Here's a few ideas:

​

* Reverse the energy cap changes.
* Nationalise the utility companies like France did.
* Allows Scotland to have a referendum so we can leave this sinking ship
* Increase minimum wage so it's enough for you to survive
* Provide free meals to all students all year round as well as other necessities they need
* Consider a UBI and do some more studies to see if it will work or not
* Introduce free public transport and fix the failing rail networks so people can get around more easily and find jobs further away from home if needed and so people don't have to rely on expensive cars
* Remove NI contributions and bake it into the regular tax payments so that rich folk don't pay less NI (as a % of income) than people who are struggling. This can raise a lot of money for the government to spend on the above things I mentioned
* Stop wasting money by subsidising animal farming and instead move towards a more sustainable, cost effective plant based food system
* Setup schemes to improve the insulation of old buildings to lower energy bills (and whilst you're at it, allow listed building to have more energy efficient windows installed)
* Not rely on Russia for such a huge percentage of our energy needs, in case I dunno, they decide to invade another country and withhold the gas for political gain

I'm sure there are more things as well, check out the Scottish Greens and SNP manifestos for a few more ideas of what's posisble
