First-Year Actions
Status: Reconstructed archive document
Purpose: First-year action list for a new NRSA government.
1. Launch the National Spending Dashboard
Every payment, contract, supplier, department, target, and outcome published within 24 hours.
Purpose: end hidden spending and make waste visible before it compounds.
2. Freeze Major Government IT Procurement
Pause all new government IT procurement over £10 million pending a 90-day sovereignty and value-for-money review.
Purpose: stop new outsourced dependency before FlameOS GOV can assess whether systems can be built in-house.
3. Cap Consulting Spend
No new consulting engagement above £500,000 without written PM approval.
Purpose: force departments to use internal capability or justify why they cannot build it.
4. Freeze and Audit Foreign Aid
Continue disaster relief and life-saving humanitarian commitments. Freeze non-urgent aid pending audit.
Purpose: redirect non-essential spending to domestic infrastructure, carers, utilities, and public systems.
5. Suspend the Carer’s Allowance Earnings Cliff Edge
Immediate statutory instrument removing the binary income trap.
Purpose: stop punishing carers for working and prepare the route to £500/week carer recognition.
6. Establish Utilico
Create the statutory utility corporation and begin acquisition assessment of failing water and energy suppliers.
Purpose: end dividend extraction from essential utilities and move to cost-plus-maintenance pricing.
7. Establish Transitco
Create the statutory public transport corporation.
Purpose: one card, one timetable, one fare structure, under-18s free, rural service treated as infrastructure.
8. Assemble FlameOS GOV
Recruit a 200-person sovereign technology core team from open source, small UK firms, and competent civil service maintainers.
First deliverable: unified government authentication replacing fragmented identity systems.

10. Hold the Annual Public Confidence Vote
