Stop Arms To SaudiWe have created this campaign in collaboration with Campaign Against the Arms Trade, Amnesty International (University of Liverpool group) and the Green Party. The United Nations’ Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) states that weapons should not be sold to countries if there is a potential that the arms or items could be used to facilitate a serious violation of human rights. Whilst Saudi Arabia has been deemed ‘’a very old ally and partner’’ by David Cameron (2012), it continues to abuse the human rights of its citizens based on their gender and sexuality and refuses to acknowledge a need for change. Our mutual economic relationship with this country makes us complicit in the systematic abuse that takes place. The UK should consider not only the articles in the ATT but a country’s approach to human rights as a whole. Saudi Arabia consistently commits egregious breaches of human rights. It outlaws freedom of speech, expression or belief outside of Wahhabi Islam and regularly imprisons opponents without trial. Homosexuality is branded a crime and is punishable by torture and execution. Saudi Arabia and the UK have long had close dealings in the arms trade. Saudi Arabia is Britain’s largest customer for weapons and the UK is the Gulf nation’s single biggest supplier, according to Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT). Weapons created in the UK were used to bomb Yemen this year in what has been dubbed ‘’a humanitarian catastrophe’’ (Andrew Smith, CAAT). Saudi Arabia is the biggest sponsor of global terrorism, funnelling money to rebels in Syria and to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide. The terrorist organisation IS are ‘’a product of Saudi ideals, Saudi money and Saudi organisational support’’ (Senator Bob Graham, the 9/11 commission). How can we claim to be a country that supports equality, diversity and freedom of speech when we continue with this inherently hypocritical trade relationship? Once again, we urge you to take action, Yours, the undersigned,2,160 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Katherine Wright

Caps on Energy PricesA recent report from the Competition and Markets Authority showed that millions of customers in the UK are “paying too much for their energy bills”. Over the four year period up until 2013, the CMA showed that the ‘Big Six’ energy providers (E-On, EDF Energy, SSE, Scottish Power, British Gas and Npower) collectively overcharged customers by £1.2 billion a year, compared to what should have been being paid were the energy market properly competitive. The CMA proposed, along with their findings, a temporary price cap on energy tariffs across the UK, keeping gas and electricity prices down, at least for a while. David Cameron initially reacted with a somewhat lukewarm response, with a spokesman saying that he would be “prepared to consider” the plan; he has now gone back on even that, claiming that he “does not think that price regulation is the right approach”. We firmly believe that price regulation is the right approach, or at the very least it is a short term solution that saves millions of people money and in no way frustrates the possibility of a long term solution. So, sign this petition and make sure that Mr Cameron listens and does his bit to put an end to the shameless exploitation of customers by the oligopoly that is the Big Six energy providers.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Brady

Re-Allow Microwave ovens in British schools for the use of students.As you might know the policy of having microwaves in British schools has been changed. Therefore the microwaves has been removed. The new rule is that teacher will microwave the food for the students and then check the temperature to make sure if it is safe to eat. Even the students of age 15 are not allowed. This might sound like a dumb petition but the students really need it. Imagine you going to office with cold food and then are forced to eat it cold due to being not allowed to use a simple microwave oven. The students want actions to be taken immediately. Please sign this petition and help the students in need.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Haider KKhan
