Education is wasted on those types of children surely ? Only those who can pay fees are worth it. Don't have children unless you can afford them and the school fees. If not , then home school.
Only those who can pay the Uni fees in full are allowed to apply.

Good point

Good thinking. Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng would be definite B Ark candidates.

Compulsory euthanasia at 65

But that wouldn't incentivise people to stay fit and healthy. Have regular physical and mental tests maybe? Obviously you'd be allowed to hire a proxy for these tests if you have sufficient funds.

Perfect, I knew that I would be happy to have the three years I've spent on the nhs waiting list increased to much longer. Who needs quality of life after all.

Austerity Mark 2 , the return of the cuts.
Its character building to be cold and hungry.

My dd actually said not to put the heating on this winter, she'd stay in bed to keep warm 😢😡

Stop funding high speed broadband in rural areas. A nice healthy walk to the (privatised) postbox is perfectly adequate for the sort of people who want to live near cows.

surely we don’t need to properly fund benefits at all - it isn’t the government’s responsibility to make sure people don’t freeze or starve. Those volunteers running the foodbank are free and so much more efficient

Exactly! People who live in rural areas pretend they're supporting the rural economy and feeding the nation.
The reality is they just don't want to live near the rest of us so cut their services I say.
Farmers as keywords! Pah I say!

Benefits are for wimps. All those working and claiming any money should be ashamed.
Bring back the workhouses, I can't think why anyone ever did get shot of those ?? Surely having the poor in one place would solve the energy crisis for them? They can all huddle together like penguins. Learn from nature.

And in 20byears time the Tory MPs of the future can better empathise the common people by telling them that they too suffered back in 2022 when Mater and Pater had to lay off the House Boy, send the housekeeper to shop at Waitrose instead of Harrods, and could only go skiing for ten days instead of eleven. It was a tough time for us all.

Wouldn't it cut crime to have them all locked up in one place too? I'm fairly sure the majority are criminals.

The contract for running them could be out out to tender too, even more savings then. I'm sure someone in the cabinet will have a friend who is wholly inexperienced in this sort of thing and will be able to run it.
