Considering the UK has seen a number of terror attacks over the weeks, it is imperative hate preachers like Tommy who have a history of anti muslim behaviour are stopped immediately. Social media is awash with numerous examples of Tommy Robinsons anti muslim views. Such views could have motivated the attack in Finsbury Park and need to be investigated urgently to avoid a repeat. Far right extremism is on the rise and innocent Muslims are suffering. Tommy has said the Mosque near to where people were mown down created 'Radical Jihadists' and was promoting 'hate and segregation'. This will create further fear and hatred of Muslims and may motivate radicals to act against Muslims by launching further attacks. For the betterment of community relations this needs to be investigated urgently.

In the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire, people are rightly concerned about fire safety in their buildings. A 2013 coroners report into the 2009 fire at Lakanal House, Camberwell, recommended sprinklers in every tower block. But right now only two of the borough’s 181 social housing tower blocks have sprinklers installed. This accounts for 1.1 per cent of social housing tower blocks in the borough, and means 98.9 per cent of high rise blocks do not have sprinklers installed. Will you take a moment to sign the petition and ask the council to the right thing?

The Cabinet Office has responded to a petition on the parliament.uk website: Call a General Election in 2016. The wording of the response makes it clear that although over 100,000 signatures have been reached, the petition is unlikely to be debated: "The accusations made about the Government and Prime Minister in this petition are wrong, and the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act means no Government can call an early general election any more anyway. The Government and Prime Minister have never sought to mislead the public. Nonetheless, the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, which came into force in 2011 under the Coalition Government, removed the power to set the general election date, and therefore to call an early general election, from the Government and gave a power to the House of Commons to call an early general election in certain circumstances. An early general election can only be called under the Act if either a motion (as worded in section 2(2) of the Act) that there shall be an early parliamentary general election is passed by the House of Commons with at least two thirds in favour of the motion; or if a motion of no confidence (as worded in section 2(4) of the Act) is passed by the House of Commons and the House does not pass a motion of confidence (as worded in section 2(5) of the Act) in the Government or an alternative Government within 14 days. Aside from these triggers there is no way to replace the Government through an early General Election. Cabinet Office" Justifications for a vote of no confidence involve, but are not limited to: the victimisation of the disabled and working class, the erosion of public services, a blatant disregard for the value of our NHS workers, and the hypocrisy of a Government which moralises on tax evasion but fails to bring neither its own members nor its friends in big business to account, and a failing economy which is focused on financial irregularity and the dismantling of British industry. The British people do not deserve another 4 years of a Government which gained its mandate on a low percentage vote and promises which have now been broken. We urge you to be the catalyst for action and to press for a "No Confidence" vote in Parliament amongst your peers both within and without the party.

The residents and survivors have lost everything and need their friends, families, jobs, schools and support networks to ensure they can begin to rebuild their lives. Do not allow the government to socially cleanse them to other, less affluent areas.

Because innocent people are getting killed and hurt, he spreading false propaganda and lies, London fire tower and man ran Muslims over in London.. Tommy Robinson also said he's going to take the law into their own hands

We have all witnessed the horrific scenes at Grenfell Tower. We still do not know how many died but we can all imagine how they suffered. Ten fire stations in London have been closed and there are about 600 less firefighters in London - all due to cuts by the previous London mayor. The reason for the cuts was to achieve a total cost saving of around £22 million per year. This equates to less than a penny a day per London resident being saved. Small fry. You might, for example, compare this with the £3500 cost per year to every household in the country of corporate tax breaks, government subsidies and grants. The main justification stated by Boris Johnson for the cuts was that the demand is not there. We were told that there are now fewer fires than there used to be. Efficiency being the ultimate goal. But firefighting is not a commodity for sale; it is a life-saving public service and when fires unexpectedly rage as they do, you can not suddenly push a button and activate an increased supply of fire services to combat them. To paint fire services as a simple supply and demand issue is ignorance, delusion and stupidity, with potentially horrific consequences. When there is a huge fire like the one we saw in North Kensington, extra firefighters, vehicles and fire stations being available to serve and assist can be the difference between life and death for men, women and children. The impact of an underfunded and underequipped fire service is plainly clear. On the occasions that disaster strikes we need our essential services to be fully funded and ready to serve. This means we also need them to be fully funded when disaster has not struck. None of us know the next time that our fire services will be facing a large-scale incident but we must be prepared. The alternative is unthinkable. This is especially critical in London due to the large population and the number of high rise towers. It has been reported that at Grenfell Tower, the upper floors of the building were not able to be reached from inside and a special platform vehicle had to be brought in from Surrey to assist, even then the top was inaccessible. There was no choice but to let the fire burn out on the upper floors by itself. The maximum height platform available to London fire brigade is reported to be only 30 metres, when many of the capital's tower blocks are much higher. For one of the leading cities of the world, in one of the wealthiest countries, not to have access to equipment that could have helped to save lives is a tragedy and a shame. The Mayor of London must act now to reinstate fire services and to ensure that appropriate resources are acquired to help avoid another disaster like the inferno at Grenfell Tower.

Upon learning that families who decline to move away from their community & their lives will be declared - "intentionally homeless!" For the families this now means - withdrawal of promised support; loss of housing rights position; & most shockingly - potential loss of custody of their children!!! This is no way to treat British citizens, so I implore anyone who reads this petition, to sign it & send it across their networks, in order to help the traumatised families. Lets make sure that the lessons of past tragedies aren't repeated here; not now, not ever!!! Thank you.

As a result of the recent #Brexit referendum, world economies generally have been adversely affected with predictions of long term recession particularly for the UK. It beggars belief that our current government is now focused on internal party leadership matters and effectively washing its hands of the affair. Irrespective of individual positions and points of view concerning the referendum and its result, we now need our government to move quickly, clearly and decisively to manage the UK's exit from the EU.

Abandoning codes of practice for farm animal welfare is not in the best interests of the animals or those who will ultimately consume an animal raised in poorer conditions. The RSPCA said it has been voicing concerns for the past three years about the “downgrading” of the guidelines from statutory codes to industry-led guidance and criticised the lack of transparency around the process. The meat industry has had many scandals over the years and weakening regulations can only increase animal suffering and impact those consuming meat reared under poorer quality conditions.

“...for people who are already poor, it could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.” Baroness Tanni Grey Thompson, writing for for DRUK The Welfare Reform Bill proposes to cut Employment Support Allowance by £30 a week for those in the “Work related activity group”. This a massive 30% cut in a benefit claimed by hundreds of thousands of people who are too unwell to work, including those with mental illness, cancer and Parkinson’s disease. The government aims to incentivise people to get into work, but research by leading disability charities says this cut will actually make it harder in a the majority of cases. The Disability Benefits Consortium found that the cut would: - make it harder to be able to afford to take part in things like training, work experience, volunteering and other work related activity - lead to stress and anxiety as people struggled to pay the bills. This would affect people’s health and mental health. They even found that a third of people say they can’t afford to eat on the current amount they receive from ESA and 40% have become more isolated and less able to see friends or family after their ESA was withdrawn or reduced. The government’s attempts to improve access to work for disabled people are failing this community, with only 9% being helped into work since being placed on the Welfare to Work programme. In the new proposals, anybody returning to claim ESA after a period of employment, would only be able to do so at the reduced rate - reducing the incentive to leave the benefit system. It’s clear this cut won’t act as an incentive, but will simply punish those who rely on ESA to get by day-today and to find and stay in work. The numbers stack up to show that cutting ESA is a bad idea, but the real issue is the damage this will cause to ordinary people, suffering illness or with a disability, as they try to find and stay in work. We urge the House of Lords to reject this proposal and send this bill back to the House of Commons Useful links: http://www.centreforwelfarereform.org/uploads/attachment/461/spartacus-esa-mythbuster.pdf https://disabilitybenefitsconsortium.wordpress.com/2015/12/08/review-into-esa-cut-published/ https://disabilitybenefitsconsortium.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/almost-70-of-disabled-people-say-cuts-to-esa-will-cause-their-health-to-suffer-and-half-may-return-to-work-later/ http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Aboutus/News/Latest_News/Benefitscutsputcancerpatientsatriskofhomelessness.aspx http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/17/welfare-to-work-programme-failing-disabled-and-ill-jobseekers-say-charities

The Land Registry records the ownership of all land and property in England and Wales. If private companies get their hands on the Land Registry they’ll have one thing on their minds - profits. This could mean a hike in price for all of us, or a fall in standards because of cost-cutting measures. The Land Registry is a public service that is self funding and is not a drain on public finance. There's no need to sell it off to the highest bidder.

We have just learned of the devastating cuts that NHS bosses nationally are forcing the 10 hospital trusts in north-central London to make in the next few months in order to plug a £183.1m gap in their finances. In the referendum much was made by the leave campaign of the £350m a week that the NHS would be able to get if we left the EU. We are now leaving the EU, there should be no reason for any further cuts to our NHS, quite the reverse. So we are insisting that you honour the commitment that was made in the referendum, reverse the planned cuts and provide the essential funding that the people of the UK deserve for their healthcare system.

This is important for the safety of our country . The fire services should have reasonable pay rises ( they shouldn't have to take on second jobs to earn a decent income) . If you work in a office you can earn 40 to 50 grand a year these people are saving lifes and risking theirs.

Politicians should be held accountable both for their actions and for their failure to act in the best interests of the community they have been elected to serve.

The Coalition's astounding volte face for #50sWomen #StatePension created the swiftest, steepest 'Reforms' for the meanest State Pension in Europe *BY STEALTH*, for #50sWomen cohort. As a result, #StatePension #50sWomen are "grotesquely disadvantaged" - Frank Field MP, Chair, Work & Pensions Select Committee (Report 2016). #50sWomen had become "spreadsheet anomalies" - collateral damage - amidst the fallout from crash of the economy. Uniquely, their well-being and finances have been swiftly and stealthily annihilated: #BackTo60 - the return of their earned dues, in full - is what #50sWomen demand.

The slow and uncoordinated official response to the Grenfell fire is evidence of a need to have a centralised and powerful agency able to step in on demand with humanitarian aid within the UK's borders. Shelter, food, manpower, the reassurance of an official presence. The power to requisition necessary supplies, transport, and property. The UK armed forces already provide a ready supply of personnel and equipment on standby, as the use of troops in the 2012 Olympics evidenced. The new agency should have a remit to supply humanitarian support for national and localised serious emergencies, such support during major national disasters (flooding etc), serious terrorism incidents, and in other disasters, such as the Grenfell fire.

The Grenfell Tower fire is the worst residential fire since World War 2. It demands a serious, immediate attention.

We are fighting for the monies that both Labour and Tory Government have taken from the Miners since 1994/5. This money has been taken at a rate of 1m per-day,which equates to £8bn in total. We are looking to start a on-line Petition to call upon the U.K Government to review the Mineworkers Pension from the 50/50 sharing of the surpluses, to a realstic percentage. We are looking to the people of the UK to support the miners in this fight as the mine workers have been the back bone of this country of a number of years.

The victims should remember and the land should not be built apon!!

Many people are disappointed with the result of the BREXIT vote. Many 16-17 year olds wanted a job abroad, and now may not get them. When Scotland had the independence referendum, they alowed 16-17 year olds to vote. The turnout was greater than the 18-24 year old turnout.

It is important because no person or company should make money out of the death of all the people who died or have been displaced, and any housing that is build should be for the people who once lived in Grenfell.

In light of the recent terrorist attacks, hatred has risen. The Parliaments must show a united stand against all fractions who wish to divide this country

Sea Lice numbers in the west coast of Scotland have exploded in recent years as a result of the increasing number of fish farms and their inability to effectively control sea lice numbers. This is not just a seasonal spike, the sea lice numbers have consistently been above the threshold set by the Scottish Government at many locations over the last 8 months, it is now time for the Government to enforce necessary 'cull orders' under section 6 of the Aquaculture Act 2007 Quotes from the Salmon and Trout Association Scotland: "Wild salmon and sea-trout are a key part of Scotland's world-renowned natural heritage, but the latest figures for wild salmon numbers are very poor indeed. We know that wild fish need a huge conservation effort. What we simply cannot afford now is fish-farms like those in Loch Fyne or Loch Torridon pouring millions of mobile young lice into the paths of migrating juvenile salmon and sea-trout. The question for Scottish Government is 'how much more evidence of failure to control lice do you need before you start to use your powers to protect wild fish?'" "Conservation bodies keep being told that salmon-farming is a highly-regulated industry, but regulations only work if they are enforced. Those parts of this industry that fail to control lice must now face robust enforcement action. The statutory powers to control on-farm sea lice numbers to protect juvenile wild fish from lethal infestations exist – they must now be used. Its time for the Minister to tell the inspectors to get tough." The levels are now upto 23 times ABOVE the threshold limit at some locations - action is needed now. Recent evidence shows that one juvenile sea trout was covered in over 500 lice which is unprecedented and almost certainly fatal. further information on sea lice infestations can be found at: www.standupforwildsalmon.org

The National Assembly for Wales is the democratically elected body that represents the interests of Wales and its people, makes laws for Wales, and holds the Welsh Government to account. Despite being elected to represent the people of Wales, when sworn into parliament members of the Assembly don't swear allegiance to Wales or to the people of Wales, but instead to our unelected monarch, her heirs and successors. When elected our representatives are required to take the following oath or affirmation: The oath states: "I (Member's Name), do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Her Heirs and Successors, according to Law. So help me God." "Yr wyf i, yn tyngu y byddaf yn ffyddlon ac yn wir deyrngar i’w Mawrhydi y Frenhines Elizabeth yr Ail, ei hetifeddion a’i holynwyr, yn unol â’r gyfraith. Cynorthwyed Duw fi." The affirmation states: "I (Member's Name), do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Her Heirs and Successors, according to Law." "Yr wyf i, yn datgan ac yn cadarnhau yn ddifrifol, yn ddiffuant ac yn ddidwyll, y gwasanaethaf Ei Mawrhydi y Frenhines Elizabeth yr Ail, ei hetifeddion a’i holynwyr, yn unol â’r gyfraith." Any member who refuses to take the oath or the affirmation will be unable to take part in parliamentary proceedings and will not be paid any salary and allowances until he or she has done so. If any member has not taken the oath or affirmation within two months of the day of their election they shall cease to be a Member of the Assembly. It's one of the great ironies of our political system that our democratically elected representatives are forced to swear allegiance to an unelected monarch. It's an insult to democracy, and to the voters that participate. The oath has to change. This petition calls upon the National Assembly for Wales to establish a new oath of allegiance, one that pledges allegiance to the people of Wales, not to the Queen.

Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety. Yet our prime minister has just said ‘we won't take any more refugees’. He thinks that most of us don't care. But 38 Degrees members do care. We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need. Please sign and share, or start your own petition for your town or city here: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/efforts/refugees-welcome

It's important because it's where people lived and died so for anything else to be raised on that land would be disrespecting the deceased and the survivors. Also, it would be a reminder for the authorities of their neglected responsibilities that led to this avoidable tragedy.

My nan has lived on the 12th floor of a Shepherd's Bush Tower block for 40 years. She is 77, if a fire broke out in the flats on her floor or higher she couldn't be reached. She walks with a walker and wouldn't make it down the stairs. Who would save her ??? In light of the Grenfell Fire it's now More important than ever. The firefighters did an Amazing Job but they didn't have the resources to reach the top. This isn't their fault it's due to cuts, those victims had to wait for a crane from Surrey!

We recognise that an effective response to the horrific events at Grenfell Tower is not forthcoming from the Central Government or the Local Council, and that therefore the responsibility for safety of Londoners, the old, the poor, the young and everyone else falls to the relevant authorities with the largest democratic mandate from us. We therefore call on the Greater London Authority, and it's head the Mayor of London as well as London Councils to fit out all high rise blocks in Greater London that do not have fire sprinkler systems installed with fire sprinklers as soon as practically possible by the end of this year and if necessary using public funds. We also ask that the London Assembly to hold the relevant authorities to account on this matter, to make sure that all Londoners feel safe enough to sleep in their homes by the end of the year.

Firefighters have suffered the longest period of pay restraint in living memory. Firefighters put their life on the line and their pay is nowhere near good enough for the job they do, and do so well.

There is a national housing crisis, the NHS is in crisis, austerity is forcing cuts in many front line services. Now the Royals expect us to dig deeper to refurbish Buckingham Palace. The Crown's wealth is inestimable. This is, in a word, outrageous.

Some of the DUP’s views are dangerous. They include being anti-abortion, opposing same-sex marriage, and denying climate change. These views have no place in British politics. But they could end up having a lot of influence in the government. The UK government should lead the world on these issues. If the DUPs backwards agenda is allowed to influence UK government policy, it could set us back years. If you believe in action on climate change, the right of women to choose, and the right of every LGBT person to marry whoever they want, please sign the petition.

Many MPs have secondary interests such as investments, businesses they own or hold a stake in, or guaranteed jobs that they may return to once they retire from parliament. These and other conflicts of interest should not be permitted to affect the outcome of a vote. Currently MPs are required to declare such conflicts of interest, so that any bias of theirs is known prior to a debate, however there is currently no restriction on their ability to act upon such a conflict, rather than in the best interests of their constituents. For example, during the vote upon bombing in Syria and renewal of Trident, many MPs voting in favour of these have investment or involvement in arms manufacturing, presenting a clear bias towards anything that increases military spending. While these MPs should remain free to present their case, it seems only appropriate that they should be made to abstain, or to somehow prove that their intended choice represents the will of their constituents and not their own self-interest.

We the undersigned urge Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to appoint Green MP Caroline Lucas to his shadow environment team - assuming she would accept the invitation. There are both principled and expedient reasons for this course of action. First, it's simply the right thing to do: Caroline is an outstanding MP and person, and the Greens stood down candidates in a substantial number of seats in the general election to help Labour and Lib Dems unseat sitting Tory MPs. Labour did not reciprocate by standing aside in either Caroline's Brighton seat or in the Bristol seat targeted by Green candidate Molly Scott Cato; and this generous gesture by Jeremy would be an excellent way of showing our appreciation for the efforts the Greens made in the general election to move beyond the parochial triballsm of "the old politics". Such a course of action would also show that Labour is open to working collaboratively with progressive voices who can help advance the causes of the progressive left, including environmentalism; and it would give a strong signal to such forces that we can and will strive to work together in future to lock right-wing Tory governments out of political power for good. Offering Caroline a shadow cabinet post is surely a no-brainer - and we know that many if not most Labour members would support it. Please, Jeremy - do the right thing by us all!

Sara worked tirelessly to expose child sexual exploitation in Greater Manchester. Despite being ignored by children's services and police she carried on collecting evidence trying to get people in power to listen. Her work lead to the conviction of a vicious paedophile network and continues to be important evidence in ongoing investigations. This work took a huge toll on Sara so we believe it is right and proper that she is recognised by the state.

I don't think that many people realise that their tea bags are not 100% paper but contain plastics - usually polypropylene. Tea bags should be made from totally compostable/biodegradable materials, not just around 80%, as most currently are. Polypropylene is a plastic and 20% is not a small or insignificant amount when multiplied up by the millions and millions of tea bags used daily around the world. All of these plastics remains un-degraded in the environment. There have been many campaigns to keep plastics and micro plastics out of our seas, highlighting the harm they do to marine life. But the same is true of plastics on land as they can cause harm to birds and small mammals. We need to keep ALL plastics OUT of our environment. I believe that it is possible to use another material that is biodegradable - plant or fabric based. In fact, I understand that there is already one brand of conventional teabag which is polypropylene-free made by Jacksons of Piccadilly, so it is technically and practically possible. Lets make our environment plastic free and fully compostable with a change to the materials used in our tea bags.

Michael Gove voted to sell off our forests and woodland preserved by the Forestry Commission. He has received over £100,000 in support from an oil company. He supports fracking and voted to allow drilling in our National Parks. He tried to remove climate change from the school curriculum when Education Secretary. He has voted against measures to tackle climate change. He voted for the badger cull. He supports fox hunting.

IPP prisoners remain in jail indefinitely in England and Wales under the sentence of imprisonment (IPP), which was abolished in 2012 for future offenses. Many have long exceeded the punitive tariff imposed for the offenses they committed, in some cases as little as a few months. However, at present IPP prisoners must seek release on parole on the same terms as life sentence prisoners, although the Justice Secretary has a statutory power to establish a new release test. In several cases the European Court of Human Rights has found continued IPP detention to be arbitrary and in breach of Convention rights. Lord Lloyd of Berwick, former Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, said: "There are thousands IPP people in prison who arguably shouldn’t be there and have no release date. A senior high court judge describes them as ‘the disappeared'...“This is a crime against humanity. We are talking about people here who have paid for their crime who have finished their sentence who want to return home to their families build their life’s back up” IPP sentance is effecting the prisoners Mental Health It should also be noted that apart from the IPP prisoners themselves, the real losers are their family and friends who are often left struggling to understand the realities of an IPP sentence often at a loss as to what to do about the nightmare situation in which they find themselves.

Political satire is important. It's comedy but with a genuine message and a social narrative that doesn't just cut through the partisan mud slinging; It holds it up to the light and mocks it for absurd and useless, waste of time it actually is. Comedy is much more than a giggle and a bit of fun. It is social commentary, it is unifying and it is a powerful way to communicate. Political satire needs a bigger, bolder voice; Franky Boyle can't do it on his own.

Proportional Representation, whilst it has its issues would seem a fairer system to get fair representation of the population. We now have a government that represents less than 25% of the people yet they will be in power for the next 5 years. What we need is a fairer system reflecting the views of the diverse population.

Tory MP compares calls for financial transparency for MPs with a "ban on curtains" and George Osborne changes his mind on anti-money laundering checks. This government isn't serious about anything, never mind tackling tax avoidance: "The Chancellor has caved under pressure from influential Tory Charles Walker, who last week refused to reveal his tax returns George Osborne has agreed to make MPs exempt from anti-money laundering checks under pressure from moaning Tory backbenchers. ...Ministers will now move to exclude MPs from the watch lists in the forthcoming Bank of England bill. Mr Osborne caved under pressure from influential Tory backbencher Charles Walker, who has been pressing for the change for some months. Mr Walker, who chairs the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs, last week threatened to table a bill banning curtains if he was forced to publish his tax returns." This is bullying tactics designed to try and cover up, the general public have to detail everything to the government and law or face the consequences. Not a problem if we have nothing to hide. So why should MP's who are paid by the people to do a job for the people be allowed to get away with it......

Whichever way you voted in the EU referendum, I hope you will agree that we live in a small country with a high population density and ever increasing pressure for development of our green areas, which both support our wildlife and give people space to exercise, relax and play. We have lost so much natural habitat already it would be a tragic if one of the results of this referendum is the erosion of our remaining wild places and their associated wildlife. Due to our high land use, it is also important that stringent regulations on pollution of air, water and land are kept in place. This will ensure that our small island remains 'a green and pleasant land'.

Imagine that pile of rubbish pictured creating a corresponding mountain of tax revenue from whomever is unnecessarily putting non-recyclable materials into the supply chain. In Germany, the supermarkets themselves have bins near the checkout area into which customers are tacitly invited to place their unwanted packaging items for the retailers to dispose of. We need to minimise the use of non-recyclable packaging in retail, especially our fresh food. I used to work at a labelling factory: there are other viable ways of packaging, tagging, labelling and barcoding products that do not entail use of non-recyclable products. Nor is there any need for food retailers to ask customers to use plastic bags to package products such as loose vegetables in for weighing at tills (they need to be transparent for the person on the till to identify what they're weighing). It used to be that loose items would be weighed by staff in the same way as at their delis, where barcoded labels would be produced for the till staff to scan at checkout. More recyclable products - not film, tetrapack, or anything else that is not widely recyclable - should be used. I also want to see a ban on the use of any non-recyclable disposable gloves used in food retailer outlets such as a well known sandwich retailer, whose staff seem to change gloves each time they touch meat and are then trained to put on new gloves when they make another sandwich: there must be a better way. Retailers could be taxed for the amount of packaging waste they put into the system , and for the amount of non-recyclable packaging they are bringing into the system from their plants and the products they bulk buy and sell on. This would reduce non-biodegradable waste in landfill, and encourage reduction of unnecessary packaging - I don't want film around a DVD or a cucumber - which are uniform in price anyway - so that the supermarket can put a barcode on that rather than the products directly. The UK should especially given the Brexit choice, prioritise innovation in packaging technology that could be sold to the world instead of perpetuating the inertia that seems to plague politicians on green issues (possibly for fear of upsetting sectors that lobby and contribute to the economy, and perhaps also donate to political parties). For example Amazon have reduced their non-recyclable packaging (although they do not apparently pay enough tax): we should take the principles and positive elements of what such global corporations do and apply them more widely, and look into other countries' green packaging solutions. Ministers should stop their myopia and short-termist electioneering campaigns over-focusing on natural greed and our desire to preserve individual wealth, and look at ways to boost our economy, further the manufacture and use of green technologies, reduce waste in landfill and increase tax revenue from the massive national and international corporations controlling our food industry and pricing. The reality is that all the larger supermarkets are trying to convince us that they are ethical and have a corporate social responsibility, and this would be a good way of demonstrating that they mean it. Not everyone I know on social media has awareness of green organisations trying to further this project as a common aim, but would support the idea of such a tax: even if they do not believe in recycling, the vast majority would like to have less recycling to do, and would agree with there being fewer non-recyclables in the supply chain and the notion that corporations should be paying more tax. Green issues and tax revenues affect us all - many excuse their failure to recycle because they say our species is hurtling toward its doom in any event. It is exactly that sort of attitude that is damaging our world: we should expend our energy on ways to save ourselves instead: if we can get to the moon why can't we stop over-relying on non-recyclable packaging?

Sixteen and seventeen-year-olds are the future of our society, so we believe that they deserve a say in this future. Voting is a right, and we don't believe that there is a strong enough case to deny this right to sixteen-year-olds. Sixteen-year-olds can already do so many of the things that adults can. They can work, pay taxes, start a family, and join the military. However, they do not have any say in the rights that they have in this job, how much they pay in tax, what those taxes go to, how the government treats their family, or what that military fights for. Rights are things that are given, and only taken away when there is a strong enough case to do so. When it comes to voting, and when it comes to sixteen-year-olds, we do not believe that there is a strong enough case to deny the right to vote to sixteen-year-olds. For these main reasons (and many more!) we believe that sixteen-year-olds, should have, and need to have the vote.

In the aftermath of the recent Manchester bombing and the London Bridge atrocity, The Daily Mail published a front page headline and a 13 page campaign against Jeremy Corbyn's inner circle and The Sun newspaper simultaneously published a libellous front page article entitled "Jezza's Jihadi Comrades", one day before polling stations opened for the General Election. These actions had the clear aim of influencing public opinion to believe there was a link between Jeremy Corbyn and Jihadism. These actions are highly inflammatory as they prey on a heightened state of public fear against Islam as well as potentially undermining the UK election campaign as a whole. We call on The Daily Mail and The Sun to issue an immediate public apology to Jeremy Corbyn.

In light of the British electorate's response to The Government's request for a mandate to pursue what has been termed a 'hard Brexit' approach to leaving the EU I believe that the Government should now respect the will of the people for a 'softer Brexit'. In order to demonstrate that commitment I petition The Government to include a clause in The Queen's speech to guarantee to the British people that the UK will remain within the single market as part of the terms of withdrawal from the EU.

i think they should put the country first make history and unite for the sake of stability i call on jeremy corbyn to call for a joint administration

This petition argues that the Con/DUP alliance/coalition is wrong for Northern Ireland and the UK as a whole, and compromises the government's role as a neutral broker in the region.

48% people voted to remain in the EU. In the 2017 election 42% voted Conservative and 40% Labour. In Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales there are other parties and other views on Brexit. It's everyone's future.

Many people, especially younger people, are disenfranchised by an archaic system of voting.

UK has voted out of the EU and needs all hands to contribute to the national development. If illegal immigrants who are already in the United Kingdom are granted amnesty, they will play a major roll in the development of the country. An amnesty could yield an additional millions of Pound Sterling a year of Income Tax and National Insurance receipts. Granting an amnesty to the illegal immigrants who are already in the country will bring them out of the shadows and into the real economy and they can contribute to the tax system. In the process of granting an amnesty, they will pay fines so the legalisation will not be dependant on a taxpayers’ money and it will be self-sustained, and also to have a proper criminal checks. The case of amnesty extends beyond economics. It is also a human thing to do. Regularising status to illegal immigrants avoid vulnerability exploitation and destitution as well as avoid creating a situation in which they are more likely to be pushed into the black economy. In extreme cases, illegal immigrants can slip into sexual exploitation and forced labour. The Prime Minister, Theresa May said , the government she leads will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few but promised to give more control over everyone's life in the country. Illegal immigrants really want to take up jobs to support themselves, their families and the national development but they are unable to do so as their lives are restricted in a multicultural country where the whole world look up to due to resident permit. Please grant amnesty to these illegal immigrants who are already in the country to live a normal life and to contribute substantially to the national economy.
