Give Alan Bates an honour for exposing Post Office scandalPaula Vennells said she had “listened” after over 1.2million people signed the 38 Degrees petition to strip her of her CBE due to the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of postal workers. Now Alan Bates, the ex-postmaster who led the decades-long fight to expose the Horizon system scandal, should be recognised with the same honour himself. He had previously turned down an OBE as he believed it would be a “slap in the face” to the victims to accept an honour while Ms Vennells still held her CBE. Usually honours are announced to mark the New Year and the Monarch's birthday, but in special circumstances they can also be awarded at other times. Carol Vorderman, the presenter of the Pride of Britain Awards that recognised Alan Bates last year, is leading calls for him to receive a CBE at least. She said: "When I think of heroes I think of brave people who fight a Goliath for the good of all, and not themselves. Who are tenacious, who never give in. Alan Bates is all of those things. He shouldn't just get a CBE. He should be in the House of Lords getting his teeth into other matters. In Alan Bates we trust." Tory former Cabinet minister David Jones said: “Alan Bates has obviously done a huge amount to expose what was going on at the Post Office. Personally speaking, I think that if Ms Vennells had the CBE, I think that he would easily be worth that.” Labour MP Kevan Jones, a member of the Horizon compensation advisory board, said: “Alan Bates should definitely take up his OBE, but I think he deserves an honour much higher for all his efforts.” We understand the Government could award him with an honour immediately without waiting for the King’s Birthday Honours in June. The CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) is the highest honour (excluding a knighthood/damehood), followed by the OBE and then MBE. Alan has campaigned tirelessly for almost 20 years to expose the truth about the Post Office Scandal and get justice for subpostmasters whose lives it destroyed. He and his partner Suzanne Sercombe took over a shop in Llandudno that included a post office counter in 1998, investing £65,000 in the business. By the end of 2000, after the introduction of the Post Office’s new Horizon computer system, unexplained losses appeared in his accounts. In 2003, his contract was terminated. His careful record-keeping proved he was not at fault, but the Post Office said by then £1,200 was unaccounted for – a sum Alan said was never there in the first place and had simply appeared as a result of a glitch in the system. Alan’s determination to get to the truth began almost immediately. Setting up a website to highlight his concerns, he also reached out to journalists to highlight the case and made contact with other subpostmasters. He led a group of 555 postmasters in taking the Post Office to the High Court in a Group Litigation Order. In 2019, a judge ruled that the computer system contained “bugs, errors and defects”, and the Post Office agreed to settle with all the claimants who joined the GLO. Alan has become a national treasure after millions watched his long and painful fight for justice portrayed in the ITV drama, Mr Bates vs the Post Office.136,217 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by The Mirror

Stop the Government from spying on all of our bank accountsSir Keir Starmer is pushing plans we defeated under the Conservative Government - to spy on all of our bank accounts on the premise of dealing with welfare fraud and error. It will force banks to flag people who meet secret criteria to the government. Everyone wants fraudulent uses of public money to be dealt with, and the government already has strong powers to check the bank statements of suspects. But this is a major expansion of government power that takes away our financial privacy like never before and does away with the presumption of innocence - the democratic principle that you shouldn't be spied on unless police suspect you of wrongdoing. People who are disabled, sick, carers or looking for work should not be treated like criminals by default. None of us should. We must stop this! I don’t want my bank account to be spied on. If thousands of us sign this petition, we can make Starmer drop these dangerous mass bank spying powers.199,016 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Big Brother Watch

The crisis isn't over: Don't axe our lifelineThis winter, Waltham Forest Council has used £4.2m of HSF money to: • Provide free school breakfasts for 2,135 children. • Support over 11,000 families with free school meal vouchers. • Administer over 5,000 direct targeted payments to vulnerable households. If the HSF is not extended beyond Sunday 31 March, we will not be able to make up the funding ourselves. These services will simply not continue. This will have a huge impact on the people who need help the most. That’s why we are asking you to take a moment to sign our petition to the Government urging it to think again and extend the HSF. Please lend your support and join your councillors, neighbours, and local charities and faith groups to send a clear message: The crisis isn’t over.2,172 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Waltham Forest Council

Fujitsu should be held to account over the Post Office Horizon scandalAs Lord Falconer has already stated, the ongoing inquiry into the scandal “needs to examine in detail the role of Fujitsu, which provided and managed the faulty software. Was Fujitsu completely unaware of the devastating effect of its actions? Should it not contribute to the compensation claims of hundreds of sub-postmasters?”56 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeremy Lane

Post Office Horizon Scandal - Fujitsu should be liable for compensationWe have seen governments award contract after contract to private companies that either deliver little or no value to the public purse. Fujitsu for example on top of the Horizon Post Office scandal has been awarded further Government contracts worth over three billion pounds of public money. Not one single person within Fujitsu has publically been held to account and this needs to stop - now.1,119 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jason Currill

Petition for more homeless sheltersThe idea of homeless shelters will provide people living in poverty with a purpose, and an improved quality of life. This will ensure they do not go a day without nourishment, will give them a chance to socialise and relate with other people in their position, and to make our streets a happier place for both inhabitants and the public.157 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Gabriella Harper
