  • Write off student loans for medical staff
    Many earn less than £40000 and are facing unbelievably hard conditions at work as well as risking their lives. It’s the least we can do to write off the debt they accrued from studying to care for us.

  • Bank you Nurses and Doctors!
    To say "Thank You" in a tangible way, for giving so much when we needed them to step-up during the Coronavirus Covid19 pandemic. Completing over two-thousand hours of hand-on, direct clinical practice over three years – is it fair to ask them to accumulate debt? With a starting salary of £24,214, this is a debt the majority of nurses will never pay off. Please sign to petition to get their DEBT WIPED OFF!

  • A voice for prisoners & families
    The government ordered lockdown on the 24th March 2020 to stem the outbreak of Covid-19. Since then, the impact on prisoners and their families has become a cause for concern. Government guidance on social distancing, self isolating and other hygiene procedures is being applied to prisons [1]. But there is opportunity for a virus to enter into a prison and for it to also re-enter into the public. This could result in prisoners and prison staff becoming ill, which means the care of duty may be compromised. Once Covid-19 enters a prison it may spread due to the dense conditions inside the prisons [2] - it is more challenging to apply social distancing measures in confined spaces, like prisons. Covid-19 may be more difficult to control in prison environments. It’s important that prisoners receive support with government guidance, such as, on the symptoms of the virus, so they know when they need to contact medical staff. Many prisoners, like the wider population, have health conditions putting them in to the vulnerable category. Medical staff are stretched at the best of times and mental health of both staff and prisoners may suffer. Since the recent lock down all prison visits have been suspended. While completely necessary, this means the only way prisoners can have contact with the ones they love are on the phone or through letters. Provisions have not been put in place to keep family connections, for example, extra phones but as yet, nothing has happened. There are many campaigns about releasing unconvicted prisoners on remand to help reduce the dense populations in prisons. I agree with these campaigners as my loved one is one of them. These men and women are, as the law states, “Innocent until proven guilty”. The media is filled with concern, closing schools, cancelling sporting events etc. but little has been said about the most vulnerable sectors of our population, the people in our prisons. These men and women are forgotten about. When will someone see the importance for prisoners to be able to keep up with family bonds. Prisoners aren’t just a number on a spread sheet or a figure of statistic, they are human beings just like you and I .

  • Whistl keyworkers to be paid 50%more
    Good question.. "why is this important?" Is important because we are human beings as well, we all have family to which are coming home and like this we put them at risk as well, we have friends that we can't visit to not put them as well in danger / all keyworkers are important now because they are supporting the economy and all the needs of the people.

  • Suspend credit card APR rate charges
    Credit card companies must not be allowed to make money from the pandemic Many people will have taken on credit card borrowing, expecting to pay it off using their regular income, and now have no regular income, or substantially less income, or are being temporarily supported through the benefit system. Every financial avenue needs to be explored to help at this very difficult time. I have seen no sign to date that the financial sector, who have made billions from credit charges over the years, are offering this help and they need to step up now, and do their bit. This help is cross cutting as it impacts the economy, health, and welfare.

  • NHS staff: Extended death in service protection
    Death in service Support to extend death in service cover is needed from the Government for all healthcare workers, to give them peace of mind for their families and loved ones, should the worst happen. Now more than ever with the pandemic of covid 19 and the NHS STAFF working tirelessly to treat the patients, we are just as vulnerable as anyone else. PPE does not make us immune. The dependants of NHS staff receive their full death in service entitlement, irrespective of whether they are an active member of the NHS pension scheme. To ensure medical students, junior colleagues and lower paid NHS staff’s families receive a fair entitlement, we are also calling for the introduction of a minimum amount payable if an NHS worker dies in service.

  • Don't delay UN Climate Talks - hold them online
    The government's plan is to delay the talks scheduled for November 2020 until May next year. The Climate is Number 1 emergency when we start to rebuild after Covid 19. The IPCC, the body of the world's leading experts, said in 2018 that catastrophic climate breakdown is inevitable within this decade unIess we change course and start to bring down carbon emissions dramatically. In addition, having the talks online would avoid the damaging effects of delegates travelling.

  • Waiver The Glasshouse third term rent
    Families across the residents of the glasshouse will not be able to pay for a room that isn’t being used especially when they are out of work because of governments advice or they have been directly effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is only morally right to waiver the last sum.
