Remove calories from menusEating disorders rates are increasing rapidly, many young girls and a lot of young boys today have an eating disorder of some sort and putting calories on a menu encourages the disorder and discourages them from seeking help and recovery, as well as this, it can also allow people to develop an eating disorder if they did not have one already. Anorexia has a 20% mortality rate and can lead to infertility, anaemia, death, ect, bulimia can lead to cardiac arrest, infertility, tooth loss and death also, they're incredibly deadly eating disorders that need to be looked out for more.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amie Mannion

Keep Free Public Transport for over 60s in LondonWe have worked all our lives to get pensions. Many of us had our pensions delayed for more than 5 years. Anyone aged 60-66 have had to work 6 years longer than the over 70s The 1 thing we were able to get was free Public transportation . Now that they have extended the congestion charge zone and are extending it further we cannot afford to drive. We aren’t able to cycle or walk we need help. Many of us have also lost our jobs and income through Covid TFL and Government are just trying to kill us off as quickly as possible to save their economy.585 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Beth Charkham

Pay Student Nurses on placement until COVID-19 no longer is a pandemic.Student nurses have to complete 2300 hours of placement to be a registered nurse and with all the disruptions due to the pandemic this has been made difficult. Students have had to leave part time jobs to catch up on hours or are forced to make up time if they have to isolate. We aren’t entitled to sick pay and therefore we can find ourselves in financial difficulties very quickly. Acquiring COVID from placement could mean not only a high volume of hours to catch up on but also time off part time work. We are exposed to the same things qualified health professionals are however we have no protection. This can’t go on and there either needs to be pay for student nurses or a reduction in the hours that must be completed to allow time for those who end up suffering with COVID time to recover or isolate or a full refund in university fees for all the contributions student nurses make to help the NHS cope in these unprecedented times.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anonymous 1

Re-open Sinfin Health CentreSince the early part of this year, Sinfin Health Centre has been closed for face-to-face consultations with patients. This has meant that we have had to travel to the Heatherton Village branch of the practice. Without a car this means four bus journeys or a taxi fare of £8 to £9 each way. The doctors and other staff are much appreciated by many of us and we do understand the effect that Covid 19 has had on our NHS. However, we feel it to be unfair for one patient group to have to struggle in this way, especially as Sinfin is home to many elderly people and young families on lower incomes. We therefore ask our doctors to consider the impact of their decision and to reopen Sinfin Health Centre now.360 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Peter Robinson

Stop the USA trade dealNow that we are not part of the EU., USA., product would have an adverse effect on our farmers and maybe health. Pricing our farmers out with products that are cheap, unclean washed with bleach and slaughtered in unhygienic conditions and will flood the market with very cheap prices in large volume. Breed with antibiotics that if, consumed may take away yr immune defences. That's aside from the fruit & vegetables sprayed with insecticides.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angelica Steward

Secure the Minimum Income Floor suspension on Universal CreditIn just under a month the suspension on the Minimum Income Floor (MIF) for Universal Credit payments will end. [1] This may seem like an insignificant fact but the suspension of the MIF has been the only lifeline for self-employed people like myself and 3 million others who fell through the gaps in the various coronavirus employment support packages [2]. What the reintroduction of MIF means is that any individual who earns less than £1,322 (after expenses) per calendar month will be considered unemployed even if they submit a tax return. They will be expected to be looking for work for 35 hours a week and to take any job that is offered even if it might clash with their pre-existing self-employment [3]. Their existing profession will not be considered viable. My sector has been on standby on the instruction of the government in the interests of public health. My business is only temporarily interrupted because of the closures of venues which will eventually reopen, and yet I have not received a penny in Covid-related support from either furlough or the SEISS. Like many others like me, I have managed to survive on Universal Credit and/or through the generosity of friends. With the reintroduction of the Minimum Income Floor, not only will I be forced to close my business, I will also not be able to afford to retrain in anything that I have the potential to succeed at. This will force self-employed artists like myself into precarious unskilled jobs, if available, and poverty. Productivity will drop and recovery of the arts sector post-pandemic will be delayed by a generation. It’s also a real slap in the face to artists who already make huge financial and personal sacrifices to be able to create joy and escapism for other people. The arts are viable, and we’re important. For the last 8 month, we’ve been largely ignored by the government despite their assertions that they won't "leave anyone behind" [4]. The removal of the MIF will be the last straw. __________________________ References: [1] The Social Security (Coronavirus) Regulations | "Section 2 deals with MIF suspension. Section 10 deals with the expiry of this legisaltion which says "(2) Regulations 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9 cease to have effect at the end of the period of eight months beginning on 13th March 2020." | https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/371/made?fbclid=IwAR1aIcgQ62JmRfKr98sKkQDlqJV_mO1En8rLb281xz_KGEHRJsPVuP3Fy7Y [2] Calculation for the 3 million taxpayers excluded from UK Government Covid-19 financial support | ExcludedUK | "Self-employed excluded: 1.6 million, CJRS excluded – ltd company directors: 710,000, CJRS excluded – other employees: 790,000" | https://www.excludeduk.org/three-million-breakdown [3] Universal Credit: Your Responsibilities | https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/your-responsibilities [4] "You have not been forgotten.
