Reopen the Police Investigation into PartygateThe longer this matter goes on, the more urgent it becomes to resolve it, so the country can move on, we can restore dignity and integrity to our Politics, and stop being an international laughing stock (as we have become), enduring such apparent tawdry and criminal behaviour from a man who has brought the office of Prime Minister, and his party, into disrepute.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Mcginty

Pay Costa Coffee workers what we are worthI have worked for Costa for almost 9 months now, and it's certainly been a mixed bag. When I started I knew the job was going to be difficult, but what encouraged me to join was the promise of great benefits and a great wage. This was true, at the beginning. To put it bluntly, costa employees are NOT fairly paid for their work. The job is hard. Constantly on your feet for hours, jumping from station to station to meet ridiculous targets while ensuring you always meet a "brand standard" regardless of how exhausted, understaffed or overworked you are. You won't just be just making coffee, you'll be cleaning absolutely everything constantly, cooking food, serving customers, learning the process to correctly make new drinks that change frequently, carrying heavy trays, using dangerous equipment, and the list goes on. Staff are forced to work to a ridiculous standard while on shift, but when at home, you also have a lot of extra training (homework) that needs to be done before you can get your first pay rise. It's absolutely ludicrous. Staff are skilled and trained to achieve these goals, but we are never compensated for all the hard work we are expected to put in. Shifts will never end when they are scheduled to, meaning a 9-hour shift can quickly become a 10-hour shift if not more, which would be fine if we had longer than a measly 30 minutes to recharge. I was taking all of this on the chin though, as were my colleagues until something came to light. The store I work at is located in a retail park, with tens of others shops located around. It turns out that every single other business is paying their staff MORE than what we get paid at costa. I don't mean to compare, but one of these stores is a very simple basic retail store, where I know from first-hand experience the responsibility and expectations are MUCH lower. They are making over £10 an hour meanwhile costa employees remain on even less than £10 per hour. This is unacceptable. The cost of living is rising continuously. Essentials are more expensive, bills, rent, tax, food, water, everything is going up continuously. We are tired of living on the crust of the breadline while dedicating so much of our time and effort to maintaining the standards Costa hopes to achieve. We are tired. We demand better treatment, and this starts with paying us what we are worth. The working class are continually exploited by the system we are placed in. We spend our lives working our lives away while being told we should be grateful to make enough to survive. This isn't enough. Time is the most valuable asset we all have, and we cannot and will not be expected to throw it away to companies that do not care about anything other than their profit margins. The only reason these companies have profits is because we are dedicating our lives to making them money. Enough is enough. Collectively we are ALL worth SO much more than what we get, but I cannot speak for the entirety of the working class. I can only speak from my experience and the company I work for. If you work for Costa Coffee, or you sympathise with fellow workers who are making barely enough to get by, please share a hand (or a signature) to help us through. It really means a lot. We are strong together. We don't need to accept this anymore.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chelsea Davies

Abolish Private SchoolsThe state of the nation is in the hands of the leaders. The state of the nation is very poor in so many ways.

Fair Fares Now! Tell SPT to cut bus faresAround half of Glaswegians don't have access to a car – one of the lowest rates of car ownership in Scotland. Thousands of people rely on public transport to get around, whether it's getting to work or going out for a night in the town. Mobility is essential to access opportunities and support businesses across Glasgow, yet increased fares will push many more passengers into transport poverty. https://www.getglasgowmoving.org/content/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/fairfaresnow-header2.png What can be done? Our regional transport authority, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), has new powers to re-regulate all bus companies in the region, similar to what happens in London and Manchester. SPT could also set-up a new publicly-owned bus company for our region, like in Edinburgh and Cardiff. We're calling on SPT to use the powers at their disposal to re-regulate bus services across Glasgow and the wider Strathclyde region so they can cut our fares to bring us in-line with other cities. This will also mean we can have one simple ticket that works across all transport modes, and caps fares to ensure passengers with connections are not penalised. This could work just like the Oyster card in London. It's vital that SPT uses these powers to address transport poverty and reduce the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on passengers now. High bus fares and poor services are pushing passengers away from public transport. If we are serious about addressing the climate emergency then our region needs to develop a public transport network that is fit for the 21st century. #LoveMyBus #FairFaresNow References for UK Bus Fares: London - £1.65 flat fare (fully-regulated by Transport for London) https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/new-fares Manchester - £2.00 flat fare (when fully-regulated by Transport for Greater Manchester by 2024) https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/mar/14/andy-burnham-cap-greater-manchester-bus-fares-2-pounds Cardiff - £2.00 flat fare (Cardiff Bus is publicly-owned by Cardiff Council) https://www.cardiffbus.com/on-the-bus-fares Edinburgh - £1.80 flat fare (Lothian Buses is publicly-owned by Edinburgh Council 91%, Midlothian Council 5%, East Lothian Council 3% and West Lothian Council 1%) https://www.lothianbuses.com/tickets Glasgow - £2.65 (First Bus is privatised & deregulated) https://www.firstbus.co.uk/greater-glasgow/tickets/changes-our-fares First's website is deliberately misleading. Although it states tickets are “from £1.80”, if you want to travel more than two stops the fare is £2.65 and far more expensive if you need to travel beyond the city boundary into the surrounding region.5,600 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Get Glasgow Moving

STOP the Vale cutting the Abbey Meadow Outdoor pool season to ONLY 6 weeks!!The council say 'high oil price - no money'. We say.... A Missed opportunity to experience nature and the outdoors. A Missed opportunity to improve public mental health through exercise. A Missed opportunity to bring people into the town centre. A Missed opportunity to boost struggling businesses. Open the Pool on May 28th as usual - it is not a dispensable, last on the list, afterthought - it is a valuable public asset in a beautiful setting. Support the pool, let's get it open, let's send the Vale of the White Horse District Council a message. We have one of the most beautiful locations of any pool in the country, such a waste!! In 2018 the Tories got the pool refurbished. Come on Lib Dems You've got total control of the council – show us you can make it work for people of Abingdon. Don’t let us down!!1,419 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nick Bell, Friends of Abbey Meadow Outdoor Pool
