Make the job skills demands/job supplies shortages visibleI lived in an unemployed hotspot for some years, and when I eventually got the job the recruiting manager says to me, they've never known an area like this where 100 applicants applied for the job. And this has got me thinking, there is a heck of an invisibility factor. A fog, so to speak. And I'll use a second example- I'm currently applying for jobs with a particular skillset.(Accounting) It turns out that said skillset acquires a lot of applicants in my particular location. So much so that I am keen to relocate where the demand for the skillset is higher. And this is where the basis for these statistics are. The basis to provide an idea what demand for said skillsets/job types area are in an area. In the past we've marvelled at immigration's mobility, yet why is it that mobility WITHIN the UK is worse? Why there is a lack of say strawberry pickers in an area? And why this fact is both obscured and the movement of people within the UK is so little. The idea of these stats is to promote movement. To take away the fog, to remove the obstacles of moving. (uncertainty job demands in an area etc etc) An idea how this would work would be a concise summary of an area, it might say (i) competition for vacancies, and (ii)abundance of vacancies: for example: care work high/low, admin work high/low, FLT drivers high/low, production work high/low, accounts work high/low, labouring work high/low etc etc.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark C

End automatic tendering of NHS contractsAutomatic tendering is allowing private companies to quietly undermine the public ownership of the NHS. These private contracts are being forced on the NHS because this government legislation is a sneaky method of bringing in privatisation. (A perfect example of this was the £14 million contract given to QE Facilities Ltd to replace a free service Solihull Blood Bikes (WSBB) on April 1 2019) If we allow this to continue we will end up with an American style health system where only the wealthy will be treated.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenneth Davison

Overturn the Government Decision on Fast Fashion TaxationFast fashion is a major contributor to climate change. Industries are mass producing clothing items and soon after dumping them in landfills. Fast fashion ultimately involves severely underpaid workers and sometimes even child workers. It is also one of the biggest contributions to climate change; the chemicals used to create these clothing items contribute to the greenhouse gases that are destroying our planet. The industry sends 10,000 clothing items to landfills every 5 minutes playing a major role in waste issues in Britain. It is also one of the biggest causes of water waste with around 20% of water used being wasted. It's time for these appalling practices to change. By signing this petition you are joining us in telling the Government that we the public will not stand for the environmental degradation caused by the fashion industry.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Glasgow Youth Strikers

More government funding needed for children's hospicesThe charity Together for Short Lives warns children's hospices in England will be forced to cut services or shut unless the NHS increases its funding. According to Together for Short Lives, children's hospices in England each spend an average of £3.7m per year - which works out as a total annual spend across the country of £125m. Their spending has increased by 4.5% since 2016/17, it said. But the percentage which the state contributes has fallen from 27% to 21% in five years, the report said - and hospices have been forced to use their reserve funds or stop services (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk) This is a terrible indictment of the welfare state under this government where hospices for sick children are severely underfunded, leaving them to seek funds from ordinary people often performing feats to raise money to support hospices. This is the role of government in a civilised and human society where sick children in this situation deserve dignity and humanity from the state in their sadly short lives. The Secretary of State should act now and at the very least increase the percentage of funding his department contributes to hospices to its previous level and show it has some humanity when it comes to supporting organisations looking after very sick and dying children.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Norton
