  • Introduce Universal Basic Income as an emergency measure in the fight against coronavirus
    With industry and the economy as a whole at the mercy of coronavirus, bold, decisive action from our Government is essential to safeguard businesses and livelihoods. Universal Basic Income is the lifeline needed to ensure business can continue to thrive in the throws of the pandemic that lies ahead. Not only this, but it would ensure the poorest and most vulnerable in society - including those in unstable employment - retain a safety net.

  • Coronavirus should stop DWP sanctions
    It's really important to reduce interactions with other people during the period of the coronavirus epidemic. We've been asked to self-isolate if we feel ill. But DWP claimants told to go to an interview worry about being sanctioned if they don't do. If they do go, they will probably be going by public transport, and being interviewed/seeing several people while at the interview. That's a good way to spread the virus. There should be no interviews, and no sanctions, during this period.

  • Ensure People on Benefits Receive them while Covid 19 is active
    The government are worried about those who are employed for a company but so far nothing has been done to help those who need benefits to survive. Panic over Covid 19 and benefits not paid will not make it any better for anyone.

  • Regulation of the funeral directors industry.
    I am aware that many people would regard the present fee structure as extortionate at a time of deep grief when finances are under severe strain and emotional blackmail is able to be put in place. It is high time that this iniquity is stamped out. This is especially relevant at a time when a pandemic might befall the country

  • Free bus travel for Carers
    Its important because carers get a very low income to start with £66.15 per week and having to travel to get vital things and every day essentials if the person is house bound or does not want to go out can make these trip very expensive for the carer receiving such a low income when they are having to pay out anywhere from £20 to £33 a week depending where they live ...this is disgusting considering they only get a pittance for the care and support they give to others in need.

  • More NHS GIC’s needed
    This is important as transgender patients are being made to wait as little as 2 years right after their referral has been sent and accepted. A further 12 months is usually the case before medication is prescribed to the patient. We are usually looking at a minimum of 3 years before medication is prescribed. Living with gender Dysphoria is a horrible thing. It can lead to depression, self harm and in extreme cases suicide. This is for us just trying to biologically be who we were born as and are meant to be. These waiting lists are far far too long

  • New and old pensioners inequality
    IT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR . THE NEEDS OF OLDER PEOPLE RISE BY AGE , KEEPING WARM , COPD DIFFICULTY WITH LIVING GENERALLY. SOMEONE AGED 65 HAVING A GOOD LIFE WHILE A 76 GOES COLD AND HUNGRY. HOW CRUEL IS THAT. I DO BELEIVE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO CLAIM SOME MEANS TESTED BENEFIT ONCE YOUR SAVINGS HAVE GONE BUT MOST FIND THAT HUMILIATING AND WHY SHOULD YOU AFTER 50YEARS OF PAYING NI.

  • Swallow hotel owned by the council, empty while people sleep homeless
    I feel this is important due to the amount of homeless people on the streets in Stockton-on-Tees and surrounding areas , I feel the shop owners will feel a great benefit also from not seeing bundles of bedding in there doorways and all the things that are linked to the homeless etc
