• Stop no win no fee solicitors.
    This is part of the compensation culture we have inherited from the USA and is making Health and Safety so restrictive that business especially in the construction industry is hardly able to function. It has got so ridiculous that children cannot even run around in the playground and we wonder why 50% of them are obese.

  • Require taxi services in London to go green
    London is one of the most polluted cities in the world, pollution limits set by the EU are consistently broken by many London boroughs. Black Cabs and Uber drivers form a good majority of the traffic in London and are regulated by the TfL. New buses are electric, so why are our taxi services still polluting London's streets? This is important not only for air pollution in London, but for climate change as a whole - transport is the second largest contributor to carbon emissions in the UK, producing one fifth of our total carbon emissions. It's time our government did more to protect the world we want to live in.

  • Free school meals for all pupils in compulsory education in Scotland
    Writing as a recently retired Home Economics teacher I strongly believe that we must take urgent action to improve the health of our young people. By providing a free school meal to all pupils will undoubtedly make a huge difference. It now needs to be part of their education. Giving them a taste of real food and encourage healthy eating lifestyle for life. We (teachers) have failed their parents who all too often rely on take aways rather than cooking for family meals. From experience after lunch classes were always a challenge where pupils were lunching on Red Bull and chips. No concentration and little learning took place. At present a free school meal is provided to all pupils in Primary 1, 2,and 3. This has been a great success. It now needs to extended to all. All costs involved could easily be covered by taxing high sugar and energy drinks and sweets. Urgent action is needed if we care about Scotlands future.

  • Stop Donald Trump from entering Scotland
    It is important that we ban Trump from entering Scotland as we do not wish him to promote his views here and to incite violence and hatred among people in Scotland. We do not have to show respect for a President who behaves in such a manner as Donald Trump who has promoted himself through a campaign of hate. Banning Trump from entering will be Scotland's way of rejecting his views of islamophobia, sexism, racial hatred and violence. This is important because Scotland is a multicultural country where we want to promote equality and justice for all. Please sign the petition. Thank you.

  • Young Offenders provision in the Highlands
    Young offenders, both on remand and serving a sentence, are aged 16 to 21. Keeping contact with family and friends is a vital part of rehabilitation into the community. However, for Y O s from the Highlands and Islands the journey to Polmont for their visitors is a long and costly journey and for some families may even be completely unaffordable. There is visiting time every day at Polmont, but if it is not equally accessible to Y O s from both the Central Belt and the Highlands and Islands, this does not seem to me to be fair and equal treatment under the law.

  • Stand up to Trump's Islamophobia
    To challenge the anti-Muslim rhetoric and re-inforce all British citizens' rights to travel freely. To highlight that Trump's stated desire to exclude members of one particular religion from entering the US is in contradiction of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

  • Whole of Ponteland must stay in Hexham Constituency.
    This proposal would effectively split a Community. We are a rural area and it makes no sense to attach the East Ward to an urban area. We have a hard-working MP, Guy Opperman, who understands rural affairs. This would adversely affect our infrastructure, our social affairs and the education of our children.

  • Associate EU citizenship for UK nationals
    Over 16 million people voted to remain in the EU, and together with a proportion of those who voted leave, strongly wish to retain the cultural benefits and friendship between European nations at an individual level. When Brexit is confirmed, currently all UK citizens will lose their EU citizenship and for me will affect such things as twinning, student exchange, and cultural exchanges.

  • Ask Brussels to preserve your rights and your vote
    The amendment suggests the provision of “European associate citizenship for those who feel and wish to be part of the European project but are nationals of a former Member State; offers these associate citizens the rights of freedom of movement and to reside on its territory as well as being represented in the Parliament through a vote in the European elections on the European lists”. The proposal could potentially give Brits who live and work across borders a workaround to the disruption caused by the Leave vote – and young people looking to flee an increasingly insular UK greater choice over where to move to. Associate citizens would be allowed to keep free movement across the EU as full citizens currently enjoy and would be allowed to vote in European Parliament elections, meaning they were still represented in Brussels.

  • Lower the University International Students Fee
    It's important for the future to make Education available and to keep it equal for everyone. Studying first year at an University in England has showed me that there literally is no point of having different tuition fee categories based on nationality. There aren't any extra help for us. We pay extra for nothing more than what every other students gets. It feels like theft! If you for example came from Scandinavia, you would still be recognised as international student in the UK, even if your home is only two hours away - it doesn't make any sense.
