• My daughter and son in law separated by the home office rules
    My daughter is 30 years old and married to her husband who she has been together with since 2012 which is 6 years this September and married for 4 years July 15th. All because my daughter suffers with epilepsy and cannot work as she is a danger to herself and others she does not meet the financial requirements to bring her husband to the UK which is all wrong. Her husband lives and works in India all my daughter and my son in law want is to be here in the UK as a family it's wrong how they have to live separate lives and only talk and see each other on video call. My daughter has recently come back from India from seeing her husband I can't bear to see her heartbroken and she can't keep travelling there cause of her epilepsy. They belong here together in the UK if my son in law was to come here he wouldn't claim no money from the government he would go to work and support himself I know my daughter can't bring him but surely the home office can see what they are doing to my daughter and millions of other families by keeping them apart just because you don't meet the financial requirements. It is wrong and heartbeaking for my daughter and son in law and the home office must be made to understand this please help me to bring my daughter and son in law together here in the UK as husband and wife

  • Start caring about Carers!
    Carers are becoming ill with the huge strain put on them. Most working 24/7 - 365 days of the year with little or no help from outside sources. I have been one such Carer for eleven years and my health has deteriorated drastically because of it. There are even child Carers who have to help out at home and don't get paid anything as nobody knows about so many of them.

  • Give EU carers automatic settled status
    Should EU carers not get the settled status, what happens to those disabled people? Do they go to care homes? Will the government pay for their care? What will happen to the disabled children, will they be allowed in the carers country ? This is a very important issue that the government has totally ignored. This will affect families with disabled children as well as older generation. Someone who has cared for their husband with Alzheimer's will now have to put him in a care home, someone who has cared for their child with severe disabilities will now have to find alternative carers for their child, tearing families apart and trampleling on their human rights. These disabled people are British citizens whom the government seems to have totally ignored. Who will care for them?

  • Stop Drug Companies Overcharging The NHS
    The Government forces the NHS to pay up to 10 times or more for drugs compared to the market price to have a "secure supply". The NHS should only have to pay more if the drugs are in short supply globally. Then is the only time to pay the drug companies more to secure supply.

  • Road Safety in Brinklow
    To ensure the safety of all pedestrians, particularly the children. About 1,500 children under the age of 15 are killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads each year. Research has also shown that many children cannot safely cross busy roads until the age of 15 without using a pedestrian crossing. The children of Brinklow need to be able to play out, call on friends, learn to be independent in as safe an environment as we can provide for them. Additionally our village is popular with walkers/ramblers, we have residents with mobility aids and wheelchairs who would also benefit from these improvements. The Community Speed Watch had proven that excessive speed is a real issue and if no measures are put in place the liklihood of an accident is very high.

  • Statue of Aneurin Bevan in the houses of parliament
    Aneurin Bevan is an iconic figure in British Politics. He epitomised socialism and all it stood for. He was a passionate man who cared for everyone especially the working class, those living in poverty.Aneurin Bevan was one of the most important ministers of the post-war Labour government and the chief architect of the National Health Service. He richly deserves his place in parliament.

  • Information Commissioner open consultation
    The ICO refuse to enforce the law on behalf of the individual and refuse to investigate no matter how blatantly obvious the offence has been undertaken. The benefit of the doubt is always given to the data controller. Section 173 of the new act claims to institute a criminal offence "to alter, deface, block, erase, destroy or conceal information with the intention of preventing disclosure of all or part of the information that the person making the request would have been entitled to receive." This is lifted from section 77 of the existing FOIA 2000 which in the 18 years it has been law has NEVER been implemented by the ICO. Complaints sent to the ICO languish in a 3-4 month queue for attention and if at any point in that timeline the data controller does release any information the ICO deems it to be a matter of slow compliance rather than a criminal offence. The ICO does however have fixed penalties against data controllers for non payment of ICO fees and the data controller cannot be allowed to pay later than specified. It is our data and yet the organisation responsible for protecting our rights simply will not do so unless the breach makes the news in some spectacular fashion. My father died I believe as a result of Corporate Manslaughter and the Police who failed to take action to prevent his death have so far refused to comply with my subject access request and FOIA requests and the ICO simply refuse to investigate or take action. Please if you can find the time tell the ICO that their attitude is unacceptable and require a change.

  • Wheelie bins for Cornwall
    Litter and waste is a severe problem in Cornwall. The majority of waste left out for bin collections gets attacked by animals or birds. Cornwall is a beautiful county, which is trying hard via many volunteer groups to keep litter out of our rivers and ultimately the sea. I belong to the Bude Rubbish Action Group, (BRAG), who meet regularly to clear our lovely town of litter. BRAG also educates our community how to deal correctly with waste and litter. The use of wheelie bins would have a massive impact on the problem of waste being blown around our streets. With huge amounts of waste and plastic finding its way into our oceans, I feel the Government and local councils should act immediately. Please provide us with wheelie bins.

  • No CBE for Mark Carne
    As head of National Rail, he has presided over a period of extreme frustration and utter chaos among the majority of users of the national rail network. Not only has this lead to personal exasperation, but it also severly damages the credibility of the rail system.

  • Support the Curry Industry by Reviewing Immigration Policy
    Previous attempts by this and former governments to train chefs within specialized Training Centres of Excellence in the UK have consistently failed to produce the skilled chefs required to address the shortage. Closures of restaurants around the country are at an alarming rate of 3-4 per week. Heavy handed raids by UKBA and heavily imposed penalties add to the burden levied upon the restaurateurs eager to maintain and survive the current economic climate.

  • Environmentally friendly industrial units
    Large industrial units are spoiling the natural landscape of many towns and villages. Too often beautiful vistas are ruined by these ugly structures. If constructors were enforced to ensure the units made the minimum impact, then at least we are doing something to help this cause. In addition, if we can go as far as having living walls and roofs, then that would have an added benefit to the ecosystem. These simple changes shouldn't really have a huge impact on the construction cost.
