• abolish Work Capability Assessments as inhumane and degrading
    It impacts on the mental health and wellbeing of so many claimants who have long term illness, disabilities or mental health issues. Article 3 of the Human Rights Act states that it is illegal to subject people to inhumane or degrading treatment. Althoughno causal link between Work capability assessments, deaths and suicides can be categorically proven , there is evidence of hundreds of deaths for people subject to benefit sanctions made after these assessments . Endthis inhumane practice now! Call upon the PM to abolish these degradinginhumane assessments now

  • Rural Safe School Routes RSSR (Glenavy)
    This area has become increasingly populated with young families and children. Our children are forced to walk, cross and attempt to make school Transportation in a highly dangerous and om some of the most dangerous pedestrian areas in N.I. There are cars speeding up to 80mph on these roads, and the village doesn't contain one safe passage way for a child. Children are walking and crossing on blind bend's, nonpaved roads and blind spots upro a horrendous 8 times per day with out so much as a pedestrian crossing yet still expected to reach there school transportation in the village Main Street safely. This is particularly unfair for disadvantaged families who have no transportation, are disabled or have disabled children. I wish to raise awareness around my child making it to school everyday alive and that ofnorhers or a safer alternative put in place.as a temporary measure immediately.

  • UK Citizens for the Rights and Dignity of all US Citizens
    In the current post-Brexit climate of uncertainty the UK Government will be seeking opportunities for beneficial trade deals with the US under Trump. This threatens to condone Trump's racist, Islamophobic and sexist policies in the eyes of the world. Diplomatic relations between the UK and US must be used to check Trump's maverick disregard for the equal rights and dignity of all US citizens and, at the same time, send a clear message in the UK (and throughout the world) that sexism and racism will not be tolerated by advanced democratic nations. Trump may have been voted in, but votes do not trump human rights.

  • Keep Elections Honest
    It has become increasingly obvious that those seeking political office or power and the media cannot be relied upon to fairly and accurately represent the facts to win their arguments. This polarised exaggeration has now reached the stage where it becomes increasingly impossible for people to make an informed choice on issues essential to the wellbeing and future of our society. I propose that new legislation be introduce to limit the malicious use of false statements to further agenda’s in public office or debate, while it is a fundamental principal that free speech is an essential aspect of modern society checks and balances must be borough in to address the increasing tendencies to exaggerate or make up facts to win elections. Malice the desire to harm someone; ill will. Law wrongful intention, especially as increasing the guilt of certain offences. I propose the definition be expanded to include the desire to harm another argument, wilfully putting forward false facts or failing to check facts pertinent to a proposition would become a crime and there should be consequence’s for wilfully doing so, the use of these strategies to win an election should also be sufficient grounds to declare the election void and any results invalid. In our modern age it is quite reasonable to insist large media campaigns perform with integrity and that the current trend for excessive false statement’s be challenged. Please do not respond with anything implying The Seven principles of public life (that were first set out in 1995 by Lord Nolan, the founding Chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life) cover this, as they obviously are not working and are not being enforced. Any basis of ethical standards expected of holders of public office MUST be backed with legislation or are meaningless plattitudes brough up to avoid the serious underlying issues threatening our democracy.

  • Save the Mad Hatter's Tea Room
    The Mad Hatters Tea Room at Derby's Alvaston Park is due to close. Derby City Council has decided not to renew its lease because the authority wants to take it "in house". This will effect greatly the people of Alvaston who use this facility and of course undo a great deal of work carried out by our volunteers at the 'Alvaston Park Friends' in particular who have worked tirelessly to get our fantastic park to green flag standard, we need to fight this and keep the Mad hatter cafe under private management. We're worried that if the council take over the lease there will be a drop in quality and the prices will go up. Given all the cuts that are happening in Derby right now (toilets closing, the water feature and more) we're worried that the council could end up closing the cafe.

  • Amazon: Provide fair pay and conditions for your staff
    To prevent the undermining of living standards and conditions of workers in the UK From the BBC: "Amazon delivery drivers regularly work "illegal" hours and receive less than the minimum wage, it has been claimed. Drivers for agencies contracted by the internet giant told an undercover reporter they were expected to deliver up to 200 parcels a day. Some admitted breaking speed limits to stay on schedule, while others said time was not allowed for toilet breaks." The government tells us that employment figures are doing well, but don't explain that many jobs are zero hours with low and minimum pay rates. This situation undermines workers ability to plan and budget and in many cases causes hardship. The situation with Amazon is at the hard end of this, causing social and financial hardship. The law needs to be changed so that people work for Amazon, thus gaining employee rights, with adequate breaks, holidays and decent pay.

  • Why Can't I Live Here?
    Hey my name is Kara, I am a Care Leaver, & have been in care my whole life. I have been moved around the United Kingdom until I was ten and placed in London with family. This was the best move for me. I now have support from my family, made friends that accepted me & I felt like I finally found a place that I could call home. I will have been living here for 11 years in February but Southwark housing are saying I'm not entitled to social housing. The reason for this is because 17 years ago I was placed in Wigan. I have no connections to Wigan at all. All my life I've been "placed" somewhere. I've never had the choice, I'm 20 years old and I can now choose to stay in London. So why are you denying me my human rights and why do you want me to move to Wigan? Nothing is there for me. From the age of 17 I have been a carer working with elderly and disabled service which I loved. I have now been working as a support worker for service users with mental health. As a young women who has spent her whole life in the care system It is hard to stay on track. With the help and support that I have in London I have been able to and I don't want to lose that. I feel that this issue is important because the majority of children in care, don't have a say or a choice in where they can live especially when they're young. So why as an adult must we suffer even more?

  • Save North street and Vale street surgery
    If the surgeries close the patients would be dispersed to further away location such as Long Lee and as far as Cottengley 5 to 6 miles away. The transport for unwell elderly patients would be extremely difficult and the waiting list for appointments would be extremely long to these surgeries due to the fact that they would be taking on thousands of patients from north street surgery and vale street surgery. The health and well being for the elderly and people with transport issues is not being taken in to consideration by the NHS. People with communication and transport problems will be be most affected because north street surgery and vale street surgery have a diverse staff to deal with people of all languages and back grounds. Between 20 to 30 people from these surgeries would lose there jobs hard working people trying to help and serve there communities .
