• Change the furlough qualifying date
    After losing their jobs in the first lockdown thousands of people have only managed to get employment in October to December. If their employers did not register them on the Government's payroll scheme by the 30th October they were not entitled to be furloughed in either of the last two lockdowns. This is causing massive financil hardship. The scheme date needs changing to preferably the 30th November or at least the 31st December 2020

  • Home education means doing it my way.
    For the mental health of parents and young students everywhere the wellbeing of those being sent to school unnecessarily because parents can not maintain the 3 hours a day plus uploading to platforms. especially when they have more than one child. Children in Europe do not a have the same pressures at this age. Most do not attend school until age 7. There is no difference in their future wellbeing or education at a level and gcse ages. Parents are being told to send their children to school if they cannot meet the 3 hours a day target. This goes directly against the advice of the national lockdown and attempts to reduce the impact of covid 19.

  • Extend Covid vaccines after 8pm to allow vulnerable adults in groups 1-4 to attend sooner
    There are millions of people in this country in groups 2-5 for Covid vaccine eligibility who have been prisoners in their own homes for ten months. If it means getting up at 3am for a vaccine to get one sooner I will gladly do it to be able to leave my house. Please support my right to do this along with millions of other people.

  • 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.

  • Ban Trump from Scotland
    There is much evidence to support the immoral character of Donald Trump Snr. This petition is in reaction to recent events, Wed 6th January 2021, when Trump supporters stormed their Capitol in terrorist fashion, which resulted in 5 deaths so far. Among the rioters were Trumps Far Right, White Supremacist, Fascist followers, who were incited and encouraged to carry out their attack by Trump and many of his political allies. We should not house a man who stands for, supports, compliments and encourages those whose far right beliefs and actions are unlawful.

  • Stop the use of bee killing pesticides
    The pesticides that contain thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid, were banned throughout the EU two years ago and backed by the UK government at the time. The current government explicitly pledged to keep the restrictions in place once we had left the EU. Michael Gove has previously stated that “The weight of evidence now shows the risks neonicotinoids pose to our environment, particularly to the bees and other pollinators which play such a key part in our £100bn food industry, is greater than previously understood … We cannot afford to put our pollinator populations at risk.” He also wrote in the Guardian: “Unless the evidence base changes again, the government will keep these restrictions in place after we have left the EU.” Government pesticide advisers said it would “cause unacceptable effects to bees in flowering crops and flowering plants in field margins” and added that it would harm “birds and mammals eating seedlings from treated seed and birds consuming pelleted seed” and risked “adversely impacting populations of aquatic insects”. And Defra have stated that “Protecting pollinators is a priority for this government.” Given all this, we must fight to save our bees and other wildlife as well as our environment. Please will you sign to give your support.

  • British Gas must negotiate with the GMB
    “In July, British Gas owners Centrica unveiled plans to fire and rehire the entire workforce if they didn’t accept detrimental changes to their pay and terms and conditions” GMB Despite the loyal service of its workers, working above and beyond especially during the winter months; despite putting their lives on the line because they haven’t stopped working throughout this pandemic British Gas is threatening to fire 200,000 workers, and then rehire them on a worse contract which will see pay cuts, longer hours and losses in pension entitlements.

  • Stop National Lottery and all scratchcard sales during lockdown
    I work in mental health, but before I began doing so I was able to see the pernicious effects of the National Lottery when it began in 1994. National lotteries prey on the vulnerable and tickets are almost exclusively bought by poor people, to finance the kind of national initiatives that could be paid for by taxing the rich. My clients have dementia and many cannot remember having just bought one so they buy another. A common effect of buying scratchcards is to receive a small win that prompts people to return to the shop to get more. We now have an extremely dangerous health situation to deal with and I know for a fact that many people on benefits will be leaving the house purely for this reason. All sorts of organisations are selling the scratchcards, not just Camelot. However, I think banning their sale across the board could be a quick win. This is important.
