Make stopping whale hunting a condition for future trade deals with Japan, Iceland and NorwayWhales are intelligent and social creatures. Their populations have been decimated by indiscriminate slaughter in the past. The oceans are quickly becoming a hostile place with pollution and there is a very real chance these giants could be lost forever. The whaling industry makes money. But trade with Britain makes more. Let's use this unique opportunity for Britain to force the end of whaling in these countries for good.168 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Barney Hobbs

CQC to STOP doing announced visits!This is important because it would STOP Care Homes who cover things up getting away with it. It would mean that the vulnerable residents would get the quality of care that they rightly deserve. If a Care Home has nothing to hide and everything is done inline with policies and procedures and the Law then they wouldn’t object to unannounced visits from CQC. This would also lead to a more accurate CQC Rating which would give people a more informative choice of where they want to place their loved ones.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daisy James

Save The Horse Hospital and Contemporary Wardrobe from EvictionContemporary Wardrobe and The Horse Hospital are London institutions that have existed in the same location since the eighties. The former houses the biggest collection of original street clothing in the UK - 20,000 pieces ranging from WW2 till now- that can be hired, viewed by students, photographed etc and, as such, is a very important museum-especially if we consider that the UK is where many of the worlds most original style tribes originated. The Horse Hospital , located above Contemporary Wardrobe, has been an essential space where impoverished and young artists, film makers, designers, poets etc can exhibit their work for a pittance. It is a community artist's hub that has helped many a creative find their feet and survive. Both cannot be lost to build more luxury flats. We need such in inner London and its is paramount we fight for them to survive . I did one of my first art exhibitions there and could not have done it elsewhere and when working as a fashion stylist borrowed clothing on countless occasion that informed young people of their heritage.1,371 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by chris sullivan

Parents are judged wrongly.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Karen O'Reardon

Stop HS2 and spend the money on flood defences.In 2015 /16 disastrous floods hit parts of Britain. People's homes and livelihoods were wrecked. The cost to the country was enormous. Now in 2020, the same thing has occurred again. Although the government has invested around £4 billion for flood defences around the country, it has not been nearly enough to prevent further flooding. The flooding of people's homes and businesses is wrecking lives, causing misery and spiralling costs to individuals, companies, insurance companies and to the country as a whole. The problem of flooding is not going to go away. Climate change is bringing ever-increasing rainfall and adverse weather and it is clear that the government's current flood defence plans and budget are inadequate. We need more money to be spent on all affected areas, with proper planning and a better, fully-funded strategy. We cannot afford to spend billions on HS2 and yet leave so many people desperate because they have lost everything.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Liz Brynin

Dads to Stay Overnight at BirthAt present, each NHS Trust is able to set their own policies on whether Dads can stay overnight on their maternity wards. Whilst one hospital will allow this, another five miles away, will not. Should parents be sent to a different hospital to the one stated in their birthing plan, they do not know if the Dad can stay overnight. At the birth of my baby, I was shocked that Dads were being asked if they wanted to stay overnight, as this should be a given with no need to be asked. Whilst most Dads said they would stay overnight, several said they were going home. The expectation should be that they are all staying at hospital with their partner. After Dads had advised that they would be staying, they were then told that there was nowhere for them to sleep other than a plastic chair and it was made clear that the food was for the expectant mother. While the food issues is fully accepted, a more comfortable environment should be provided for Dads. Initially, I wanted to campaign for the comfort aspect to be improved, however when researching this, it became apparent that Dads are not allowed to stay overnight at all hospitals. This is reminiscent of of Victorian times, yet it is still happening in 2020. Dads are a great emotional support to their partners during labour, and if allowed to stay, can relieve midwives from this role. When there is a societal view that men often don't get involved with child care, they should be encouraged and accepted to stay at hospital at such a significant time as child birth. By not allowing Dads to stay, sends out the wrong message to new Dads. Furthermore, a baby needs to be able to form attachments with both parents, and therefore Dads must be able to start this relationship from the outset. Please support us in our campaign to get all NHS Trusts to have consistency in policy, by allowing Dads to stay overnight at every maternity ward. Thank you Jonathan Roberts81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Roberts

Single Use Plastic on AirlinesEvery day British Airways oblige their passengers to tag their hand luggage with single use tags that are only to identify hand luggage that has to be placed under the seat. Millions of non recyclable plastic tags are handed out everyday and are then put into the trash ( garbage).These tags are a nonsensical waste of single use plastic.There are many companies that now produce compostable or biodegradable tags that British Airways ( and other airlines could use ). Please sign this petition to stop this wasteful procedure.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clare De La Poer Beresford

STOP THE MEGA INCINERATOR IN WISBECHThe site is near schools, homes and businesses. The incinerator produces electricity from all kinds of rubbish, including plastics. It's the CO2, other greenhouse gases and the fine particulates that are produced that are particularly harmful to the atmosphere and to people living locally and downwind. Wisbech also doesn't have the road infrastructure to cope with the vast number of lorries which will need to travel in and out of the area. This will also affect all the surrounding villages and local nature reserves. Our MP Steve Barclay and local councillors are also against the incinerator.582 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Maureen Robertson

Free bus travel for CarersIts 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.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yvonne Kelly
