How can the UK rebuild trust and performance in public services?

From the NHS and local councils to transport and policing, many public services in the UK are under intense pressure. Staff morale is low, waiting times are up, and citizens often feel short-changed despite record spending. With Rachel Reeves promising to make the UK “a country that works again,” the challenge isn’t just about funding — it’s about delivery, trust, and accountability. So what would really make the difference? Is it technology, leadership, local control, or culture change? How do we make public services work better — for both the people delivering them and the public who rely on them?

Should the UK prioritise fixing the tax system or unlocking investment to drive growth?

The UK economy faces a crossroads. Businesses argue the tax system has become too complex and unpredictable — while investors say the real bottleneck is access to long-term capital. Rachel Reeves has pledged to deliver “stability and growth,” but can she do both? Should her first Budget focus on simplifying and reforming the tax system — restoring confidence through clarity and fairness — or should she channel resources into unlocking investment, innovation, and scale-up capital? Where should the balance lie between fiscal discipline and bold economic stimulus?

What would be your biggest win for Rachel Reeves’ Budget in the UK?

As the new Chancellor prepares her first major Budget, founders, investors, and business leaders across the UK are watching closely. After years of policy uncertainty, many are hoping for a clear signal that Britain is serious about growth, innovation, and investment. What one policy change would make the biggest positive difference for you — whether you’re a startup founder, small business owner, or part of a scale-up trying to compete globally? Would you prioritise simplifying the tax system, boosting access to capital, or reviving incentives for risk-taking? Or should the focus shift toward long-term industrial strategy, green growth, or reforming how the government itself buys from SMEs? Share your perspective — what specific move from Rachel Reeves would count as a “win” for business, innovation, and the UK economy?

UK Cash ISA vs Stocks & Shares ISA Policy Changes

The UK government is considering proposals to reduce the annual allowance for Cash ISAs while encouraging more savings into Stocks & Shares ISAs. This would shift the emphasis from guaranteed savings products to investment-based products with market exposure.
