This your health, your families health at risk for an essential service the responsibility of which could be recognised as being met by basic government tax not as an afterthought.

100,000 signatures and this will be discussed in parliament. Most important issue in UK right now. Sign immediately. You know it makes sense.

As stated in the previous letter, anyone who thinks this problem should no longer be ignored and feels compelled to act to prevent this terrifying problem from reaching such proportions that it becomes too late to do anything.

Many people do not understand Fibromyalgia or even know what it is, therefore cannot understand the suffering that comes from having this medical condition & all the others associated with it.

I'm name after my dad, who I lost when I was fifteen years old. A few days after he died, his girlfriend bought the plot for his grave and had the rights regarding his headstone because she owned the plot. Once she bought the headstone, she changed his surname on it, despite him having two daughters (including me) with his surname. She also took it upon herself to not only change his last name on the headstone but he has no mention of being a dad on there either. I believe regardless of who owns the plot, no one should have that power over someone in death, so much so that they have the ability to completely strip them of their name and identity. A law should be put in place regarding the rights a person has to alter a name on a headstone, unless the person dead has it written in their will or has had their birth name changed legally before death. My dad was born into this world with the same name as me, surname included, and he deserves the same respect in death. I wanted to start this petition to get the attention of anyone who can sympathise with my story and help make a change. No one has the right to tamper with a persons name in death, regardless of them owning the plot of their grave unless it’s been written in a will stating otherwise. This issue hasn’t only effected me, and I want to make change as soon as possible so this doesn’t happen to anyone else. I’ve read multiple stories online of people experiencing something very similar. One that resonated with me deeply was of a man who had a young daughter with his ex wife. His ex wife went on to remarry, and she had every right to the headstone. She changed her late daughters surname from her own biological dads to her new husbands surname without permission from the daughter or the daughter's own biological dad. There was nothing her biological dad could do, as his ex wife had bought the plot therefore had every right to do what she wanted with the headstone. I believe these things should not happen, and I want nothing more than to make the laws regarding headstones and the ability to change a dead persons name much stricter to prevent this tragedy from happening to anyone else.

Sexual assault allegations against Prince Andrew led to him being pushed out of royal duties in 2019 and prevented from using his royal titles in 2022. But at a vulnerable time for the Royal Family, Prince Andrew has begun stepping in to undertake royal duties. This is despite the fact that the allegations against him remain active; Prince Andrew may have settled the sexual assault civil lawsuit against him out of court, but US court documents still allege connections between him and the case against the convicted child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. In view of this, it is vital that Prince Andrew is not permitted to undertake royal duties or use his royal titles.

Innocent civilians in Gaza are dying every day because of the conflict there. Seven aid workers, including British citizens, were killed “systematically, car by car” in a targeted Israeli air strike in Gaza while leaving a food warehouse. As the UN Secretary-General said in February, the “tragic human toll of the conflict in Gaza,” is appalling. This is why last week over 130 MPs and peers from different parties asked David Cameron to suspend arms export licences to the Israeli government, this week he reportedly warned Israel that the UK may cut off arms supplies if they don’t let aid into Gaza and respect international law. Pressure is mounting for the Prime Minister to act, 56% of voters back a ban on arms sales to Israel, and over 600 legal experts signed a letter today saying that the UK is breaching international law by continuing to arm Israel. But Rishi Sunak hasn’t heard directly from us yet - and a huge petition signed by all of us could be the final push he needs to suspend selling arms to the Israeli Government until they let aid into Gaza and respect international law.

If a car breaks down, stops or has to go very slowly for any reason they need to be able to go onto the hard shoulder and avoid being run into by other vehicles. Although smart motorways have created emergency laybys its complete luck to be close to them when your car stops. It's virtually impossible for a vehicle travelling in the current inner lane to be able to stop or move lanes to avoid hitting a vehicle which breaks down just ahead of them.

According to the Family Resources Survey (2021 to 2022), 16 million people in the UK have a disability. 11%, or 1.76 million of these are children. SEN children deserve the same opportunities as all other children but face many barriers to achieving these. Why does my child not have the same Opportunities to play as his sister does?

Many carers, pupils and staff are collectively, extremely dissatisfied with the current draconian behaviour “modification" policy being implemented by the Athena trust across all settings and we are making a request for positive change. Specifically, but not limited to Launceston Community College. We feel there is a need to implement a layered or graduated response to rule breaking, to provide more alternative options prior to ‘reflection’ (isolation) and ‘suspension’ (short term exclusion) being implemented. The current system is viewed as unfair, and often disruptive to education. Students are being excluded for very minor misdemeanours, such as wearing the wrong colour socks. This is quite clearly a disproportionate and inappropriate response. While we can agree that we want to support children to behave well, the current system is often exasperating and worsening the behaviour of a key minority of student, causing more issues than it is resolving. Where there are persistent and repetitive cycles of undesirable behaviour, followed by punishment, followed by more undesirable behaviour, the cycle needs to be broken. There needs to be a new emphasis placed whereby “suspension” (fixed term external exclusion) and “reflection” (isolation) are being used only as a last resort. We are asking for Athena trust to adopted a new behaviour policy which both pupils and carers feel is fair and proportionate and which offers support to the most challenging, and often the most vulnerable, students within the school system. The most vulnerable students will no longer be given repeated exclusions and instead will be given the help and support they so drastically need. The SEN Code of Practice (2015) advises that reasonable adjustments should be made to ensure that expectations of students with disabilities are developmentally appropriate and fair. We request that lower, middle and higher order strategies to support all students to manage their behaviour are implemented. These will include, but are not limited to: · A verbal reprimand / warning · Sending the pupil out of the class for a few minutes · 'Time out' from the lesson · Expecting work to be completed at home, or at break or lunchtime · Detention at break or lunchtime. (Note - with lunchtime detentions staff will allow reasonable time for the pupil to eat, drink and use the toilet.) · Detention out of school hours (usually, but not limited to after-school hours) · Referring the pupil to a senior member of staff · Letter / phone call / meeting with the parents of the student · Putting a pupil 'on report' · Removal from lessons (known as “reflection’' for one lesson only) · Implementing a behaviour contract. · Suspension · Permanent exclusion Removal from the classroom or ‘reflection’ and ‘suspension’ (known as external fixed term exclusion) will become one of the higher order sanctions, which may only be use for a range of serious breaches of discipline, or repeated, persistent lower-level breaches of discipline, and will no longer be the first port of call, as this is causing a huge disruption to education for some and is causing unnecessary anxiety. We request that these changes to the behaviour system are made following an inclusive consultation with staff, support staff, SEN/SENCO staff, parents, carers and students whereby consent will be given by the majority. A new behaviour policy will help to foster a more positive atmosphere where students feel safe, encouraged and supported. This will help create safe, inspiring places to learn where pupils feel their opinion is valued and they are being fairly treated. The system which is currently disproportionate and punitive for many SENs students will be replaced by the additional support and help needed for this minority to thrive. This will result in better academic outcomes and improved mental health.

Russ Cook run the entire length of Africa. That’s 9,940 miles. Russ ran the equivalent 385 marathons in 352 days across 16 countries. His efforts have raised over £900,000 for charity so far! Along the way he was kidnapped, held at knife point and had numerous issues with his body that stopped him from running. Russ Cook deserves to be recognised for his efforts and I think he should be included in the nominations for Sports Personality of the year. Let's make this happen and give the man the kudos he deserves! Russ encouraged health and fitness and showed what the human body is capable of, if you commit your mind to something. He is nothing short of an incredible inspiration to a lot of people and more people need to hear his story!

Thousands of bank branches and ATMs have disappeared from high streets across the UK in recent years. For many, losing their local bank isn’t just an inconvenience. Elderly people, rural communities and people without access to the internet are being cut off from vital banking services - and easy access to their own money. Barclays should reconsider the decision to close the Allerton Road branch to help those in the local community who don’t have access to online services
