1) Change Winter Fuel scheme for Solar Panel installation scheme - Make additional revenue feeding power back into the grid whilst saving biddies money on their electricity overall so they can afford their heating. If biddies refuse to have solar panels installed cut winter fuel to nil. Their choice.

2) Cut foreign aid by 2 billion immediately and then 2.5pc year on year for the next 4 years. This will reduce the budget from 12 billion to 10 billion next year, then down to 9 billion by 2021. Review again then.

3) Introduce a foreign skilled worker tax for companies hiring talent in from abroad. 10% of whatever their salary and bonuses equate to.

4) Scrap reduction in corporation tax - leave at 20%.

5) Special rental tax for investment properties housing students; landlords in student populated towns currently enjoying cramming 6 people into a tiny house charging £350-£450 pm per room depending on location is disgusting.

6) Increase in university fees by 10% across the board. Gone are the days of sponsored jolly drinking degrees.
