Create an asset register and apply a 2% annual tax on individuals with net assets over £10 million. Introduce safeguards, like an exit tax to prevent assets being moved offshore. We think these measures, particularly for real estate, would

Lower the age that someone can be considered a victim of domestic abuse

The law defines domestic abuse as abusive behaviour by one person towards another, where both people are 16 or over. We think this should be changed. Our daughter Holly, aged 15, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and we think this case shoul

I believe a referendum in Wales is needed on whether to abolish the Welsh Parliament.
