A young man has lost his life in a reservoir. It is happening everywhere this hot summer. Youngsters aren’t learning to swim. Everyone is entering dangerous waters. Wild Swimming is no alternative to a sociable space of a town pool and Life-Guards.  My memory of far cooler summers in Britain is of cold water, blue skies, green spaces and fun. In Switzerland and Germany there are huge pools everywhere.  During The Great Depression there were lidos. If they could have them then, why not now?

The current DWP complaints system lacks transparency, has poor tracking. Claimants often have no formal record when a complaint is made, making it difficult to get a fair resolution. Not only is MPs' time taken up with complaint administration to the DWP, the DWP must spent time updating claimants as to the progress of a complaint. Accessible complaints will address serious concerns from coroners, safeguarding bodies, human rights, and disability organisations - who protect rights and lives.

Our vision is for a National Care Service with free home care at its heart, placing social care on an equal footing with the NHS. We believe that home care should not be viewed simply as a private act of love performed by families, but as a collective responsibility that we all share. Just as Aneurin Bevan drew inspiration for the NHS from a successful local model in his hometown of Tredegar — the Tredegar Medical Aid Society — we similarly look to the innovative free home care model established in Hammersmith & Fulham in 1991 by the late Iain Coleman MP, alongside Dame Sally Powell and Stephen Burke, as a guiding example for our vision of social care. The outcomes in Hammersmith & Fulham speak for themselves: The latest figures show that 7.5 people per 1,000 receive home care — the highest rate of any London borough. ASCOF data indicates that the borough had the 4th lowest number of residents in care homes of all local authorities in 2024–2025. Discharge outcomes are particularly strong, with the borough consistently ranking highly for the number of individuals staying at home 91 days post-discharge — it ranked 5th nationally in 2023–24. Notably, home care is significantly more affordable than hospital beds or residential care options. In 2026–2027, only 16% of the borough’s £123 million adult social care budget was allocated to free home care, in stark contrast to the 33% spent on residential care, despite the relatively low number of people living in care homes. Baroness Casey made the powerful observation that social care, unlike the NHS or the benefits system, has never had its own “creation moment” — no founding settlement, no defining national mission, and no equivalent of 1948.  At the same time, many people across the country are frustrated by the pace and scale of national change and are seeking bold yet pragmatic ideas to transform everyday life.  We believe that establishing a National Care Service with free home care at the point of need at its heart could create a modern Bevan-style legacy, delivering the transformational change in social care that people are seeking.

Nigel Farage is claiming this as a move for the people against the establishment. The people who sign this give an overwhelming mandate that they do not approve of any by-election until all the facts are known and people can make a clear decision.   If his resignation is blocked, it will be because of the will of the people signing this petition and can not be spun as an ‘establishment’ tactic. 

I am a professional chauffeur covering up to 1500 miles weekly. Time and again I see drivers of trucks and cars ignoring red cross lanes on motorways. I am outraged that so many road workers are killed or injured whilst supposedly being protected by traffic signs which are being ignored. I NEVER see them stopped by police. They seem to know when cameras are not there. It is a daily occurrence for me to see this. How many more lives are to be lost. 

After taking Mounjaro, I experienced serious damage to my pancreas and gallbladder. My experience has highlighted the need for much closer monitoring of patients using this medication so that any serious complications can be identified and treated as early as possible. While Mounjaro has helped many people manage obesity and type 2 diabetes, patient safety must remain the highest priority. Patients deserve regular follow-up throughout their treatment—not simply a prescription with limited ongoing monitoring. I call for: • Mandatory clinical reviews every 2–3 months while patients remain on Mounjaro. • Routine blood tests to monitor pancreatic, liver and kidney function, and other appropriate markers. • Consideration of imaging, including MRI or other scans, when clinically appropriate or where patients develop symptoms or abnormal test results. • Comprehensive recording and investigation of all suspected serious adverse reactions. • Independent long-term research into the effects of Mounjaro on vital organs, including the pancreas, gallbladder, liver and kidneys. • Greater transparency from Eli Lilly regarding post-marketing safety data and emerging evidence. No patient should have to discover serious complications only after permanent damage has occurred. Better monitoring, better research and better aftercare could save lives, prevent irreversible harm and ensure that patients receive the safest possible care while benefiting from this medication. I ask Eli Lilly, healthcare regulators and healthcare providers to act now by strengthening the long-term safety monitoring of everyone prescribed Mounjaro. A year ago, I was overweight, but I was healthy. Like so many women with PCOS, I had struggled with my weight for years. Nothing seemed to work long-term until I was prescribed Mounjaro. It felt like the answer to all my problems. The weight came off, and even after stopping, I’ve managed to maintain it apart from the odd few pounds here and there. But what I wasn’t prepared for were the potential serious health complications. Since Saturday, I’ve been in hospital practically fighting for my life. I’ve been diagnosed with pancreatitis, cholecystitis, jaundice and gallstones. The pain has been indescribable, genuinely the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, and something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. On Sunday, things became even more serious. My blood pressure crashed, I was rushed to resus, and my family were told to let the doctors do everything they could because they didn’t know what the next 24 hours would bring. Hearing that at 24 years old is something I never imagined. I now need to have my gallbladder removed because it is completely full of gallstones. When I leave hospital, my life will look very different. I’ll have strict dietary changes to follow for the rest of my life to reduce the risk of chronic pancreatitis and help my body cope without a gallbladder. I’ve also been advised that I should never drink alcohol again. I’m not writing this to scare anyone or tell people what decisions they should make. Mounjaro has helped many people, and for me it worked exactly as intended when it came to weight loss. I’m sharing my story because I wish I had fully understood that, although rare, serious complications can happen. I answered every medical question honestly, it was prescribed appropriately, and I still ended up here. If I had known that a year after my first injection I’d be lying in a hospital bed, facing surgery and lifelong lifestyle changes, I would have made a very different decision. A year ago, I was healthy—just overweight. Today, I’m a healthy weight, but I’m facing the loss of an organ and a completely different future. Please, if you’re considering Mounjaro or any weightloss medication, make sure you understand not only the benefits but also the potential risks.  Ask questions. Read the information. Make the decision with your eyes open. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Thirteen MILLION of us are still locked out of dental care. After two years of ministers promising to finally fix NHS dentistry, shocking new data just revealed that almost nothing has changed. That is simply not good enough. Kids in A&E screaming in agony from tooth pain? Not good enough. Pensioners pulling out their own teeth because they can’t afford to go private? Not good enough. Half-baked tweaks to the system but no money to back it up? Not good enough. Enough is enough. Incoming PM Andy Burnham actually started trying to fix NHS dentistry back when he was Health Secretary. Now he’s got a huge chance to pick back up where he left off. Think he should make it a priority? Sign the petition now. 

At a time when the disabled, sick and aged are being chosen to once again pay the price for successive government's failures, it flies in the face of fairness that these already well paid individuals enjoy such subsidies and expenses.

I recently bought an audiobook that turned out to be AI generated. It was terribly written and the information was utter nonsense. The listing for the book didn’t indicate that it was AI. I suspected it was from the quality, and searching online eventually confirmed it. I managed to get a refund but it wasn’t easy because the book hadn’t violated any of the seller’s rules. This would have been avoided if the book was labelled as AI generated. This situation is unfortunately getting more common. Mandated labelling would give people the ability to choose which materials to consume and what to spend their money on. It would make it harder for scam “creators” to make money by pretending to be genuine, and allow people to make informed decisions about who and what to support. It could also protect the value and status of artists and creatives.

Drivers of E-bikes & E-scooters regularly drive without proper headgear or shoes. Many wear dark clothes & cannot be seen at night. Many do not have lights. They do not take notice of traffic lights. Many ride on pavements & are a great danger to pedestrians, especially those who are food delivery drivers. My wife & I have often been surprised & frightened by e-bike & e-scooter drivers driving past us  quickly & silently on local pavements & in our local park.

Children can’t legally gamble - so why are they flooded by gambling ads every time they watch football?    From shirt sponsorship and pitch-side hoardings to stadium branding and in-game promotions, gambling companies have taken over the game. Loopholes in the current system mean fans are still exposed to relentless gambling ads during live matches.    And it’s getting worse. More and more gambling messages are being shown, while new commercial deals - like FIFA’s partnerships to allow gambling operators to livestream World Cup games and show gambling ads in stadiums - are embedding gambling even deeper into the game. Football should bring communities together, not normalise gambling for the next generation. With the World Cup set to introduce millions of young fans to football, now is the moment to stop gambling ads dominating the game. That’s why we’re calling on the Government to kick gambling ads out of football for good.  

Getting paid while on placement would make a huge difference to me. As I’m about to start ODP (operating department practitioner), I’ve heard how time-consuming and stressful placements can be, with long hours that leave very little time to work alongside studying. Being paid would help ease the financial pressure of travel and everyday expenses, allowing me to focus on learning, gaining confidence, and becoming the best healthcare professional I can be and this applies to other students who are also doing courses in the healthcare field.
