• Labour MPs voting in favour of Fiscal Charter
    In this time of austerity, cuts and financial difficulty for some of the poorest in society, we need a strong opposition to Tory policies. A minority of Labour MPs cannot be allowed to divide the party on such important votes which will affect millions of people.

  • END UNRULY BEHAVIOUR DURING PRIME MINISTERS QUESTIONS
    This behaviour is not only disrespectful and disruptive of proceedings (setting the worst example to the country and giving a terrible impression abroad), but it is used to bully and intimidate legitimate questioning of the PM by our elected representatives and shows contempt for the citizens of the country. There can be no justification for it and it must be stopped - the House of Commons is NOT a school debating society.

  • Stop the RIGHT TO BUY!
    To house those on low, minimum wages. Let us break this English notion of home ownership. Promoting "Thatcher's" edict of house ownership is to saddle poor people with unaffordable morgages to keep them screwed down so as not to cause trouble. Keeping the lower classes in debt stops industrial action and allows the population to be more manageable.

  • Publish the sugar report
    Public health experts agree that a high sugar diet is a major cause of obesity, dental caries and other associated problems. High sugar foods are predominantly processed foods, cheap and pushed with advertisements. Education and publicity on their own are not enough to prevail against this. Government prefers that the industry should regulate itself, but no progress is being made that way. This report examined the potential to make progress through pricing and its publication would inform debate over solutions to this great public health issue.

  • Keep Blackpool clean!
    Blackpool's major asset its tourism. However when the tourists come here they are greeted by rubbish bins that are overfull. Rubbish is strewn over the streets and no one is cleaning it up. The council need to keep on top of this to present a cleaner town for tourists and residents. It is unsightly, unhygienic and puts off residents and tourists alike. The petition is being put up here due to Blackpool council not allowing petitions on their own website.

  • Include Syrians in Calais in UK Refugee Plan
    Syrian refugees are living in desperate and degrading conditions in Calais. These people have survived deadly journeys out of Syria - many through Turkey, by boat to Greece and then smuggled into France in the hope of being reunited with family members in the UK. Now they're surviving on the cold steps of Calais. A friend and I were personally moved by the situation in Calais, enough so that we decided to go and spend a few days there. During that time, we got to know the Syrian people who have camped in front of the church in town and asked them if they could give us an idea of how many Syrians there are in Calais. They said they didn't know so we suggested that we collect names. One of the Syrian guys took it upon himself to compile this list, which consisted of handwritten names of all the people camped in town and in the "Jungle". The names added to 269. Two hundred and sixty nine on the 6th of September 2015. That's 269 Syrian people who have made it this far and seek only safety and the love of a family member who is already in the UK. We ask David Cameron MP to review the situation of the Syrians in France and to allow them refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK.

  • Stop selling high energy drinks to children
    It contains too much caffeine in it that can give potential harm to children. It changes the way the heart beats and drinking a can of energy drink is enough to give a child caffeine poisoning. A local shop sold it to my 8 year old daughter who also bought a can for my grandson aged 7 it states on the can NOT to be given to children OR pregnant women, shops are flouting the warnings on the can and still selling it to children of which should not happen, hence why I set up this petition.

  • Holyrood free votes for ALL funding outwith Scotlands Borders
    Such a bill is necessary because: The Scottish government must be seen as being 100% fiscally transparent and accountable to it’s Scottish electorate Westminster must not dictate how our monies are spent, only Scottish voters have that right. Increasing reliance on charity, especially food banks, mandates monies should be directed first and foremost to improve the lot of the Scottish people. Cuts to disability and other benefits are impacting the Scots disproportionately. Scotland should not subsidize projects that do not directly improve the life of her people e.g. HS2 or building repairs for either Westminster or Buckingham palace. These are expenses with no merit. Subsidising any part of the Royal family at any level is unconscionable when 20% of Scots face life in poverty.

  • Refugees Welcome in Ashby de la Zouch
    David Cameron announced we’ll welcome 20,000 more Syrian refugees. But there’s a catch. This will take 5 years, leaving thousands of refugees in limbo. It’s now up to us to show that in cities, towns and villages all across the country we’re ready to welcome people now. 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.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.
