• Save our conductors
    We play a vital role in safety, being informative, assisting anyone that might need help in boarding on & off the buses and a friendly face should someone just need a chat. I actually work on routes 24 & 390 & have for just over 3yrs. My elderly passengers on the 24 are very upset, they love having the safety of our arms to help them on & off the bus. This enables them to still have a certain amount of independence, without having to rely on a slotted time from some other form of transport, they can come & go as they please. Wheelchair users that do need assistance! Who's going to help them? Or the visually impaired passenger that feels safer taking our arm.

  • Make Labour NEC respect Democracy and allow FAIR voting in the Leadership election
    The actions of the NEC are so undemocratic they do not belong in this country. All across society they have excluded members and supports with bitter choices. This cannot be allowed to go on in The Labour Party.

  • Suspend primary testing in Yr2 and Yr6 for 2017.
    We believe that the DfE is damaging the mental health of children through its excessive testing and is devaluing education by promoting rote learning of age-inappropriate grammatical concepts. If we do not suspend tests this year then we are setting our children up to fail by forcing them to be part of a system that does not consider them individuals, but instead data on a page to be analysed. We are creating children who are stifled and demotivated due to continuous and unnecessary teaching to the test. We are setting schools up to fail and leaving them open to academisation. • The focus on the EU referendum has meant little focus on education – we are about to face the same situation as in 2016 again with our children potentially labelled as failures due to tests which are inappropriate and demoralised teachers forced to teach a curriculum they feel is wrong. • The new tests have been developmentally inappropriate for the age groups involved. Children have been set up to fail. Thus supporting the Government’s plans for academising all schools. 47% of children ‘failed’ Yr 6 SATs this year. • English children are the most tested in Europe. • Mental health experts and teachers agree that excessive testing is harming our children. • Testing has become ‘high stakes’ due to pressure on teachers as tests are linked to performance related pay. • The testing structure in 2016 was filled with flaws including leaked papers. • The NAHT have called for a ‘complete overhaul’ of the current system, supported by a motion carried by 99.6% of delegates. • The NUT described the situation as a ‘car crash’. • 97% of teachers surveyed by the NUT agree or strongly agree that preparation for the SATs has had a negative impact on children’s access to a broad and balanced curriculum. • 90% of teachers surveyed think that changes to primary assessment this year have had a negative impact on children’s experience at school. Expressing the damage that the new system has done to pupils, teachers write of demoralisation, demotivation, and physical and mental distress – effects, they predict, will be lasting. We want teachers, unions and mental health experts to be able to work together with the Government to create a curriculum that encourages our children to develop inquiring minds and a love of learning. This takes time... We are very concerned that adequate time has not been taken in the current political climate to ensure another assessment ‘car crash’ does not take place in 2017.

  • Motor insurance scam
    Solicitors are "encouraging" motorists to falsely claim for personal injury thus increasing motor insurance policies. Having informed my insurance company I was NOT injured in an accident, to-date I have received calls from four different solicitors "encouraging" me to falsely claim for personal injury. A week after the accident the other driver involved in the accident angrily stopped me and said he had been contacted by a solicitor who told him I had made a personal injury claim and he should do the same thing.

  • Discrimination at Border Force against foreign same sex partner of an UK Resident.
    This is important due to it happening on his first visit after the BREXIT and is a sign of which way the government will go in the future. It should not become acceptable that the government applies arbitrary decisions in this great country of law and freedom. Today they start with gays from not white men country's, tomorrow we don't want to imagine how far this government will go.

  • Give Harry and Hoddle the England Job
    We all know Hoddle did the business at first, but the press got their claws into him and even the mighty Mourinho had a flap when the media attacked. He doesn't handle the stress of the media well but this doesn't stop him being a tactical genius and doesn't take away any of the international experience he has as both a player and manager. Remit: Tactics, Training, Coaching, Growth, Selection Advice. Harry is cream of the English crop of motivation. Look what he did with Bournemouth, West Ham and Pompey. He wasn't too shabby at spurs either, but his head was turned because there was only one job in the world he wanted more; this one. But we should keep him away from it, because he actually wants it, right? His tactics are questioned by many, (as a season ticket holder at pompey who has watched dross for 25/30 seasons I actually disagree here), but there is no one better at making a player believe in themselves with English footballing blood in the veins than Harry Redknapp. He's also pretty good at getting squads to focus on creating chances... something we were pitiful at in France. Remit: Team Talks, Press Conferences, TV Interviews, Creating Chances and Scoring Goals, Selection Advice. The FA probably won't listen to us, but this is our chance to tell them that we don't mind how much Hoddle loves God or Harry loves a morning raid. If they're the best we've got, we don't care about their corporate image rights, give them the damn job and if they win something, you'll all earn more in advertising anyway. P.S. I'm guessing a few QPR fans and other Pompey fans might disagree with this, but without agents, wages and dodgy owners mixing the muddy waters, I think we'd get the best out of them)

  • Please grant amnesty to illegal immigrants who are already in the UK
    UK has voted out of the EU and needs all hands to contribute to the national development. If illegal immigrants who are already in the United Kingdom are granted amnesty, they will play a major role in the development of the country. An amnesty could yield an additional millions of Pound Sterling a year of Income Tax and National Insurance receipts. Granting an amnesty to the illegal immigrants who are already in the country will bring them out of the shadows and into the real economy and they can contribute to the tax system. In the process of granting an amnesty, they will pay fines so the legalisation will not be dependant on a taxpayers’ money and it will be self-sustained, and also to have a proper criminal checks. The case of amnesty extends beyond economics. It is also a human thing to do. Regularising status to illegal immigrants avoid vulnerability exploitation and destitution as well as avoid creating a situation in which they are more likely to be pushed into the black economy. In extreme cases, illegal immigrants can slip into sexual exploitation and forced labour. The Prime Minister, Theresa May said , the government she leads will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few but promised to give more control over everyone's life in the country. Illegal immigrants really want to take up jobs to support themselves, their families and the national development but they are unable to do so as their lives are restricted in a multicultural country where the whole world look up to due to resident permit. Please grant amnesty to these illegal immigrants who are already in the country to live a normal life and to contribute substantially to the national economy.

  • The Forgotten Report Chilcot
    The Chilcot Report has been hidden from the public view by the elections of both Labour Party and Consevrative Leaders. The Media have not had the time to promote Chilcot s findings, debate or even discuss what should happen to Tony Blair . Many of the wives and families of the Armed Forces involved in the Alfagistan action have been short changed with limited publicity and to reach outcomes.

  • Recognise the importance of the Labour Women's Conference
    Iain McNicol General Secretary for Labour NEC has agreed that the leadership announcement conference will take place on 24th September 2016. He has done this knowing that it will overshadow the only yearly Labour Women's Conference which takes place on the same day and was planned well in advance of this leadership contest. He is undermining the importance of this conference to the moral and confidence Women members have in the Labour Party's ability to understand their needs and recognition of their achievements.
