Wow this wasn't my first thought but I admire your courage as politicians are apt to say.

My thoughts in no particular order:

- Reduce the foreign aid budget to emergency assistance only. In return agree free trade deals with key countries that will lose out on the money. Help them grow their way out of poverty.

- Delegate most powers returned from the EU back to national assemblies, return power closer to the people.

- Reform VAT e.g. tampon tax and other anomalies. Look to reduce the tax when we can afford it.

- Tax breaks for companies that invest in technology and training.

- Proper apprenticeship schemes

- Digital tax on Facebook etc. If you want to book your profits in Luxembourg then F off there. Otherwise pay tax in the UK.

- Scrap HS2 to save money.

- Scrap Trident if a cheaper nuclear option is available e.g. missiles launched from aircraft?

- Replace the Human rights bill with a UK bill of rights and responsibilities.

- Incentivize students to take degrees in skills that the nation needs by forgiving student loans e.g. Doctors, Nurses.

- Rename St Pancreas Station Brexit Central just to p*ss off the French when they arrive by Eurostar.

That all for now I must admit not much though and no costing.

Post-brexit policy number one.

Your remittance will oblige, UK.

Living in a parallel universe will not be acceptable, I am afraid.

tough love for anybody who has spent most of the last 3 years on the dole.

also for anybody who spends more time on the dole than working in a job. Work-for-dole and dormitory accommodation with drink/drugs testing.

withdrawal of financial benefits from any confirmed scroungers - replaced with food stamps.

compulsory success in English language tests prior to entitlements to any benefits (including healthcare).

lower taxes for the working poor - including more help with housing, childcare, health insurance.

mandatory long prison sentence for anybody carrying weapons, also for anybody over the age of 16 who makes minors carry weapons on their behalf.

curfew for 'bad-boys', troubled yoof, and 5pm house arrest for kids with previous convictions.

a year-on-year reduction in the benefits cap. With the removal of dole-heads from expensive places like London.

confiscation and audit for individuals who manifest wealth with no apparent means of demonstrating how they acquired it. Especially if linked to a suspicion of involvement with organised crime.

big tax and benefits incentives for couples with kids to stay together.

Men's rights :

'planned parenthood' to allow men who have just impregnated ladies to walk away without any responsibilities if they so choose. Including the right of wealthy men to walk. And if they choose to have the kid (in writing) then they choose to pay the bills.

'planned parenthood' to allow working men to allocate their taxes towards whatever kids they so choose....their own kids or those of a nearby relative, or other.

'planned parenthood' the right of men without kids to pay less taxes into the welfare state.

worker versus shirker rule : that those in a job will have a quality of life at least comparable to those not employed. And ideally 'better than'.

radical ideas, to all you Marxists out there.

Clamp down on non-EU migration and put in place a far more effective freedom of movement agreement with the EU.

We need migrants. Better than come from Europe. And if they move here, then they get a NI number upon registering and a 5 year period in which they are expected to pay a different band of NI to effectively fund any NHS costs. No unemployment payments or other forms of welfare.

After this period of time as long as they have contributed tax for say 10 out of every 12 months, no criminal convictions, have paid all tax monies owed and have a valid CT bill for that period then they are GIVEN a British passport.

Politicians need to be honest about migration. It is not about being all cuddly and living in some ludicrous coca-cola advert but the hard cold reality that we need to increase our tax base.
