Repair the Oldbury Court Estate River PathHundreds of people use this public right of way path every day to get to school, work, shops, visit family or simply to walk in the Park. When flooded, the path is unsafe and impassable. This has a huge effect on everyday life, extending the time is takes to get to work and school and limiting all park activities. Raise awareness by signing the petition, so that local residents can use the river path again!365 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Louis Martin

Stop scanning us all with facial recognitionThe government is about to unleash the “largest ever” roll out of live facial recognition surveillance. At the same time, shops across the UK are wiring up facial recognition cameras to their doorways and creating secret watchlists of their customers. Facial recognition is spiralling out of control in the UK and there are no clear laws in place to protect our privacy. Unlike CCTV, facial recognition doesn’t just record what you do, your face becomes a barcode in the same way as your fingerprint or your DNA. We must stop this. The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, recently revealed her chilling vision of building a “panopticon” where “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.” Your passport photo is now being searched by police facial recognition systems, even if you have done nothing wrong and your driving licence photo will be next. If we don’t set clear limits now, our rights to privacy, free speech, protest and access to information are all at risk. Live facial recognition also has documented issues with bias, last year 80% of people who were misidentified by these cameras by the Met Police were black. We all want criminals to be caught but that should not mean that all of us are treated like suspects and put at risk of criminal accusations. If thousands of us sign this petition, we can put an end to uncontrolled facial recognition surveillance by police and shops.6,311 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Big Brother Watch

Bring a Shared Banking Hub to Neston to Restore Local Access to Essential Banking ServicesNeston now has no banks or building societies serving the town. With nearby branches in Heswall due to close, the closest in-person banking services will soon only be available in West Kirby or Chester. This leaves many residents — particularly older people, small businesses, and those without reliable transport or digital access — without reasonable access to essential financial services. The Post Office in Little Neston cannot fully replace the role of a local bank branch, especially for more complex transactions, business banking needs, and face-to-face financial support. We call on LINK, the major UK banks, and relevant decision-makers to assess Neston urgently and establish a shared Banking Hub in the town, ensuring residents and local businesses retain fair, convenient, and safe access to everyday banking services. Access to cash and in-person banking is not a luxury — it is a vital service for a thriving and inclusive community.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stuart Cheetham

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!A secretive US tech company called Palantir is embedding itself into our public services - including running a huge patient database for our NHS. Co-founded by a billionaire Trump donor, it provides tech to Trump’s ICE immigration agency and the Israeli military. But right now we’ve got a major chance to get their NHS deal scrapped - and kick start a domino effect that sees ALL their contracts ended. How? Ministers actually have the option to cancel the NHS deal early. But with these contracts flying under the radar, it’ll take all of us speaking up to make that happen. If you agree that our NHS and other public services shouldn’t be cutting deals with a private company that helps armies kill people, sign the petition now!87,811 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Zack Polanski

After school detentionFollowing the recent email from Launceston College about automatic after-school detention for students triaged in the last period, I am starting this petition because this decision is simply not acceptable. This policy doesn’t just affect students — it disrupts whole families. Many children rely on school buses. Many parents work fixed hours. Detaining a child after school without properly considering how they get home is not a small issue — it creates real problems. This change appears to have been introduced without asking parents. Decisions that affect transport and end-of-day arrangements should not be imposed without proper consultation. For neurodivergent children especially, sudden changes to routine can cause genuine distress. Discipline should not create unnecessary anxiety or chaos for families. We are asking the College to pause this decision and work with parents to find a fair and workable alternative. Families deserve to be heard.130 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Natasha Wenden

Include Hinduism also in Religious Education curriculum in all schools in the UKHinduism is the oldest religion in the planet. Hindu children feel highly demoralized and feel inferior to others when their religion is dropped out. Other religion kids bully them due to this discriminatory drop out. Many unique features like reincarnation, conciousness etc which are topics of research will come into light if Hindu religion basics is introduced, as these are present only in this religion2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amarnath Annathur

“Switch the Rosette, Face the Voters: No Mandate Without a Re-Vote.”Arguments for Triggering a By-Election When an MP Switches Parties 1. The Mandate Belongs to the Voters — Not the Individual In UK general elections, most voters cast their ballot for a party platform as much as for a person. Campaign leaflets, manifestos, televised debates, and doorstep promises are all party-branded. If an MP switches allegiance mid-term, they are no longer representing the manifesto voters endorsed. A by-election restores democratic consent. 2. Manifesto Commitments Matter Voters choose between competing visions — tax, public services, immigration, defence, welfare. When an MP changes parties, they may also change policy positions. Without a by-election, constituents are effectively represented by policies they explicitly voted against. A re-vote ensures policy alignment with public will. 3. Trust in Politics Is Fragile Public confidence in politics is already low. Party switching can appear opportunistic or career-driven — fair or not. Requiring a by-election: • Demonstrates accountability • Removes suspicion of personal gain • Strengthens democratic legitimacy It says: “If I believe this is right, I trust my constituents to agree.” 4. It Protects Democratic Stability Party balance in Parliament affects: • Government majorities • Confidence votes • Legislative outcomes If multiple MPs switch without electoral endorsement, it can materially alter the political landscape voters chose. A by-election ensures Parliament reflects current consent, not internal political manoeuvring. 5. It Encourages Principle Over Convenience If an MP genuinely believes their original party no longer reflects their values, that is honourable. But honour is completed by seeking renewed approval from constituents. Conviction should withstand scrutiny at the ballot box. 6. It Aligns Representation With Consent The UK operates on representative democracy — but representation must rest on ongoing legitimacy. Switching parties without voter approval risks undermining that principle. A by-election renews the social contract. 7. It Creates a Clear Democratic Standard Rather than public outrage, media pressure, or selective resignations, a rule requiring a by-election would: • Remove ambiguity • Apply equally to all parties • Prevent tactical defections Clarity strengthens fairness. Closing Line If an MP believes they can change colours and still carry the same mandate — then they should have nothing to fear from returning to the people who lent it to them. Switch the party. Face the public. Let democracy decide.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Rogers

Making Care Experienced a protected characteristic in the UKThose who are care experienced have often had multiple adverse childhood experiences (known as ACE’s). Typically, the higher the number of ACEs, the greater the incident of negative outcomes which can include: poor outcomes in education, early involvement with the criminal justice system and homelessness as well as many others. Shocking studies have shown that children in care are much more at risk of interacting with crime by the age of 24 than their peers. National figures indicate that over half (52%) of care experienced children had been convicted of a criminal offence by the time they had turned 24 compared with only 13% of those who had not been in care. Only 15% of pupils who had been looked after for 12 months or more in 2019 had progressed to higher education by age of 19. However the progression rate for all other pupils is more than three times higher at 47%. Additionally, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for ending homelessness reported that ‘one third of all care leavers became homeless in the first two years immediately after they left care and 25% of homeless people had been in care at some point in their lives. By making care experienced a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, it would ensure care experienced children could not be discriminated against and help businesses, employers and public services to put in place better support systems.145 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mercedes Burton
