Cliffden in Teignmouth, Devon, the Lauriston in Weston-super-Mare and Windermere Manor in the Lake District. These hotels are constantly used by blind people and their families and they are essential for these families to have relaxing holidays as they can meet similar people with these disabilities and who understand there requirements and needs.

This is pollution of a most destructive kind. Once it goes down the drain and ends up in the ocean it causes untold damage to organisms ranging from plankton to birds and sea mammals. Waitrose recently announced that they are going to stop stocking ANY products with microbeads in them. All other supermarkets should follow their great example and, not only stop using them in their own products, but stop stocking them all together.

It's important because the police are too gung-ho when they are chasing thieves in cars and too many innocent people have lost their lives. More will lose their lives if this isn't stopped. A car is not worth the price of lives that can be lost.

This is important because totalitarianism spreads like a cancer. Its many many little things that add up to one big problem in the end.

Right now, one in ten women lose their job when they have a baby here in the UK. This isn't acceptable. Pregnant women and mothers now face more discrimination at work than they did a decade ago according to research from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). Here's what the Women and Equalities Committee recommended should become law: 1.The Government should publish a strong, specific communications plan for the awareness-raising and attitude-changing work it has agreed to undertake 2.Employers should have to do an individual risk assessment when they are informed that a woman who works for them is pregnant, has given birth in the past six months or is breastfeeding. 3.The right to paid time off for antenatal appointments should be extended to temporary and people on zero-hours contracts. All maternity rights should be reviewed to make them more equal regardless of the type of working contract you have. 4.The Government should increase protection from redundancy so that new and expectant mothers can be made redundant only in specified circumstances. (Paragraph 70) 5.The Government should review the three-month time limit for bringing a tribunal claim in maternity and pregnancy discrimination cases and should substantially reduce tribunal fees. 6.The Government should monitor access to free, good-quality, one-to-one advice on pregnancy and maternity discrimination issues and assess whether additional resources are required. Maternity rights should protect every woman in the UK. They should protect us from suffering discrimination in the workplace, due to pregnancy or maternity. They should make sure we aren’t passed over for promotion due to being on maternity leave, or that our employers block us from accruing any holiday whilst we’re off work. Let's make sure they our maternity laws are changed for the better, to protect all women.

Microbeads are polluting the oceans, and poisoning wildlife. Waitrose recently announced that they are going to stop stocking ANY products with microbeads in them. ASDA should follow their great example and, not only stop using them in their own products, but stop stocking them all together.

Carers should be at least paid the equivalent of an office worker and not the minimum wage. When a decent wage is being paid then the quality of care will rise and staff will be retained. The treatment of those in care will improve ten fold. The care industry is in crisis with under-paid and over-worked tired care staff looking after vulnerable people and it is time that these people are recognised for the jobs that they do .

When someone goes to prison they aren’t the only one to be punished: their children and loved ones are also punished by being separated from their father, mother, husband or wife. When a foreign national goes to prison for more than 12 months the law says they must be automatically deported at the end of their sentence, meaning that they get punished more than twice over for their crime. But worse than that, their families (who haven’t committed any crime) then face a stark choice between being separated forever from their loved one or being forced into exile from their country of birth and being separated from the rest of their family and friends here. My Story: My husband was in a road accident and was devastated when he learned that he was responsible for someone’s death. This resulted in him receiving a 5-year prison sentence and, because he is a foreigner, he will be deported at the end of his time in prison. I, too, was very sad when I learned that a person had died. I was distressed when my husband went to prison and I had to learn how to live without him. But now I am feeling anguish at having to either face a lifetime of being separated from him or to move abroad and be thousands of miles away from my family, friends and roots here in my country of birth, unable to afford the flight home to visit because flights in his country cost a fortune relative to salaries there (even assuming I can get a job given that I don’t speak the language well enough). This law was brought in because it is Parliament’s “view” that the deportation of foreign criminals is in the public interest. But is this really the case? This “view” is not backed up by any evidence. It may be comforting to think that we are safer if we deport foreign criminals but this is not the case. Aside from the fact that we may be at risk from those people any time we travel abroad, any public interest is cancelled out by the fact that at the same time as deporting foreign criminals we are also receiving British criminals deported back to the U.K. from abroad, thus punishing even more innocent families who have had nothing to do with their family member’s crime. Even more importantly, figures published by the Ministry of Justice show that ex-offenders who live with their family are less likely to re-offend than those who don’t live with their families, and those who are homeless are more likely to re-offend. (1) Deportation results in separation from family and can mean homelessness – in other words, deportation is actually increasing the risk to the public of re-offending. So aside from the inhumanity of this law in punishing the innocent, it is actually CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Thank you for reading this. If you are signing this because your own loved one is facing deportation, please try to include your own story, however brief.

Chester has a unique Roman Ampitheatre and a rich cultural Roman heritage. The ampitheatre is the only one of it's kind in the country . Don't let the Council lease it so it can be built over ! Children visit the site for cultural purposes and it is an asset that cannever be replaced

Workers' rights in this country have been hard-won, but Brexit now gives the Government the chance to strip workers in Britain of their protections and rights at work. We can't allow that to happen. The Workers' Rights (Maintenance of EU Standards) Bill seeks to ensure that there is a floor of workers' rights below which no contract or employer can sink. This applies to rights such as protecting workers from redundancy if their company changes hands, health and safety rules and measures to protect employee representatives against detrimental treatment for carrying out their role. Please sign to support this bill and write to your MP to ask them to do the same. Draft letter here- http://www.melanieonn.co.uk/10_minute_rule
