Luckily in Scotland we've had political leaders for years working on those same things, like a national care service, free personal care for the elderly, and having Scottish water publicly owned. Seems like the current UK PM has taken lots of policy cues from Scotland! You're welcome!

In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K.
Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.

At the end of Louis Theroux's documentary he has to hide from the IDF as they are hunting Palestinians and he suspects they might kill him too.
Theroux says, "Can we ring the Police."
And the Palestinian laughs, there is no one who will protect them from Israel.
