Hate and division should not be supported by a British Government by taking part through advertising and posting. We call on the UK Governent to withdraw all support and/or activity on X (formally Twitter). Musk's recent actions trying to whip up hate and violence, and platforming the likes of Tommy Robinson cannot go unchallenged. And yet the UK Government continues to use accounts on X.  Enough is enough. It's time our Government quits Musk's hate platform.

  Earlier this year, Reform UK MPs walked out of the Commons rather than sit through a debate about transparency in political funding. Their own funding. Nobody stopped them. Nobody recorded it. As far as anyone can tell officially, it never happened.  I'm a Green Party and 38 Degrees member. I pay my taxes, I vote, I try to actually engage with politics and honestly the bare minimum I expect back is for the people I'm paying to turn up and do their jobs.  Here's the thing that gets me. Voting records are already public. You can see exactly how every MP voted on anything. But whether they actually bothered to sit through the debate beforehand? Invisible. An MP can skip every single debate that matters to their constituents and there's no public record of it anywhere.  This isn't a dig at any one party. Plenty of MPs across the board don't show up. This is just about basic transparency. If 100,000 people care enough to sign a petition, the people we're paying to represent us should at least be in the room. And we should be able to see whether they were. 

I’m calling for an end to taxpayer-funded bars in Parliament because politicians should live by the same standards as everyone else. Most people don’t work in buildings with subsidised alcohol on site, and Parliament shouldn’t be an exception. At a time when people are struggling with living costs and trust in politics is low, MPs should be setting an example — not defending drinking culture at taxpayers’ expense.

What other workplace subsidises alcohol to employees in the workplace. Especially when their decisions are likely to affect the lives of other people. Bring in random drink and drugs testing. It has been observed on TV coverage of the Commons that members are attending and voting whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They are voting on issues that affect the lives of the public. Inspection of the toilets have found traces of cocaine in most of them. This is totally unacceptable in public servants.

He sounds like an excellent civil servant. Why are we getting rid off the good guys?  Sir Olly Robbins is clearly a committed civil servant. We need excellent civil servants like him and he should be reinstated. 

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. This petition is organised in partnership with Democracy for Sale, a best-selling newsletter on money, power and politics written by Peter Geoghegan and award-winning investigative journalists.

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!
