To ask what ONE thing you’d want the government to spend more money on? Or top three perhaps…

[AngryBirdsNoMore]

Inspired by one of the threads on the £100k cut off for funded nursery hours. On these threads, there are always replies that there are better things the government could be spending money on than paying for childcare for higher earners.

I don’t disagree - but I think we’ve all got so used to the idea that there isn’t any money for ANYTHING.

So if you could fund or increase funding to any one thing (or top three if you can’t choose), what would it be? Blank chequebook time.

And is there anything you would stop funding to…

For me, it’s education. Fund more teachers (reducing workload) on better pay, improve facilities in all schools, and make sure there are no black spots with no primary school provision.

Meanwhile, I’d stop funding subsidised bars and restaurants in parliament. There are loads of food and drink options in Westminster - or they can eat in parliament but pay for it.

NHS, transition to green energy, education

Probably our military capability.

Because that's where the cost/benefit analysis comes in. The free school meals for reception/KS1 showed an increase in educational attainment and a decrease in costly health issues. Childhood obesity post pandemic in another ticking time bomb so good nutritional meals for children will be an excellent investment. As will anything in PE/play for mental health issues and obesity.
