  • Respond to Paris attacks by welcoming Syrian refugees
    Welcoming more refugees from Syria would be a beautiful and fitting memorial to those who were murdered in Paris, by reaching out to help these other victims of IS's violence. It would demonstrate the stark contrast between our bravery and compassion, and IS's corwardice and brutality. It would send a clear, defiant message that the UK will not bow to terrorism and will not give in to fear.

  • Vote to create peace and stability in the World
    The West has, by its political and military activities, dramatically reduced the safety and security of people around the World and has created the refugee crisis. These activities have significantly increased the escalation of tensions between countries and religious groups and brought about an increase in violence everywhere.

  • Stop Mega Dairies. Stop the lagoon in Hartland Devon.
    Mega Dairies, where over 1000 cows are held in sheds 24/7 all year, are cruel and cause serious environmental damage. It is often called 'zero-grazing' when cows are never allowed in fields. It is a disgraceful form of farming... and it is entirely unnecessary. It is motivated only by greed not a social need. In Hartland in Devon an enormous slurry lagoon has been built, without even asking for permission, in the middle of an AONB. Since then the whole area has suffered considerable environmental damage and several people blame their health problems on it. And the cows... well they are healthy when measured in terms of milk yield but just look into their eyes. It is sad to see. It is in complete contrast to cows in fields that show curiosity and a spectrum of social behaviors. Please help us stop this kind of farming. Stopping this lagoon is the first step. http://stopit.org.uk The farm in Hartland is owned by the same persion that was responsible for the Nocton that resulted in an uproar of protest and Early Day Motions in Parliment.

  • Stop front line council cuts!
    Not only are you making a large number of hard-working people redundant, but also these cuts are affecting the residents living within the boroughs and the way that they access council services. For example; The decision to close cash-offices in councils means that, for our older generation, it it now much more complicated to pay their rent and council tax...they have to have a suitable bank account (using unfamiliar technology) and be able to access and understand the new paypoint system. There is a lot to be said for the human-touch....face to face customer service will always be more efficient and effective than automated systems as less errors will be made by the residents and more help available from the council employees.

  • Pesticide and herbicide free Cornwall
    Many pesticides used in towns have been linked to serious illnesses like cancers and birth defects. Children are particularly vulnerable. Hundreds of towns around the world have already gone pesticide-free It’s time that Cornwall took the initiative and did the same. We need to protect our children from the harmful effects of pesticides. The French government have brought in a law to stop the use of all non-agricultural pesticides by 2020 - so it is possible. If Cornwall were to stop their use it would help protect our children and provide wider social and environmental benefits to all the citizens of this great county.

  • Stop the Trade Unions Bill
    Yesterday, our MPs debated the Trade Union Bill again. And the Government won. The Bill passed with 305 votes for, and 271 against. This is devastating news - but the fight goes on. As the debate moves to the House of Lords, we need to highlight the attack on democracy that is contained in the Bill. The Conservative party want to be in power for a generation, and are fixing the system to make that happen. They’re making it harder to register to vote, and are redrawing the Parliamentary map in a way that benefits them. The Bill is seeking to impose limits on minimum returns and vote percentages of total membership, for those seeking to take industrial action. This reeks of rank hypocrisy from a Government who only polled just less than 25% of the electorate, yet they deem that a clear mandate to continue with their ever more punitive and regressive policy making But that’s not all. Hidden in the Trade Union Bill is a clause that is deliberately designed to restrict trade unions supporting the Labour Party financially - while doing nothing to limit the hedge funds and millionaires that support the Tories. Another clear case of "Do as we say, Not as we do!"

  • Free/cheaper public transport for children under 18
    We are asking for all children under 18 years of age to be given free transport at the very least for school journeys. • Some children cannot afford bus/tram fare – walking could lead to crimes • Walking home is not an option; children live too far from their school; also winter is approaching Public transport is safer, there are many people; which also reduces crime rate on public transport

  • Stop landline charge increases!
    Most houses still have a landline which is controlled by BT and therefore there is no real competition except for Virgin who seem to increase prices in line with copper wire providers. Consumers have no option but to pay and that includes many pensioners on fixed incomes but who may need the landline because it is required for their link to emergency services.

  • Collect the £120 billion in unpaid taxes by corporations like Google & Starbucks
    Austerity Cuts are affecting the most vulnerable people in society, as well as hard working families, local authority budgets, and the NHS as well as other public services. However the money saved through austerity is an insignificant amount when compared to the amount of money being lost through tax evasion and tax avoidance. Collection of this unpaid tax would negate the need for austerity all together and could boost the economy improve the standard of living for everyone in the UK.

  • Make it a criminal offence to deliberately lie Or miss lead in the House of Parliament
    Currently it is not an offence to lie or mislead in the House of Parliament. I think if this was a criminal offence the lies and misleading would stop.
