Name a hospital after Tom MooreTom Moore has not only raised an amazing amount of money, he has also raised the nations spirit and he is a sign of hope and inspiration. What he has done deserves a lasting tribute and I feel that naming a Hospital after this amazing gentleman would be fitting and the least we can do to say thankyou!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chantelle C

Extend Job Retention Scheme employee start date to 30th MarchThousands of people have been told they will receive 80% pay from the government, with company’s now withdrawing that offer because the government will only cover employees that have been enrolled in to the PAYE system before the 19th March 2020. People are being left destitute and not being able to pay their rent, bills, food & basic needs. With a 5 week waiting period for universal credit approval this isn’t good enough for thousands of people, that are being put at risk. Q: Who can an employer claim for? A: Employees (which is widely defined, see below) who were: hired before 19 March 2020 and which were notified to HMRC on an RTI (Real Time Information) submission on or before 19 March 2020 and where an RTI submission notifying payment of that employee to HMRC was made on or before 19 March 2020 are furloughed for at least three weeks62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jen Ray

Corona medals for NHS front-line staff!When all this is over, issue a special new Corona medal to all our heroic NHS front-line staff, who are demonstrating every bit as much bravery in fighting this battle as military personnel do in war, who would be honoured with a campaign medal. Let's give our NHS heroes lasting badges of honour too!59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lea Willis

Emergency Child Benefit increase during Covid-19Parental unemployment, furloughed wages, Universal Credit delays, interrupted public transport, food bank shortages and missed free school meals mean that children are going hungry unnecessarily. All children have a parent who receives child benefit already; increased payments would require very little administration to implement and would immediately allow families to buy food, pay for fuel for cooking, washing and laundry.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Viv Owen

Reduce university fees during Covid-19All Universities are closed for physical teaching and although every effort is made to teach online, this is just not possible for many courses who teach practical skills and need rooms and equipment, which are locked away at Universities. Online teaching does not carry the same value and as all Universities have decided to stay close for the remainder of this academic year, I think this needs to be reflected in the fees students are paying. Many postgraduate students (myself included) are being furloughed currently and hence are on 80% of our income, with families to look after and bills to pay. Students up and down the country have taken out loans to pay dear for their studies, yet they are not getting what they have signed up for from the Universities. I would like to urge the government and the Education Minister to make a national decision to reduce the University fees by at least 20% (if not 50%) for the summer term and to help students directly in their struggles with this unprecedented situation. If we can bail out big corporations, then why not help some of the most vunerable and with that - help the future (generation) of this country!68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Reinhild Beuther

We desperately need support for invisible carersOver 8 million people who care for relatives at home are being ignored. Many of us are shielding vulnerable people, we can’t get delivery slots because we’re not on the most vulnerable list. We don’t want to go out for fear of bringing the virus home. When we can get deliveries they’re more expensive because we’re having to order from specialist, local shops. We are being expected to cope on our own, with extremely limited budgets and no support. We work 24/7 taking the strain off the NHS and social services by caring for our loved ones and we are being IGNORED.132 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mandm Tog

Promote Captain Tom to Major TomThis is Ground Control to... Captain Tom Moore's sponsored walk has inspired people all over the world in a time of crisis, and raised millions of pounds for a great cause. If ever a 99-year-old deserved a promotion, it must be him. Brevet (honorary) promotions have a long and distinguished history in the British Army. Promoting him to Major Tom would also honour David Bowie, one of the greatest ever singer-songwriters ever. Check ignition, and may God's love be with you.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Richards

All NHS staff to be given free parking in England and Northern IrelandMr. Boris Johnson was full of praise for the dedication exhibited by NHS Staff who nursed him back to health and probably saved his life. How better to reward them than by taking off them the burden of paying typically £800 per year, to do their essential job, a burden which few others in employment have to suffer. I know of cases where many of them are working up to eleven 12 hour night shifts at a time due to staff shortages and workload. Surely they should not be "pickpocketed" in this atrocious manner. Let's level the playing field and get parity with Scotland and Wales where their caring, sharing Assemblies have introduced free parking for all NHS staff, (and the public) months ago.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Neville Layhe

Give Mike Hind a knighthoodIt is important because Mike is putting together food parcels for people that can't get out during the Coronavirus outbreak. He is taking meals to local hospitals and other places where they are needed and he is doing all this because he want to help and not because he wants something in return2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jo Rogerson
