The Government appears determined to find new ways to squeeze the poor to give their rich friends a cut in their taxes. Universal Credit is squeezing individuals into food banks or into debt as they try and feed and cloth themselves while this government finds ways to cut taxes. > We have half the population in fuel poverty. > We have wages that have fallen behind inflation for the last 12 years! Those who are forced to ask for help get a pittance from the state forcing people into debt and despair while the government tries to find new ways to provide tax cuts to the rich. Those who try and earn their way out of the situation find they loose 55p out of every £1 they are paid even though they have to pay to travel for work. Once the children have flown the nest there is no allowance before this happens. As a result families see family allowance go, the loss of maintenance from ex spouses and the loss of the dispensation for a person who is earning a pittance on part time work. If the children remain at home and are also unemployed, this drop can amount to several hundred of pounds a week in their cumulative income. Why tax someone on poverty wages 55% and yet tax high earners only 40%? Those workers who struggle to get full time work can find that the cost of travel and increasing transport costs can prevent them escaping and entering the world of work. If they can only find low paid work, the earnings less the costs to get to work means they can end up paying to work. If someone is an unpaid carer for an adult family member, for example, they are still expected to look for work. We should not be forcing people on benefits to pay to work rather than work for pay. Slavery was thankfully abolished, why are the Tories trying to reintroduce the idea. Do you think its right to put the squeeze on those in receipt of Universal Credit to fund cuts in taxes? Do you believe that we need to help others less fortunate than ourselves? Or common humanity? Why should the poor fund the richer getting richer? Please end this and ensure that those on Universal Credit have the means to survive.

A lot of SEN children have low esteem and no confidence as they feel like they are failing every year. They fall behind their peers as there is a lack of funding to give them the support they need. Also as a parent it is hard to prove to them the progress they have achieved as the school report year in year out tells them they are working below expected target. But for some of these children they are working to a target that they can achieve so why is the expected level not theirs and not that of their peers. My daughter has been told she can't do level 1 art as she can't progress to level 2 as she doesn't have GCSE maths and English, even though she is good at art. The year before that told she can't do hairdressing as she didn't have these GCSE's! She can not do what she wants as the system doesn't provide and won't give her a chance. She is fortunate to be doing work skills which is designed to get her into meaningful work, but, unlike other children her age, she doesn't get much choice in the matter. Please sign this petition to try and get a better education system with more functional skills at school level to help these young people more to gain their full potential, make them feel empowered and valued from day one. Stop letting the system write them off. Make them asses them in what they can do with a more tailored curriculum for those that can't access the current curriculum for what ever reason.

Too many breeds being tarnished by the same brush when really the reality is it’s down to irresponsible owners.

I think if everyone comes together we can save a dog breed in which there are a lot more of these dogs that live their lives as a happy family pet than there are ones who attack people. We need to pull together and stop dog breeds getting punished just because of bad owners

Torquay Pavilion is a much-loved asset that has been cherished for generations since it opened in 1912. People power prevented its planned demolition by the Council in the 1970s. The Community has fought again for its future since the Pavilion's long-term leaseholder, MDL Marinas, closed it as a shopping centre in 2013. Working hard to take successful legal action against the Council in 2018, the Community defeated a damaging, barely viable and unlawfully-permitted scheme incorporating the building. People power is needed once more to ensure that the building survives.

Invasive non-native species are one of the biggest threats to biodiversity. Now, one of the world's most invasive species, the Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta) has arrived in Europe and scientists estimate it's only a matter of time before it is devastating native fauna and causing loss and costs to agriculture. The UK remains one of the last island nations to import soils and potted plants containing soils. In doing so, it is importing an increased risk. Asian Hornets, Fire Ants, terrestrial flatworms, slugs and snails are all species found in potted plants and soils. Their small size and ability to bury in to the soil means that they arrive unseen, even if the plant itself is checked. The only conceivable way to ensure species are not being readily imported is to reciprocate action seen elsewhere and ban the imports of soil and plants containing soil.

We need a train station maned and fully working not just a rock to stand on while waiting for a train to come we do not have any toilet-coffee shop or a safe place to sit and Waite for a train we have safe safe shelter at all Colne is also after seeking to be linked to Skipton now re opening of the line. What the point if Colne has NO train station at all??

It looks like the Government could take from pensioner’s incomes to fund tax cuts while we’re all facing a cost of living crisis. Even if your income doesn’t come from a pension right now, this could be the beginning of slashing people’s protections to make the rich richer. The Government’s refusal to say they’ll protect people from pension poverty is all over the news, but right now this is just an idea they’re floating to see if they could get away with it. They could change their minds if they realise this could cost them the next election. We need to act now. If thousands of us sign the petition, it will show the Government that if they want to stay in power, they can’t take from us all to give to the rich.

Social Care Workers do one of the most difficult and challenging jobs in our society and I believe that introducing this Railcard would not only encourage others to join this demanding but rewarding career, it would also go a long way in acknowledging these workers and showing appreciation for their role.

Maybe people are not aware of how few cabs take disabled passengers that are not able to get out of their chairs. There are hardly any. All the cost effectiveness has been removed from local governments certainly in Kidderminster? Bromsgrove and Redditch and probably nationwide.

The US Government wants to put their nuclear weapons back on British soil for the first time in 15 years. The plans "strongly imply" the intention to base nuclear arms at Lakenheath in Suffolk, which last hosted them in 2008.  The plans have already angered campaigners with many claiming such a move would be irresponsible and put the UK at risk. The good news is, right now the idea is still in the planning phase and nothing is set in stone. But we need to make sure the UK Government listens to us, the British public's view on the matter.  Sign the petition if you agree that the public should be consulted on whether the UK should host America's nuclear weapons?

Are insurance companies profiteering?
