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.

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

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.

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?

Unilever owns PG Tips, the UK's most popular cup of tea. Let's call on them to remove ALL plastics from tea bags - it is usually polypropylene. Teabags won't completely biodegrade if they have plastic in them. People in Britain drink 165m cups of tea EVERY day - with 96% of those from tea bags. That adds up to billions of pieces of plastic. As a market leader and the recent purchaser of Pukkha teas which doesn't use plastic in its tea bags, Unilever could help make a positive difference to the environment by removing plastic now. 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 microplastics 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. Let's make our environment plastic free and fully compostable with a change to the materials used in our tea bags.

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.

With brexit looming the only way that the UK can have a strong negotiating position is from working together. We must stand strong with Europe for European values against the Trump government. Germany works very successfully with a coalition of left and right.

This is very important, as the service we have should be in a central location, and not be relagated further down the valley than it already has been housed.

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.

Hosting a Polling Station at Leckhampton CofE Primary School raises safeguarding issues, places school staff under additional pressure, creates more administration and disrupts the school day. The school could close to overcome these issues but this would be unnecessary if an alternative location (such as Leckhampton Village Hall or Glebe Cottages, St Peter's Leckhampton) was used as a Polling Station. We reserve our right to appeal to The Electoral Commission against any decisions of the Returning Officer.

1. Our existing democratic system is no longer fit for purpose. It is too centralised, serves political parties before people, stifles talent, innovation and new thinking, is unresponsive to the needs of local communities and promotes short-termism. 2 At a time of increasing turbulence in world affairs, the nation is clearly divided in the face of the complex issues posed by the inconclusive EU referendum which excluded the voices of young people whose future was being decide 3 No single political party is able to look after the interests of the nation as a whole Recent elections and referendums have pulled the nation apart and previous governments have failed to invest in the regions and protect opportunties for non-partisan pubic discourse – either in the media or in the political process - causing uncertainty amongst the electorate in the face of complex decisions about the direction of our country Note that whist Parliament is dissolved, it is not possible to petition the government and there is precedent under clause 61 of Magna Carta to petition the Queen

Trump has shown himself to be unworthy to hold the position of President of the US through many actions and comments and most recently by his deliberately misleading reference to comments made by Sadiq Khan relating to security matters in London. If Trump were to come there will be huge public discontent throughout the UK . There would be an unjustifiable security cost to protect him at a time when all our security resources should be concentrated on the high level of risk of more terrorist activity against the general population.
