  • Open Safe Corridor for Palestinian Refugees in Gaza to come to the UK
    As one of many citizens of the United Kingdom urge the UK government to take immediate action towards establishing a safe corridor for Palestinians in Gaza to seek refuge, while also securing their right to return when a two-state solution is agreed upon. We condemn the continuous human rights violations endured by the Palestinian population at the hands of the Israeli government forces and Hamas, and believe it is imperative to address this pressing issue. The Need for a Safe Corridor: Similar to the Ukraine scheme there is an urgent necessity for the UK government to establish a safe corridor for Palestinian civilians in Gaza to be able to access a safe haven away from the current war where 1000's of innocent people have already been killed. Key Issues: A. Humanitarian Crisis: The war led by Israel which has destroyed living conditions, limited access to clean water, healthcare, education, and food, has necessitated the need to create an urgent need for a safe corridor in order to safeguard the lives and well-being of innocent civilians. Already 1000's have died, mainly children. B. Protection of Civilian Lives: Already 1000's of people, many of them children have been killed. The constant threat of violence and military operations disproportionately affect innocent Palestinians, including women, children, and the elderly. A safe corridor would provide an escape route for those seeking refuge. C. International Responsibility: As a humanitarian global leader, the UK has a moral obligation to protect vulnerable populations and uphold human rights. Establishing a safe corridor would demonstrate the UK's commitment to justice and peace. D. Guaranteeing Right of Return: The importance of guaranteeing the right of Palestinians to return to their ancestral homeland is crucial because: a. Historical Context: The right of return is a fundamental principle upheld by international law and numerous United Nations resolutions. Palestinians deserve the right to return to their homes when a viable two-state solution is agreed upon. b. Dignity and Justice: Denying Palestinians the right to return undermines their dignity, perpetuates injustice, and perpetuates the cycle of displacement and suffering. It is crucial to address this issue in order to achieve a just and lasting solution.

  • Turn HS2 route into a wildlife highway
    Any building/ vehicle yards already built can be turned into enroute playgrounds and exercise areas and the government along with wildlife charities can make this a positive landscape feature that would enhance property values and create a wildlife corridor as well as a route to complete charity and well-being events that link cities and communities. We can’t replicate what was lost but we can replace for the future.

  • Make large multinationals lift the lid on their taxes
    The vast majority of multinational enterprises that operate in the UK refuse to disclose how much corporation tax they pay here or in any other country. Which means that we have no way of telling whether the likes of Amazon and Facebook are paying their fair share of taxes. What we need is a breakdown of exactly how much income, profit and tax is being generated – otherwise known as “public country-by-country reporting” (pCbCR). The more transparency we have, the less likely multinationals are to stash profits away in tax havens. Across the globe, 35% of multinational profits (US$1 trillion) are artificially shifted to tax havens each year, leading to a 10% reduction in corporate income tax revenue. Within this, the UK was found to suffer a staggering £64bn of profit shifting, leading to an estimated £12.5bn reduction in corporation tax revenues. A small, but growing, number of responsible enterprises voluntarily embrace the need for such transparency and say what they pay with pride - such as Fair Tax Mark accredited businesses. Furthermore, pCbCR will soon be mandatory for large multinationals operating across the European Union, with similar requirements recently announced in Australia also. It is now time for the UK to require similar action. Especially as in 2016, MPs from all sides of Parliament voted in support of such action being taken – although the Government has, to date, refused to enact legislation. So we say: don’t delay – it’s time to #ShowMeTheMoney and for all multinationals to lift the lid on the taxes they pay in the UK and around the world.

  • Make RNLI the 4th emergency service
    We all know that this service does amazing work, but during a time of Financial crisis the people who would donate to keep this service running are unable to do so and therefore now is the time to make the change to a nationally funded service the same as the Unutes States of America.

  • Call for a ceasefire in Gaza
    What Hamas did was evil but it does not justify the genocide of innocent civilians. People whose families, homes, livelihoods are being obliterated. What is happening is wrong and Britain needs to say so on the world stage and not allow these actions of terror and destruction to continue.

  • UNFREEZE THE INCOME TAX THRESHOLDS!
    As well as squeezing middle-earners, it’s cruel, because it hits those at the bottom – pensioners and the low-paid – the hardest. Many pensioners will be dragged into the tax bracket for the first time, paying tax on incomes below the official poverty line. Much of the recent increase in the State Pension is simply being snatched back in tax! Many of those affected are pensioners who have followed government advice and saved into a small private pension, only to find they are now just above the threshold for Pension Credit. The better-off may have to forgo some luxuries, but we have to forgo necessities, choosing between eating and heating. More people will need to use food banks, and more old people will die during the cold winter months. Punitive taxation of low incomes is counter-productive for the government, as it deters people from saving for their old age. It also discourages the unemployed and those on benefits from entering the jobs market, as taking low-paid jobs may mean they actually end up worse off. Neither is what the government professes to want, yet their current policy has precisely that effect! The government are shooting themselves in the foot, as they are treating the Electorate like idiots, thinking we wouldn’t notice the extra tax bill! And meanwhile they have just removed the cap on bankers’ bonuses….. Here are a few other things the government could do to help the less well-off: 1. Reintroduce a 10% starting income tax band, which we’ve had in the past. 2. Restore the Age Allowance for pensioners, so cruelly stolen by George Osborne in his 2012 Budget (whilst lowering the top rate of tax!). 3. Uprate the thresholds for Pension Credit in line with inflation, as they have done with Universal Credit. 4. Increase the Warm Home Discount by more than the measly £10 we got last year. I ask you to support this Petition and spread the word to your friends. The Government MUST unfreeze the tax thresholds, especially the basic rate, or they will forfeit our support at the ballot box!
