It's plain common sense.

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

Mr Starmer could also advise other European countries that have US interests on their land to do the same. The USA have threatened to invade Greenland, an ally of ours and a fellow member of NATO.  The USA has personnel, equipment, aircraft, ships, missiles and other weapons on UK soil, which would aid the USA to carry out its threat.

With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful message that his behaviour is not acceptable. A visit could also put the King and Queen’s lives in danger. Trump has also recently claimed that Nato troops in Afghanistan "stayed a little back" and avoided the front lines. This is a slap in the face to all the British service personnel who served in Afghanistan and the 457 who lost their lives. Giving Trump the prestige of a royal visit after he has so brazenly insulted our veterans and their sacrifice would be a disgrace. 

British politics has a foreign interference problem. An undercover investigation by Democracy for Sale and Led By Donkeys has revealed how shockingly easy it is for secretive Chinese interests to penetrate the heart of British politics. As part of a sting by our journalists, a fake Chinese AI company was able to pay a lobbyist to arrange face-to-face meetings with ten Labour MPs as well as access to government ministers. Unbelievably, the former MP who set up this “cash-for-access operation” may not have broken any lobbying rules - because the existing safeguards are so weak. Experts are calling for "radical reform" in the wake of our investigation. The UK government must tighten up the rules right now to prevent more damaging scandals.

76% of British people want the government to require AI generated content to be clearly marked. Technology Secretary Peter Kyle is working on a new AI Bill. He plans to bring it to MPs for a vote from 2026. Meat, fish and seafood have to be labelled with the country they come from. Why shouldn't AI content face the same limits? AI could give British people a lot. It could help improve public services, from trains and schools to NHS and housing. It could make our work faster and better But it also comes with risks. AI generated videos on TikTok and social media are driving division and spreading misinformation. AI generated music and art is putting workers out of business and making it harder for people to be creative at home. We can stop this before it gets worse.

Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control the county council - been banned from talking to the Nottingham Post & Nottinghamshire Live, just because we wrote an article they didn't like? Our report asked legitimate questions about local government restructuring. That's our job. When councillors pick and choose which journalists get to talk to them, they can control the story and hide the truth.  This isn’t just about one newspaper. It's a massive attack on democracy and vital press scrutiny. If you agree, sign the petition now!

British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political parties and their leadership. The Labour manifesto promised to “protect democracy by strengthening the rules around donations to political parties.” But the recently launched Elections Bill has nothing to say about caps on political donations.  Under their proposals, a billionaire like Elon Musk can still give as much money as he wanted to a British political party. This needs to stop. Now.  So we need to make it very clear that we want the Prime Minister to cap political donations. Our democracy is too precious to be bought and sold by the super-rich.

Sir Keir Starmer is considering a mandatory digital ID scheme called “BritCard” that would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives. Mandatory digital IDs give the state enormous control and treat the population with suspicion. Introducing one in Britain would fundamentally change the nature of our relationship with the state, eroding our rights and freedoms. We all want to be able to prove who we are safely, privately, and conveniently but while digital ID can be helpful for some people in certain situations, it is not a magic solution for all scenarios. People in marginalised, vulnerable and minority groups are more likely to have reduced access to online services (e.g. people with disabilities, low income or the elderly), particularly where digital identity is a requirement. That is why we’re fighting to protect your privacy rights by calling for this dangerous proposal to be scrapped. Britain has a long and proud history of rejecting proposals for mandatory ID, and we should reject this one too. We can win this fight again, but we can only do it together. If thousands of us sign this petition, we can make Starmer reject the “BritCard” proposal.

Peers who break the rules get to keep their titles and return to the House of Lords to make our laws. They may serve a suspension, but then simply walk back in. This includes peers found guilty of bullying, inappropriate lobbying, and other serious breaches of the Code of Conduct. Meanwhile, MPs who commit serious breaches of the rules have to resign or face being chucked out by the voters in a by-election. We think peers should be banned for good if found guilty of serious breaches of the Code of Conduct.  Those who break the rules should NOT have the power to make our laws.    Sign the petition today to send the Lords Conduct Committee a clear message: if you seriously break the rules, you lose your seat. No exceptions.

The disabled and the pensioners have been subjected to cruel attacks. Despite promises that those with the broadest shoulders will pay, everyone seems to be getting poorer - except the very rich.   We were promised that there would be no return to austerity. It is time to make our voices heard and say to Starmer we have had enough. Please sign this petition.

The Open Championship must not give in to the UK government's lobbying and allow Donald Trump to host one of the world's biggest, oldest and respected golf tournaments at any of the golf courses he owns in the UK.  Donald Trump is a divisive individual who is busy breaking the global economy and promoting racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and transphobic messages around the world. He is ignoring national and international law, ruining people's lives, imprisoning people without due process, and bullying Ukraine. He should not be REWARDED by our country.
