Politics and sociology will defo help. Honestly, unless u want to do English at university, you should keep psychology and drop English.

Economics or geography would also be helpful (lots of politics within human geography)

i would just start with 4 and drop whichever one is least interesting. also, sociology and psychology are quite similar if that changes anything. english is good because it involves having excellent critical thinking skills and writing skills

You could maybe even choose law-related / court drama books for your English lit coursework - and then talk about these in your personal statement

I did politics, history and French and thought they were a good combo.
As other people have said, I recommend keeping psych over English - everyone I know who did psych loved it
