Stop Filibustering in The House Of CommonsWe deserve a certain standard of behaviour and serious protocols in the House of Parliament to ensure the business of running our country is done in an efficient and balanced way. Politicians should stop employing tactics to side rail issues that are important to us, the population of this country.137,187 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Mike Woolfe

Support the 2015 NHS Reinstatement Bill on 11th March - Petition now closed 12 March 2016The NHS is being taken apart. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 abolished the legal duty on the government to provide key NHS services in England, and took marketisation to a new level. We need a law to reinstate that legal duty, stop marketisation and privatisation, and to re-establish accountable public bodies. Without a law, the process now rapidly underway will continue. This is why barrister Peter Roderick and public health Professor Allyson Pollock drafted a NHS Reinstatement Bill in August 2014. This Bill was put out for consultation, and dozens of individuals and organisations responded. The consultation on the proposed NHS Reinstatement Bill ended in December 2014. Revised to take account of the consultation results, the Bill proposes to fully restore the NHS as an accountable public service by: -reinstating the government's duty to provide a comprehensive universal health service, -reversing 25 years of marketization in the NHS by abolishing the purchaser-provider split, -ending contracting, -making the NHS TTIP-proof and -re-establishing public bodies and public services accountable to local communities. You can find out more about the bill here: http://www.nhsbill2015.org/nhs-reinstatement-bill-new-version-published/.624 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Shepherd

Keep Mary Street Parcel Office openMary Street Parcel Office is in a convenient centrally located position. But Royal Mail intend to close the Mary Street Parcel Office and move all parcels to Wearfield, at Sunderland Enterprise Park, near Wessington Way. The Wearfield site it is more difficult to access by public transport. Many people will have to take 2 busses to reach it, and then walk to the new site. This will unfairly affect those without their own transport, as well as those with mobility issues including the elderly and those with disabilities affecting their mobility. The move will result in job losses. 5 out of 10 employees in Mary Street will loose their jobs. Staff are having to attend interviews for the remaining 5 jobs. On top of this there will be an environmental impact as customers are forced to have their parcels redirected rather than picking them up at their own convenience whilst already shopping in town. In order to cut costs Royal Mail are putting profit before people. Please sign the petition to let Royal Mail bosses know that the people of Sunderland demand the service that they are paying for and will not stand for the job losses or environmental impact caused by this unfair and ill considered move.353 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Chris Crozier

NO MEANS TESTING FOR WAR PENSIONSI keep hearing of brave veterans being left with only £10 of their War Pensions after being means tested. The rest of the basic War Pension, after this first £10, is counted as income when the Department for Work and Pensions calculates what level of means-tested benefits to pay and affects veteran's benefits and is, therefore, lost. Benefits affected are such as Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or pension credit. This is basically and morally wrong. The government work out how much you need to live on, but this pension should not be counted. These men and women fought and put their lives on the line to allow us to live safe lives today. Please don't take that well earned pension away from them, which also takes away their faith in this country and make them wonder why they bothered in the first place. Leave them some dignity and keep off their War Pensions.443 of 500 SignaturesCreated by David Craig

Step up Crufts. Zero tolerance of abuse.Crufts claims to be the biggest and best dog show in the world. For this reason it is in a powerful position to send a message to the world that Crufts operates a policy of zero tolerance of abuse and takes appropriate action in every single case to ensure that all dogs are treated with compassion, respect and dignity at all times. I believe that the handler of the Best in Show Winner 2015 did not do this, despite several requests from Crufts judges. Their attempts to address this on their official Facebook page today is not enough. I believe she broke the rules and should be stripped of the title.2,267 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Annie Deeley

save colchester street traders from 400% rent hike and change of locationWe are street traders in Colchester there is a handful of us. Many street traders have worked in the town for decades. We trade seven days a week providing goods for our local community. Over the years street traders have built trust with the community and have been rewarded with the local communities loyal custom. The council has served notice to the traders we now have 20 days to save our businesses ,save our staff from being made unemployed. We have been model tenants contributing tens of thousands to the councils treasury. So why in these times of austerity with public services being cut is the council taking away funds from the public purse. By the council relocating traders from their current established positions and raising rents by 300-400% they are most definitely forcing the hard working street trader out of business. We urge the public to save us as we feel that over the years we have contributed to the local economy and provided a service for the public. This is your local public service that the council would like to take away so please show your support.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jeanette walters

Tick Tock We Want Our ClockThe clock is of LOCAL interest, being part of the bus station that served Weston super Mare since 1929 until it's demolition in the 1980's. The clock was then refurbished by and at the expense of Abbey National Homes with Weston Hoteliers Association and given to the people of Weston super Mare. The clock then stood on stilts on the seafront until the seafront was 'modernised' four years ago. Since then the clock has rotted away in an outside storage yard at Sandford.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nigel Page

Support and protect craft cider and perry production in the UKSmall producers plant and maintain orchards which contain traditional cider apple/perry pear varieties, these will be grubbed up because the production of artisan cider (or perry) will not be economically viable. The large producers will take over and reduce choice to the consumer. Local (and even national) varieties of cider apple will disappear.820 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Hilary Greenland

Stuart Rose report on NHS management PublicationMy petition is to force the Health secretary Jeremy Hunt to publish the Stuart Rose report on NHS management before the general election. This is obviously a politically motivated cover-up as even the Tory head of the health select committee Sarah Wollaston said ” his department’s refusal to publish a damning report on NHS management before the general election was not acceptable”. Sarah Wollaston, a former GP who took over the chairmanship of the committee last year, said “it was not reasonable or right that a report by former Marks & Spencer boss and Tory peer Stuart Rose, which was commissioned by Hunt a year ago and completed in December, was being kept from the public”. The only reason for not publishing is that that Rose’s report is strongly critical of management systems in the NHS – findings that are potentially damaging for the Tories before an election in which the NHS is centre stage. The NHS is one thing that most people believe must be protect from the private sector and the Tory’s.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Mason
