• Link Ministers and MP’s Salary increases to rises in the minimum wage
    Previous government has secured a "get out" committee for the setting of their wages that ignores the state of the economy that their Government Ministers and MPs are ultimately responsible for. This has led to MPs salaries way above inflation while they vote against wage increases for others for reasons of affordability. Linking pay in this way is a simple way to use performance related pay to remunerate our leaders. It would hopefully help to bring back some fairness and trust to politics.

  • Letter to MP Geoffrey Cox to reconsider his vote to
    Dear Mr Cox, Currently the world is facing a situation that many generations have fortunately never had to live through, this of course being the pandemic of COVID-19. Sadly, there has already been too much heart break, with the loss of loved ones, closures or business, a loss of jobs to name but a few problems that we have inherited from this horrible environment. I am sure that as a member of parliament representing our constituency that you are doing everything you can to try help members of our community as they struggle through this difficult time. You can imagine my surprise when you voted against the extensions of free school meals to children in need up to the Easter period. I find this perplexing as in September the Prime Minster expected this period of restrictions to last up to 6 months, where I’m sure that many people will be struggling to make ends meet. Our constituency is very close and caring, where already local restaurants have reacted by providing free school meals to children during the October half term, however this should not be their responsibility to provide nourishment during this crisis. The winter period is hard on us all, and nourishment is vital for a child to be healthy over this period, not just in terms of growing but also to fight of illnesses, something which I would have though the government would have place at a high importance given the current climate. Although I did not vote for the current government, I am no means against them. I have nothing but respect for any member of the public who is trying their best to improve the country whilst helping people. I say this because this issue is not a liberal of conservative decisions. This is a humanitarian problem. Politics has no place in poverty, only morals and ethics. The decision to not feed a child in need has no excuse, no explanation. The action itself says it all. I understand you have your reasons to vote against the bill which I would be interested to hear. Perhaps you could answer questions of the public in a live feed so we as a people can debate with are elected official. However, I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision and realise the damaging effect this may have on our local community. I wish you and you family well during this difficult time and look forward to hearing a response from you. Yours Sincerely, Mr Hugo Blick

  • Fair pay for all NHS workers #NHSPAY15
    We need to retain and recruit healthcare staff. There are estimated to be well over a 100,000 vanccancies within the NHS. To put this into context, £6.2bn was spent on agency and bank staff last year to cover staff shortages and keep the NHS afloat! We are now dependent on bank or agency staff to help plug the gaps, mainly to fill nursing roles. Staff state that the quality of care is “compromised” and one in six said “patient safety was put at risk. NHS staff have been forced to work outside of their skill remit and contracted hours of work to meet the demands of a failing workforce. There have been initiatives to recruit overseas nurses to bridge these gaps however this is not feasible due to the travel restriction at this time. In order to recruit and retain staff the NHS needs to be a safe working environment that puts patient safety and the health and wellbeing of its staff first. It is astonishing that NHS professionals cannot afford to live and are using food banks or exhausting themselves with second jobs to make ends meet. NHS staff need to be paid in line with other healthcares workers and pay inequality needs to be addressed by the NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB). This petition is very important, the only report covering pay satisfaction was conducted in England and from the data collected it is clear that only a small proportion of staff were satisfied with pay the they received on AFC. The evidence states that staff satisfaction increased from 29% in 2017, before the pay agreement, to 36% in 2019. Therefore every signature counts towards evidence. Please sign this petition.

  • Addressing children in poverty in England
    Understand the impact of reforms on children where many other vulnerable groups are protected somewhat from the programmes of welfare reform, children remain vulnerable to its effects. Understanding the impacts of these reforms on children should help inform policies and encourage thinking about how to mitigate these effects.

  • SAVE THE 60+OYSTER CARD and FREEDOM PASS
    The 60+ Oyster Card and Freedom Pass are currently under threat. Peak time travel with these concessionary passes has been suspended for some months but the Mayor has now been told to remove the passes altogether. Given the prohibitive price of travel in London, such an action would be catastrophic for older Londoners, many of whom are already struggling to make ends meet, and may lead to widespread social isolation and depression.

    This will let people live in the living conditions everyone now a days should be living in and can potentially save many, many lives for so many elderly and anyone who has lost their job through pandemic or cannot work for health or many other reasons. The last thing Scotland needs now is badly insulated homes more people getting ill while we try fight a deadly virus.

  • Remove Jo Gideon as Trustee of Feeding Britain
    Jo Gideon, Conservative MP for Stoke on Trent Central, voted against the motion to provide meals for the children of poor/vulnerable families during the Christmas holidays. As a Trustee of the Charity, she should be supporting every single endeavour to provide food for those who need it; that’s what Feeding Britain is all about. Her action is extremely hypocritical and her position as a Trustee is incongruous.
