£64,000 is plenty amount of cash for members of parliament, so why are the MPs taking a large pay rise while the BBC and working families take a pay cut for already rich MPs to get a higher pay check. It's selfish and we must stop it. There pay rise is causing damage to working families and public services (Eg Transport) the BBC is now on its knees

All civil servants, public servants, nurse, firefighters etc have had to continue their work to serve the public at ever reducing standards of living. MPs should lead by example.

Mr Ellwood's recent claim that his MP's salary is insufficient shows a disregard for and disconnect from his many constituents who have accepted limited or no pay increases over recent years in order to boost the nation's economic recovery. Furthermore we feel that his enthusiasm for a pay increase of 10% at a time when public service employees are being restricted to rises of 1%, shows contempt for his electorate and a self-serving attitude which is not in the interest of his constituents.

Like many people I have found myself on the receiving end of ATOS deciding I am fit to work. Despite my GP sending me to the assessment with a supporting letter. My GP knows I am not fit enough to work. And there are thousands of people out there who are the same. Forcing people into situations that they can't cope with will cause more deaths, more illnesses and cost the NHS more in the long run. It's. It through choice I don't work. I am a qualified teacher. And shortly after qualifying was told by a school they didn't think I was capable of 'keeping up'. My health drastically deteriorated and now I can't work. Yet ATOS seem to think me and thousands of others out there are able to work..... and work any job. The whole system needs looking at and revising. How many people need to die before something is done about this.

The issue of local justice is enshrined in our constitution. The proposal to close up to 91 courts puts this in jeopardy. For instance, the court local to where I live is earmarked for closure, yet the nearest alternative will be about 60 miles away with no chance of being reachable by public transport. The nearest city court is in a different jurisdiction. Magistrates are a vital element of the justice system. They are chosen for their fairness., lack of discrimination and duty to uphold the laws and values of this country. Magistrates are constantly being downgraded by the government and their powers are eroded by the increasing emphasis on the police being allowed to be judge and jury. Please add your voice to stop these steps to take away our fundamental rights not only to justice, but justice at local level.

Our children need this service to get to school safely. It is a direct service which means our children don't have to change bus services in the frenchgate interchange. This will increase costs for parents and also have an impact on working parents whose children need to be taken to school in September because of no school bus. This will also have a detrimental effect on the environment as more parents will use cars to take children to school.

This is so important because many of those most in need of a National Health Service are the poor and long term chronically sick. These people cannot afford or get private health care. Without the NHS, we will be like America with 40% not having any health care cover. Once lost the NHS will NEVER be recovered, so act now to keep it. The NHS is the most cost effective & efficient health care system in the world, despite what the politicians keep saying about it. Love your NHS & fight to save it, it's the best thing Britain ever created and it's worth fighting for. The rest of the world knows it, we know it, the government knows it - so tell them to keep their grubby hands off!

In the House of Lords, a chamber of unelected representatives, the Government has proposed, through an unelected representative, that it is time to re-examine the NHS, and decide how best to make citizens pay at point of use, whether through compulsory insurance, or through additional taxes. https://opendemocracy.net/ournhs/richard-grimes/government-moves-to-consider-nhs-user-charges We already pay an additional tax to fund the NHS - it is called National Insurance. To propose we need additional taxation, or that we need to pay for services as we use them, not only disregards the fact that citizens already pay, but will be the beginning of a two-tier NHS, where only those who can afford to pay can be treated. As it is, the National Health Service is the envy of much of the world. We need to keep it that way.

Lord Prior, has just suggested to parliament that he plans to launch an inquiry to consider whether we should move away from a tax-funded NHS towards one funded by insurance and co-payments. This is an attack on the core principles of the NHS that have been in place since 1946.

Animal testing should not be a part of this day in age given the level of technology we have. Nor should we be breeding animals for another countries animal testing.

The BBC is meant to be an independent organisation run by trustees. It's unacceptable that the government can just walk in and confiscate several millions of licence payers money to fund an aspect of its social policy.

In the UK we already have an epidemic of homelessness, if this policy is allowed to go through parliament the numbers of homeless people will increase drastically and child poverty will spiral out of control.
