Overnight accommodation available for allWithin 21st Century Britain, it is completely unacceptable that thousands of people are sleeping rough every night because they are not properly supported by their local authority. 'Priority need' means that people are prioritised over others due to their vulnerability, however, surely it is not unreasonable to view every homeless individual as vulnerable? Local authorities should be providing beds for people that are sleeping rough, whether that be in the form of a youth hostel, hotel or permanent. The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 states that "a local housing authority’s duty under section 189B(2) or 195(2) is a function of the authority to secure that accommodation is available for the occupation of a person only if the authority decide to discharge the duty by securing that accommodation is so available.” The simple fact of the matter is that accommodation can be made available if people are prioritised over profit. There is always beds available, even if this means that councils have to pay for beds themselves. Nobody should be without a basic human right.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Harrison Scaman

A fair deal for key-workersOver 7 million British people still work in critical and dangerous areas such as health and social care, the emergency services, food supply, local and national government, transport, police, army and education. Without these people, Britain could not function. Yet, millions are being paid very low wages and aren’t being provided the protective equipment they need to keep their families safe.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Murray

Self-Employed Income Support Scheme ending, but not the Furloughing scheme.Self-Employed are less likely to be able to continue working during the pandemic due to their type of work, whereas furloughed employees are able to seek alternative employment whilst they are furloughed from their normal jobs. This means that self-employed are much worse off, with no income whatsoever from the end of May.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Wright

tax relief for essential workersI as a front line emergency service worker, have worked extra hours and put myself and my family at risk dealing with Covid Infected patients. My latest wage slip, I have been deducted over a 1/4 of the money earned in Income Tax and National Insurance. I have had no opportunity to work from home or be furloughed for my family or my protection. I find the tax taken from me at this time, highly unfair. This is a petition to support all the ESSENTIAL WORKERS and ask for a tax relief for all those who have worked above and beyond in this global crisis107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Yeowell

Labelling on alcoholic drinksThe other night I enjoyed a very nice glass of port with some cheese and crackers. After I had finished the port, my daughter discovered that not all ports are suitable for my vegetarian lifestyle, and in fact this particular one may well have contained gelatin. The wave of guilt that passed over me was immense, knowing I had accidentally betrayed my morals and consumed an animal product. To this end, I ask that it to be made law that the manufacturers/distributors of all alcoholic beverages must clearly label whether the product is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, kosher, etc., or perhaps more to the point, these products should all have these logos on their labels, but they should have a clear and unambiguous line through them if they do not apply.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nadia Jones

Keep homeless off the streetsHomeless people are one of the most vulnerable parts of our society. The UK government provided funding to accommodate them during the crisis. It would be inhumane to stop the funding now and send them on the streets again.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Aida Danon

Curtail corporate tax avoidanceThe Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that The Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to borrow £300bn to pay for the economic actions taken to address Covid-19. [1] A freeze of public sector workers would be a snub to those workers who risked their own lives and lives of their families to keep us all safe and society ticking over in these unprecedented times. Public sector workers should not have to bear the brunt of the UKs economic recovery actions when revenue from Tax Avoidance actions taken by large corporations would provide annual and sustainable increases in funds available to the UK government. Profits for large corporations should be capped until the money borrowed to support them during Covid-19 has been repaid in full. In 2018 Netflix clocked up worldwide revenues of $20bn and by our reckoning around £1.1bn of that will have been from subscribers in the UK. However, they received a Tax Credit form the UK government. [2] Amazon is not required to publish the accounts of its UK branch, meaning it is impossible to scrutinise the amount of tax it pays on profits generated here. However, it has a UK-based logistics arm, Amazon UK Services, which paid £4.6m in corporation tax in 2017 on reported profits of £80m. [3] In 2017 Starbucks paid tax equivalent to 2.8%. This equates to $5.9 million on a profit of $213 million. [4] The tax rate on corporate profits in 2017 was 19 per cent.
