  • Support James Pember
    James Pember from Caerphilly is a fantastic intelligent young person who is the most kind thoughtful and funny boy I've ever met. His approachable and empathetic personality always puts everyone at ease and anyone who ever meets him thinks the world of him. He definitely deserves more praise for how much he is there for others but he doesn't always appreciate himself. This petition is to show him that we all care, and to encourage the Welsh Government to provide recognition of James in whatever way possible. Let's bring him to public prominence for his kindness!

  • Immediate financial aid to the self-employed.
    It is unacceptable and cruel to make the millions of self-employed wait months for a fourth SEISS grant that may or may not be even at the 80% trading profits of those whom own their own businesses. Whilst billions of pounds are given to the economy by the self-employed, annually we are not being financially supported enough during the pandemic and the length of time between payments is unrealistically long for most families. This is causing undue suffering and worry and is wholly unacceptable, especially to those who are unable to access benefits.

  • Extend Mortgage holidays during lockdown
    A lot of people who work in hospitatlity , events , music and related services have been unable to work properly since March 2020 and a lot are ineligable for furlough payments and grants. This is causing a great many people to struggle with bills through no fault of their own.

  • Bring back priority shopping
    This was a huge help to many in the first lockdown but hasn't been repeated. The pandemic is worse than it was at the start and it makes sense to do it again now, so that these members of society can feel safe while they shop. While some people might argue that these groups shouldn't be going anywhere, the reality is that some still must because they're unable to get delivery slots or someone to help them. This might be the only outing older members of society have in a week to combat loneliness and keep their last bit of independence. Also, NHS staff are exhausted and burnt out so it would be great to help them out again by giving them some space to get their shopping done more peacefully.

  • Feed the Kent Lorry Drivers Now!
    Don’t leave this to the goodwill of Priti Patel. Offering a cereal bar to a lorry driver that has been stuck on the M20 for 2 nights is an embarrassment and an outrage. Basic welfare provision should be provided for any worker irrespective of the job you do.

  • Close down Hardware and DIY only Stores during Tier 4 Lockdown
    Keeping more stores open is increasing the risk of infection rates and allowing this new, higher-risk mutation of COVID-19 to spread quicker. Hardware stores were never classed as essential during the March lockdown and thus should remain that way. I am pretty sure the public can survive the Coronavirus without Christmas Lights, Dinner Plates or Bathroom Mirrors. Food however is your main concern and should be limited to these stores only. Unless of course, the government is willing to put money situations over people's lives.

  • Extend the £20 uplift to Universal Credit to ALL benefits
    Those on legacy benefits such as ESA and PIP are no more or less worse off than those on UC, any uplifts to benefits because of the pandemic should have been applied across the board. Many people have been put at a disadvantage over the last nine months simply because of where they were living when they applied for benefits and many of those people are disabled and already in a more stressful position because of the pandemic. They do not need further financial stress on top of this. When asked about this Matt Hancock said that people on legacy benefits are also on Universal Credit which is absolutely not the case.
