• Stop MP's from taking a second job
    NORTH Herefordshire MP Bill Wiggin has been accused of helping tax-avoiding hedge funds set up shop on 'sunny offshore islands' in a recent edition of Private Eye. This should not be allowed because it can cause a conflict of interest & lead to bias in favour of companies they work for usually big corporation there should be a level playing field not just for the wealthy MP's are supposed to represent everyone in Society not just the privileged few!

  • Improve security for the o2 Arena car park
    Not only does this affect the staff at the 02, it will also have an affect on the customers who expect their vehicles to remain safe whilst spending time at the 02. This is a customer relations crisis in the making and needs to be urgently addressed to stem the flow of vehicle related crimes

  • Stop financially penalising disabled people
    My daughter has a life long incurable disability. She did not choose to be so disadvantaged. She was born with the condition and her fiance has the same impairment. Both have autism, are highly intelligent, and like 90% of other people on the autistic spectrum are unemployed. The DWP placed them both in the 'support' group. This is a curious name as neither actually receive any extra assistance, financially or practically. It basically means they are 'unemployable', which is not great for self esteem. Neither chose to be out of work, on benefits and to live in poverty. What stops them, like others with disabilities, getting a job is employer attitudes, an individual's health, lack of experience and job opportunities, a review by the house of lords found in 2015. They were planning to get married this year and we were all looking forward to the day. It would have been a small family occasion, but something to celebrate. Even this small piece of happiness has been smashed by the latest revelations in the Guardian. Under the Tory welfare 'reforms' - I think the word 'changes' is more appropriate - if they marry, they will be moved over onto universal credits, which are less generous than the tax credits and ESA they currently receive. So much for the Tory endorsement of strong families. They have very little money now. Married, that would be even less. The hypocrisy amazes me. Iain Duncan Smith's speech in the summer of 2015 made the point that if the government wants to reduce the employment gap for those with disabilities, then support and financial investment are vital. Instead, these cuts are driving some of the poorest households into further poverty and penalising people who are too disabled, or sick, to work.

  • BBC: Question Time Needs Diversity Now
    Question Time is BBC's flagship political programme. If, like me, you grew up with a passion for politics, or a little bit worried about the state of the world around you, you might have tuned in on a Thursday. You might also have expected it to represent the views of people in the UK. But it doesn't. *Black women have appeared just 16 times in five years, and 12 of those appearances have been made by Diane Abbott.* Please read this David Lammy article - he puts it better than I could: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/04/question-time-britain-ethnic-minorities-bbc-diane-abbott-chuka-umunna

  • Opt out organ donation
    For saving lives. Letting people live normal lives, instead of being hooked up to dialysis machines, either in hospital or at home. Heart transplants that give people the ability to lead a normal life. Kidney/liver.. The list is endless. The case of the brave parents of a young boy that helped four people. SO OPT OUT NOT OPT IN

  • Renewing Trident Must Be Put Before A Referendum
    It is of national importance that the renewal of Trident as a nuclear 'deterrent' should be put forward to the people of Britain. Using clear and concise language the arguments for and against its renewal should be debated and presented to the public so that they can make an informed decision about whether they wish to renew Trident or not. Trident's renewal is not an issue that can be decided by parliamentarians on our behalf, it does require the unequivocal support of the people, via direct democracy. Any decision that would have direct implications on our nation's present and future, to the extent that renewing our nuclear capabilities has, is of the highest importance and should only be decided on a one person one vote basis.

  • RUPERT MURDOCH IS NOT A "FIT AND PROPER" PERSON TO RUN SKY
    RUPERT MURDOCH is expected to launch a bid for the 61 per cent of Sky he does not own. This would be a disaster for the UK. If he succeeds his media penetration will approach Berlusconi levels of domination. His previous attempt to take over Sky in 2011 was thwarted at the last minute by the revelation that the News of the World hacked the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler. If he gets total control of Sky, Murdoch will quickly start the process of turning it into a UK version of the despicable Fox network in the US. This would be the equivalent of the Sun on our TV screens. Currently, Ofcom keeps a tight rein on UK broadcasters - in stark contrast to the poodle-like press "watchdog" IPSO. But Murdoch now has David Cameron and his culture secretary John Whittingdale on side. Cameron has made it clear in the past that he thinks Ofcom is too powerful. This 38degress petition is part of The People v Murdoch campaign launched by the investigative website Press Gang. Already we've written to Ofcom chief executive Sharon White asking her to launch an inquiry. Read more in the Press Gang article http://wp.me/p3kXx7-dY This is a key battleground — the stakes could not be higher. If Ofcom deems Murdoch unfit, then he'll be forced to give up control of the 39 per cent of Sky. The empire would start to unravel ... The clock is ticking — please sign the petition!

  • Jeremy Hunt, take part in a live TV debate with current Doctors and representatives of the NHS.
    The future of NHS is a source of worry for a great swathe of the population. A huge majority of Doctors, experts and professionals linked with the NHS, see Jeremy Hunt's plans as a destructive force for a public service we all hold so dear. Many of his stats (such as the 20% increased likelihood of dying from a stroke at the weekend) have been called out as incorrect by those within the industry. As well as false media claims that those involved are quaffing champagne, whilst one doctor's payslip recently proved that it is possible to be paid as little as £2.61 an hour currently. The NHS is an important part of British culture and seen by many as one of the proudest achievements of Western democracy. The fact that it has currently been dragged into a slagging match at a national level, isn't the correct way to deal with such an issue. As it is a public service, and one that the public not only relies on but also holds in such high regard, the facts should be made public, with both sides allowed a say. Mr Hunt should show he holds the NHS is the same high regard as the public, by treating this situation with the respect it deserves and having an open public debate about these important issues.
