Imaginary UK Government (Patriots’ Edition)

A tongue-in-cheek “Patriots’ Cabinet” and 100-day plan: borders made credible, energy made affordable, NHS backlogs blitzed, planning and red tape reset, and free-speech protected.

Plus quick résumés for each minister and a punchy scorecard so readers can judge the results.

OPINION:- The Sparkie’s Economy: Why Potential Drives Prosperity

Progress happens when there are differences in opportunity, ambition, and reward—when there is potential to be realised. Just as excessive resistance blocks electrical current, overregulation and forced equality stifle economic growth. True prosperity comes from allowing energy to flow, not short-circuiting ambition.
