Lianne was not only my cousin but like a sister to me and I don't want her death to be in vain this has to stop. How many more people are going to lose their lives due to senseless killings?

As a black person this infuriates me and appuals me and I find it disgusting but not surprising regarding the polices treatment of black people. We entrust the police to keep our streets safe not viciously target BAME PEOPLE, I find in today's society this is appalling and needs to change. The government needs to find better was of conducting this. I don't want my sisters or cousins generation to experience this.

Current research shows that in U.K., more than 62% of clinical psychologist report having experienced mental health difficulties at some point in their career. With the implementation of the SCoPED frame of work the counselling and psychotherapy industry in the U.K. is one step closer to being regulated and receiving the deserved attention. In a society where mental health is beginning to be appreciated in all sectors and aspects of one's life, it is irresponsible that regulator organisations, which are part of the SCoPED frame of work, such as the BACP, ACC, HGI & NCS, facilitate trainees and "registered/accredited members" who are not undergoing personal therapy as an integrated part of their training and professional development; to practice in paid client work obtained through directories managed by the said organisations. Such can be verified by reading the SCoPED PowerPoint (slide 14) frame of work published ON THE WEBSITES of those organisations mentioned. When it comes to ethical and safe therapy offered to vulnerable people, there should be no buts or ifs. Clients of any kind have next to no understanding of what constitutes a professional counsellor, nor should they be held responsible for doing so. Counsellors and organisations who profit from the service they provide are entirely responsible and, above all should be making sure of doing no harm. Many courses accredited by those organisations mentioned do not integrate personal therapy in their training, placing students and potential clients at great risk. People should join my campaign to support a safer and more regulated industry. Supervisors would know the risks involved and should back me up to protect their supervise. Institutions benefitting from the high cost of the training they offer are obliged to provide an ethical frame of reference to their students before they reach the public. Regulators like the UKCP and BPS, who fortunately require personal therapy, should help to set the standards that they themselves believe in and sign up for the petition.

Wirral, St Helens, Knowsley and Sefton Councils have now committed to paying their care workers the foundation living wage. This leaves Liverpool and Halton Council as the only regional Councils within Merseyside who have not committed to this action. As a result, care workers in these areas are being paid as little as the National Minimum Wage, which does not reflect the importance of the work they carry out in supporting their service users. We want Liverpool to be a place where our service users receive the highest quality of care, and paying care workers a fair wage is a step to ensuring this. The poor pay that many care workers receive is causing specialised staff to leave the sector, or move to other surrounding Councils where they are able to receive a higher wage. This is unfair to the staff and the service users within Liverpool, and they deserve better. A commitment to paying the foundation living wage will be a step in the right direction to solving the crisis within social care that currently exists in our city.

School transport is vital on so many levels. It ensures school choice, it allows schools to not be overcrowded through appropriate allocation of pupils, it keeps cars off the road, it allows safe transport where schools may not have safe traffic patterns to promote walking, it enables disabled students to attend school, and many other benefits. OCC’s recent letter to parents of children on the “Spare Seat” scheme (itself a misnomer as the seats are not spare but well utilized) is not only highly opaque in its suggested changes, but puts under threat an effective transport scheme. Everyone in Oxfordshire has the potential to be impacted by this. From more cars on the road (with more pollution and traffic jams at rush hour) due to less bus transport, to children unable to easily get to school, to increased costs for the provision that remains, increased and more efficient provision is vital to all.

The UK government has made provisions for Cost of Living Payments to assist those on certain benefits, including Pension Credit1. However, there’s an estimated £1.7 billion in Pension Credit that goes unclaimed each year, which could significantly help eligible pensioners2. Some pensioners face challenges due to frozen state pension payments if they move abroad, which can lead to financial hardship3. Comparison with Europe: Reports suggest that several countries in Europe provide more generous state pensions than the UK4. The UK state pension system is often compared with Ireland, Denmark, and the Netherlands due to similar flat-rate pension structures4. Impact of Recent UK Budget: The recent budget has seen changes to the pension lifetime allowance and annual allowance rate, which could encourage older workers to stay in the job market5. However, these changes may not directly benefit all pensioners, especially those who are already retired and not contributing to a pension scheme5. The State Pension will increase by 8.5% in April 2024, aligning with the average wage increase, and the Pension Credit standard minimum guarantee will also see an 8.5% increase It's important because many pensioners will enter the tax paying bracket in the years to come and change is needed

This is yet another case of an egregious defamation by a government official being picked up by the taxpayer. Make Michelle Donelan pay the settlement fee back to the taxpayer.

It is important so that students can afford to live in suitable and safe accommodation at a price that they can easily afford and not have to worry about being able to afford rent on top of the struggle of studying as well as to be able to afford their groceries on top of this.
