Neston now has no banks or building societies serving the town. With nearby branches in Heswall due to close, the closest in-person banking services will soon only be available in West Kirby or Chester. This leaves many residents — particularly older people, small businesses, and those without reliable transport or digital access — without reasonable access to essential financial services. The Post Office in Little Neston cannot fully replace the role of a local bank branch, especially for more complex transactions, business banking needs, and face-to-face financial support. We call on LINK, the major UK banks, and relevant decision-makers to assess Neston urgently and establish a shared Banking Hub in the town, ensuring residents and local businesses retain fair, convenient, and safe access to everyday banking services. Access to cash and in-person banking is not a luxury — it is a vital service for a thriving and inclusive community.

We do not want the poor to subsidise the rich. It should be the other way around.

A secretive US tech company called Palantir is embedding itself into our public services - including running a huge patient database for our NHS. Co-founded by a billionaire Trump donor, it provides tech to Trump’s ICE immigration agency and the Israeli military. But right now we’ve got a major chance to get their NHS deal scrapped - and kick start a domino effect that sees ALL their contracts ended. How? Ministers actually have the option to cancel the NHS deal early. But with these contracts flying under the radar, it’ll take all of us speaking up to make that happen. If you agree that our NHS and other public services shouldn’t be cutting deals with a private company that helps armies kill people, sign the petition now!

It is important to support this campaign to stop the rot before it goes any further. Remember how much over development in housing is still occurring, we cannot afford to lose any public services.

Following the recent email from Launceston College about automatic after-school detention for students triaged in the last period, I am starting this petition because this decision is simply not acceptable. This policy doesn’t just affect students — it disrupts whole families. Many children rely on school buses. Many parents work fixed hours. Detaining a child after school without properly considering how they get home is not a small issue — it creates real problems. This change appears to have been introduced without asking parents. Decisions that affect transport and end-of-day arrangements should not be imposed without proper consultation. For neurodivergent children especially, sudden changes to routine can cause genuine distress. Discipline should not create unnecessary anxiety or chaos for families. We are asking the College to pause this decision and work with parents to find a fair and workable alternative. Families deserve to be heard.

Hinduism is the oldest religion in the planet. Hindu children feel highly demoralized and feel inferior to others when their religion is dropped out. Other religion kids bully them due to this discriminatory drop out. Many unique features like reincarnation, conciousness etc which are topics of research will come into light if Hindu religion basics is introduced, as these are present only in this religion 

Arguments for Triggering a By-Election When an MP Switches Parties 1. The Mandate Belongs to the Voters — Not the Individual In UK general elections, most voters cast their ballot for a party platform as much as for a person. Campaign leaflets, manifestos, televised debates, and doorstep promises are all party-branded. If an MP switches allegiance mid-term, they are no longer representing the manifesto voters endorsed. A by-election restores democratic consent. 2. Manifesto Commitments Matter Voters choose between competing visions — tax, public services, immigration, defence, welfare. When an MP changes parties, they may also change policy positions. Without a by-election, constituents are effectively represented by policies they explicitly voted against. A re-vote ensures policy alignment with public will. 3. Trust in Politics Is Fragile Public confidence in politics is already low. Party switching can appear opportunistic or career-driven — fair or not. Requiring a by-election: • Demonstrates accountability • Removes suspicion of personal gain • Strengthens democratic legitimacy It says: “If I believe this is right, I trust my constituents to agree.” 4. It Protects Democratic Stability Party balance in Parliament affects: • Government majorities • Confidence votes • Legislative outcomes If multiple MPs switch without electoral endorsement, it can materially alter the political landscape voters chose. A by-election ensures Parliament reflects current consent, not internal political manoeuvring. 5. It Encourages Principle Over Convenience If an MP genuinely believes their original party no longer reflects their values, that is honourable. But honour is completed by seeking renewed approval from constituents. Conviction should withstand scrutiny at the ballot box. 6. It Aligns Representation With Consent The UK operates on representative democracy — but representation must rest on ongoing legitimacy. Switching parties without voter approval risks undermining that principle. A by-election renews the social contract. 7. It Creates a Clear Democratic Standard Rather than public outrage, media pressure, or selective resignations, a rule requiring a by-election would: • Remove ambiguity • Apply equally to all parties • Prevent tactical defections Clarity strengthens fairness. Closing Line If an MP believes they can change colours and still carry the same mandate — then they should have nothing to fear from returning to the people who lent it to them. Switch the party. Face the public. Let democracy decide.

The traffic is always gridlocked, cars are backed up trying to get through. Also it is Dangerous for children coming out of school and also for drivers as cars get dangerously close to each other 

Those who are care experienced have often had multiple adverse childhood experiences (known as ACE’s). Typically, the higher the number of ACEs, the greater the incident of negative outcomes which can include: poor outcomes in education, early involvement with the criminal justice system and homelessness as well as many others. Shocking studies have shown that children in care are much more at risk of interacting with crime by the age of 24 than their peers. National figures indicate that over half (52%) of care experienced children had been convicted of a criminal offence by the time they had turned 24 compared with only 13% of those who had not been in care. Only 15% of pupils who had been looked after for 12 months or more in 2019 had progressed to higher education by age of 19.  However the progression rate for all other pupils is more than three times higher at 47%. Additionally, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for ending homelessness reported that ‘one third of all care leavers became homeless in the first two years immediately after they left care and 25% of homeless people had been in care at some point in their lives. By making care experienced a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, it would ensure care experienced children could not be discriminated against and help businesses, employers and public services to put in place better support systems.

This campaign has far reaching consequences; if mothers are not financially protected whilst on maternity leave, we often lose them to the workforce; we know this from a recent Brent NEU survey. We also know that mothers are forced to return way too early to our schools following childbirth, due to low pay, and this means they are unable to cope, physically and mentally, with a high stress job in a classroom. This is an equality issue as it ultimately forces these staff out of the profession either through sickness absence, capability processes or simply by a choice to leave. We also discovered that staff are choosing not to have children as they cannot afford to. Having mothers working in our classrooms is a good thing- they bring with them experience and knowledge of childcare and early childhood. We do not want them leaving the workforce when they become pregnant, or leaving Brent prior to planning a family because they see that conditions are better elsewhere. How ironic that staff in schools care for everyone else's children but cannot care for their own (many of whom are Brent children and will end up in our schools)! Education currently has a recruitment and retention crisis; paying more generous occupational maternity pay to our mothers in schools is one way of addressing this crisis. Let's keep mothers in our Brent schools!

Over 5 million people have been affected by the misselling of Plan 2 Student Loans, and should be treated as victims of a massive scandal. Many are accepting loans which the government acknowledges are unlikely to be paid off in full - primarily impacting the working and middle classes. Not only is this a scandalous issue of misselling, but it is also deeply rooted in class-divide and elitist concentrations of power.
