What government could or should do…

Every government will need to focus on Food, Energy & National Security.

If there is shortage & scarcity is driving price up, excessive immigration (legal & illegal) & open borders is not the answer. High supply of people will continue to drive down wages as was achieved under Blair. High demand on housing, schools, NHS will only make matters worse.

This government should seriously look at housing. Using the value of the council housing stock as equity, government should intervene in the housing market. The 6 large developers have plots worth a million dwellings. There should be incentives in place to get them delivered sooner. There should be levy that should be charged on undeveloped land / land hoarding.

We need to invest in smaller nuclear power plants; wave, solar & wind energy; govt company should be set up to tap into our own oil & gas in North Sea and create sovereign funds just like middle-eastern countries.

Minimum Wages should be raised in social care & sectors where there is skill shortage/ brain drain.

Tax cuts and/or simplified tax system to spur investment in human capital, machinery, 5G & infrastructure will bring about growth.

Stronger regulations on utility industry & a small Robinhood Tax on forex markets will ensure that these sectors serve the society.

Banks need to be incentivised to pass on the benefits of lower interest rates to the rest of the economy.

Government should strive for world class education rather than tangle itself in unnecessary outdated ideology. Education should be subsidised & never taxed!

NHS is failing because the focus is on providers rather than the patient.

Government also need to invest in improving our waters and strengthening the coastal & river defences

Finally, I would remove all the additional layers of bureaucracy since Blair’s time to restore the link between MPs and their constituency. Mayoralty & such bureaucracy has failed to achieve extra housing or improve local environment or transport. It has failed to reduce crime too.
