Please submit your small ideas for fixing Britain to the Small-Ideas.org website. It’s a new charitable initiative I’ve set up to try and make sure life’s potholes don’t get ignored. Working with two charities and a cross party panel to turn your ideas into policy then try and make it happen.

Line chart titled 'GB News has lost £142m to date', showing cumulative losses in pounds rising steadily from around £3m in 2020/1 to £142m by 2025. The red line climbs most steeply between 2021/2 and 2023/4, reaching roughly £110m, then flattens as growth slows towards £142m.

The UK government promised to end the need for emergency food. 📣 So we spoke to MPs about how they can act to end hunger. People are turning to food banks due to rising living costs, unaffordable housing, and a lack of support from social security. These are all things that we can fix. 💚

Our polling consistently finds a majority of people now support the UK rejoining the EU. ESPECIALLY those prepared to vote Labour at the next election. And our research shows rejoining could deliver at least £92bn of economic growth for the UK. A vote winner and a growth lever. It's a win-win.
