Where would you begin if you were the next government?

the first thing I would do is review the tax code so that anyone who does business in this country pays tax in this country. Not a return to the punitive taxes of the 60's of course, but a good look at situations which (legally) permit the Ritz hotel in London to pay no Corporation Tax for years. Too many large companies don't pay proportionate tax, and no, I don't think an organisation the size of Amazon will just up and leave if they have to pay a bit more tax on their massive income.

I think, being realistic that some of the aspirations will not be achieved for a few years. The NHS and Social Care for example is unlikely to be improved in the short term, you’d need a magic wand to do that.
I’d like to see them set out a measurable plan of action, and monitor against it so the public know where to expect improvements and what the timescales are. Short term, giving councils and devolved governments specific funding to clean up, clear up, and improve the state of the roads, pavements and public spaces would be money well spent in year 1 - we need a kick start equivalent to as a woman having your hair done, which just makes everything feel better.

It will take years of careful planning and using resources where they are needed most before we have a country that is working efficiently again. I hope for improvement but it won't be happening soon.

I'd start with the nhs waiting times, both for gp appointments, as well as hospitals.

Then there is s social care and reintroduction of sure start.

What a dreadful state we are in!

The NHS has been a ticking timebomb for years, that no government has managed to reform.
They could start with the filthy state of our rivers and the water firms.
Next the state of provision for kids with special needs, far more funding and imagination should go into that from all I’ve read about on the subject.
Allocating more funds for Councils to spend solely on recruiting more social workers.
Just for starters.
