Make a law that companies hiring for roles paying under £15 an hour can’t hold more than one interview round, and must prioritise those currently on Universal Credit. All jobs under this threshold must be posted to JobCentre sites.

There is an increase in drone footage being shared online of potentially serious life threatening incidents, in some instances affecting the use of emergency services' own aircraft. I would propose that for all incidents and immediate 100m

Introduce a national scheme investing £1,500 for every newborn in the UK into a long-term retirement fund. The investment would grow over decades through compounding. Full access could be linked to building a UK National Insurance record to
