Good evening, Since the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic there have been fewer opportunities to take holiday. I work for a small company that provides high end dairy products and plays a key role in supporting around 50 small farms across the UK. As a business we were initially concerned that the pandemic mayContinue reading “Holiday Vouchers in Support of Hospitality”

In our current political and economical environment, it seems impossible for one not to suffer such anxieties surrounding life. For example, anxieties surrounding health, relationships and the future. These have raised fundamental issues for society and have shed light on the inability to control one’s ultimate destiny. It seems hope and happiness in our livesContinue reading “In the case of a problem, how might we fix it?”

As the UK witnessed post the first lockdown period of March 2020 the response to the Government backed scheme “Eat out to help out” was overwhelming with many pubs, restaurants and cafes often struggling to meet the footfall presented to them. This is the opportunity to turn this successful scheme into something that does notContinue reading “The next alliteration of “Eat out to help out””

The only goal ALL Members of Parliament, irrespective of party affiliation, should have when our Country faces a crises is to get through it as quickly and safely as possible while showing a united front.

Boris Johnson said in his book “Lend Me Your Ears”, “there are no disasters in life, only opportunities”. I wonder if he still thinks this in light of his government’s dubious prioritisation of public health during the COVID pandemic? Nevertheless, its important not to completely disassociate with such a sense of optimism. For while post-BrexitContinue reading “Britain’s economical and ecological plight post-Brexit”

There are two different needs – making the rules simpler, fairer and easier to understand – and transforming the service into one that sees taxpayers as valued clients and treating them as such, rather than behaving as an uncaring bureaucratic leviathan. These two linked but separate goals could be achieved by two task forces workingContinue reading “Making the UK tax system more user-friendly.”

We have a traffic problem and a pollution problem as well as a financial problem. There are a lot of huge 4×4 vehicles in cities. They are very wide and very long thus contributing to slowing traffic and creating jams. They guzzle petrol or diesel thus polluting hugely. They are mainly driven by young mothersContinue reading “Killing 2 birds (or maybe 3) with one stone”

Using local Facebook and WhatsApp groups each elderly /vulnerable person living alone with no support could be paired with a family or another person in their community who would take responsibility for their shopping together with a daily telephone catch up (could the phone companies fund this?). Or maybe for those with mobile phones anContinue reading “How to care for an ageing population in lockdown and going forward”
