• DWP STOP THE WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS OF UNPAID CARERS
    Carers provide over £162bn in savings to the UK economy and now carers are being targeted by the DWP for prosecution relating to overpayments that the DWP could have stopped. Dear Prime Minister, We, the undersigned call upon the government of the United Kingdom to immediately halt all existing and further investigations by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) into erroneous claims for Carers Allowance resulting in overpayments. The DWP has the facilities to be able to determine whether a claimant is being overpaid within weeks of the overpayment being made, so why is it taking this public body, years to detect overpayments. As you have already discussed in previous sittings in the House of Parliament and may have read in both local and national newspapers, carers are being scrutinised by the DWP, personal finances are being looked at, and law-abiding citizens are being convicted of fraud due to errors made by the DWP. These convictions are being used to prosecute “victims” of these overpayments for the DWP to use the Proceeds of Crimes Act to recover the overpayment, meaning that claimants are losing their right to family inheritance and life savings. The responsibility lies with the Department for Work and Pensions to notify claimants of the overpayments as soon as they are aware that the overpayment has occurred, this is fundamental in business as according to ACAS, so why is it not compulsory for the DWP to abide by these rules, and why are the DWP not asking persons who have been overpaid to repay the money at a rate that is suitable for them? The Department for Work and Pensions is a ministerial department that is overseen by the UK Government, we call upon you to act in the best interests of the public, to stop these proceedings and assist in the recovery of the public funds without turning pensioners, the vulnerable and the weak into criminals. Thank you for your time Prime Minister. On Behalf of carers across the UK.

  • Stop MPs Heating Allowance
    It is very important to show fairness across the board and across the country!  If the government does this it will be fairer and match the people in their struggle to make ends meet. The MPs in Britain need to look at all the perks and benefits they get as well as a very good salary.   People are paying extremely high prices for their energy bills.   The MPs should be paying the same if they truly want to make the country more democratic and fair.

  • Pensioner Rebellion
    This government has only been in power a matter of weeks and already they are breaking election promises. They are supposed to govern us, not lie to us and attack the vulnerable in society to fill any budget shortages of there own doing.

  • Tax Payers Money
    This Week Huw Edwards, Long standing BBC presenter pleaded guilty to several making child pornography. For many months the BBC was aware of the investigations into Mr Edwards activities. They also continued to pay him his full salary including a pay rise from License Payers funding instead or the honourable action of sacking him instantly. As a license payer I would like all other License Payers to demand Mr Edwards repay all salary from stopping to work. Because a man doing as he has done does not deserve to continue to benefit from the lucrative lifestyle funded from License payers that has taken place

  • Labour's theft from UK Pensioners
    Within weeks of being voted into power, after 14 years of Tory brutality, your Chancellor has announced the Government's intention to deprive pensioners of the pityful Winter Fuel Payment. This is a betrayal of the hopes of some of the poorest working people in the UK. Age Concern and other groups have condemned this decision. We urge you to cancel this action and demonstrate that Pensioners have your support.

  • STOP the Scrapping of winter fuel allowance
    The death of pensioners may be in the new Labour government's interest to reduce the pension payouts totally, but refugees get free food accommodation  and heating without having paid into the system and pensioners who have paid will starve and freeze to death.

  • STOP BULLYING
    Other people should join as nobody wants to see somebody suffer due to being bullied I think there should be more support offered to victims of bullying and schools should be doing a lot more to stop bullying. If people joined my campaign we could all walk together to try prevent bullying and hopefully try stop it all together this would lead to a healthy,happier future for generations to come.

  • Bus pass for pensioners who turn 60 in England
    Because its unfair that we in England can't have a buss pass until we 65 when everyone else gets one in the country we should be treated the same as other pensioners some pensioners are more well off than others and can get out better than other people you can go all over the country if you want to and see family and friends as some pensioners don't drive

  • STANDING CHARGES
    It is an ongoing disgrace and action needs to be taken urgently! People are struggling as it is, with all the other bills they have to pay every month. The energy companies probably take the most. Many parents and elderly, as well as the infirm across the country, have to decide every day. Do I have enough money to put the heating on for an hour or two, or decide if I can afford to put food on the table? To decide to eat or heat in this country in this day and age is nothing more than a disgrace! We have just had fourteen years of heartache and depression. We all need some help, some more than others especially now! Hopefully, we can get now under the new Labour government!!!

  • Ban sales of Crossbows until suitable licensing is in place
    It’s important to make those in power aware of how easily crossbows can be purchased. From the likes of Amazon and other retailers there are no barriers to buy crossbows. They are a lethal weapon and if in the wrong hands can kill someone. Permits and age laws need to created and in the meantime take crossbows off the market.
