Covid 19 has destroyed businesses and made an unprecedented amount of people unemployed. With Brexit and changes to EU employment on the horizon, IR35 will destroy ability to engage short term resource and force that work force into the permanent employment market creating a surplus of people looking for work in an already saturated market. This legislation will create added pressure to the job market and see levels of unemployment reach all time highs.

It needs to abide by standards of trading practices as required by the law of the land

This move will increase advertises costs at a time when small businesses are closing down and receiving little help from the government. The livelihood of small business owners is being eroded by large conglomerates like Google and Amazon.

I agree with the additional funds given over 4 years to our armed forces, it will generate much new technology, employ more staff, and, rightly or wrongly, increase our market share as an arms exporter. HOWEVER, just, if not more vital, is the same amount of money given to begin the largest social housing project yet seen in the UK. The number of people it will remove from the unemployment figures into paid work will be astonishing, from builders to the carpet fitters and much more beyond.

There are hundred of thousands of airlines consumers left without refunds after cancellation of flights due to Covid-19 disruptions that are yet to receive full refundable tickets money. For instance British Airways refused to refund customers for cancellations caused by Covid 19 through no fault of consumers.

It is important now because change is again iminent because of the national debt, fuelled by covid induced borrowing. Where will the government look to find money?...income tax is to be expected. Raising taxes are currently under discussion and this is bound to include raising tax on pensions. Once more it is the people who can afford it least, those who have invested most, huge amounts from thier salaries over forty or more years, who will be robbed of their life long intended benefits. This comes at a time when the same people will be denied any other benefits due to unemployment and lack of resources... because they have a pension of some kind. I feel we need to call for a 'shield' in raising tax on pensions, and most importantly the wasp women, who already had thier pensions stolen for six whole years in advance. I suggest that shielding pensioners and raising the personal tax allowance so that occupational pensions don't lower state pension, is one viable way forward to protect and compensate. In my own case , I spent almost £36, 000 of my lump sum from my occupational pension on the higher education for my family, when I was suddenly made redundant. This left a very small monthly amount, which has caused me to lose £150 of my monthly state pension, now that I finally can receive it. Where are the planned benefits of 40+ years of paying into a pension scheme for my older years? How can a teacher, for example, be called upon to work on until, now, 70yrs to benefit from pension rights? On the other hand , how many employers will employ you aged 66yrs, presently?... and yet you are expected to survive on this and pay your bills? After a life time of work and bringing up families, our contributions are being eaten up by the government both before we get them and after we have got them. There is no incentive in life for our children to pay huge contributions from their hard earned pay not to begin to begin to benefit until such an advanced age. What then will be our life expectancy? This is imoral.. from a government who claim expenses for thier meals whilst on huge salaries and deny the kids on the line of poverty free meals. A government with the loop hole to allow these 'business lunches' to by -pass the rule of 6 upheld for others an we can't celebrate our kids' graduations or family occasions. A government getting rich on abusing tax payers' money on PPE and giving jobs for their mates, while we all endure unemployment, instead of tendering contracts with transparency.

The Country, and indeed the world, is currently facing a catastrophic pandemic that is causing not only death on a massive scale but also higher levels of unemployment and job loss that have not been seen since the recession in 2008. The current Stamp Duty holiday, whilst currently creating a boom in the housing market, is set to cause a bottleneck in March 2021 with the end of the furlough scheme and the end of the Help to Buy Equity Loan for anyone who is not a First Time Buyer. Not only will this bottleneck cause agents and lawyers to exceed their capacity more than they already have (leading to potential indemnity insurance claims when some individuals do not complete before the end of the Stamp Duty holiday) but it will worsen an expected dip in the market in the second quarter of 2021. It is vital that the Stamp Duty holiday be extended to allow the market to recover naturally whilst a vaccine is introduced and people return to work (for their old employers or new).

Farmers livelihood and gamekeepers livelihood at risk because of the damage they do.

Covid-19 proves that financial security is impossible to predict and children that are born into a family, that then require welfare support, do not qualify for support purely based on their birth order. This means that older children get less of their entitlement than their peers in two child families. This may push children into poverty.

Considering the minimum wage, it's already difficult to keep up with car expenses: the road tax, MOT, insurance, fuel and repairs. Introducing a further charge will negatively impact peoples lives! So many of us will be affected by this

It's time that the safety of those of us that are protecting others is thought about. I have seen, heard and experienced situations where weapons are being used against us and I feel our employers should have to provide stab vests and PPE to protect us. If our employers provided stab vest, it acts primarily as a deterrent to people using bladed and needle attacks against us but it also means we are better able to deal with situations safely with less risk to ourselves and others.

A Mosque to the Muslim faith is like another home. But it is a home devoted to their almighty (known by their faith as Allah swt). A Mosque in our community will provide the families of the islamic faith a place of worship, education and support for people of any faith/status/belief. A Mosque for men is a complulory place of worship where they must attend 5 times a day. Some men do not have the means to a car or access to travel to reach a nearby Mosque, this will allows them to pray somewhere within walking distance, allowing more time with their families and pray in a way most pleasing to their belief that is Allah (swt). Not only will it provide a place of worship and education for families of the Islamic faith, but it is also a place where as little as what we understand of it, is in the hearts of Muslims, and in the hearts of those Muslims that live OUR community. You will notice that I have selected the category "human rights" in hope you internalise the importance of this potential development, that is, part of our right as a person, as a human, but more specifically, as a Muslim. I hope that with this petition, and the support of our community, you can help me, and many families and people like me, build a place they call home, a place of worship, and a place of education. Please donate to help build a mosque, or if you cannot donate, please share this to offer your support/recognition. Thank you.
