Introduce legislation to massively decrease executive pay and introduce strict laws on sensible profit sharing within companies.
..and anything else which gets at the route of all the world's problems: excessive and insatiable greed.

forthers?
-Mandate a 4 day working week, incentivising the use of working from home by companies (probably get abused to **** though)
-National program on the transport network including scrapping ULEZ and smart motorways, etc. but mandating all new vehicles have some kind of hybrid system in use in built up areas, etc. and implementing a transport network for cycling and the use of smart/city car type vehicles, banning parking in the road on major roads and so on.
-Investing in science and technology

Like a frother, but spelt incorrectly 
@CapitalOne Perhaps you were frothing too much when spelling.

1. More tax for people who earn/own more than me, less tax for people who earn the same/less than me. Other people in the thread have made mealy mouthed statements which add up to this.
2 Proportional representation within regions, under the Sainte Lague system. Regions would be, for example, Wales, South West England, London etc. Adjust MPs returned by population within regions.
3 Term limits for MPs. No MP to serve within more than four parliaments in total.
I'm putting this one up as "for consideration" to replace my first suggedtion:
"1. Clear out 80% of the senior civil service- a random sample is fine- and re-recruit only half of those posts externally. Evaluate the results after five years."

It's for the ones who haven't identified as frothers yet.

I'd dissolve Parliament and sack everybody, it doesn't work and never has done, just jobs for the boys in all the Parties.
I'd have no idea what to replace it with though.

Abolish the regional assemblies and transfer their responsibilities to the Westminster MPs and County Councils
Break up Police Scotland.
Reform personal taxation, the basis being that income, no matter the source, is still income.
Implement Approval Voting.
Solve the cross-Channel immigration problem by targeting those who organise and profit from it.
Make the finances of all MPs and political parties public.
Make the salaries of all public employees public.
Make the BBC aggressively neutral. And prune it.
Legalise all drugs so they can be properly taxed.
Let local government raise funds as they wish, independent of national government.
Make commuting costs be paid out of gross, not net, salary.
Abolish state schools and turn them to the private sector but with public funding (q.v. Quangos). Any school that charges more than the per-pupil government funding must offer full-ride scholarships on a pro-rata basis.
Encourage magistrates to reward civic-minded citizens.
Reform elections: elections will run for 24 hours, 7 AM to 7 AM, but only limited polling stations will be open overnight. This will mean that almost everyone can get a good night's sleep.

I'm glad the people of this forum will never be PM after reading this
Fine. I'll settle for Overlord of the British Empire.
My next door neighbours have a large hybrid SUV (BMW X5) and it is one of the quietest vehicles around - kind of scary as you just hear a rustle/slight crunch from the tyres as it goes past. My truck on the right tyres is also pretty quiet when cruising albeit that is mostly used in the countryside and I usually use the Qashqai or another vehicle if heading into town/city.
I was tempted to just go with, seal off the borders and airdrop weapon caches to every street corner.
Most people can't get their prejudices, misunderstandings and short sighted thinking out in just 3 points.

Quiet at low speed, yes - they are great. The tyre and wind roar from electric SUVs driving at speed in residential areas is significant though.
