End the Squeeze on Universal Credit.The Government appears determined to find new ways to squeeze the poor to give their rich friends a cut in their taxes. Universal Credit is squeezing individuals into food banks or into debt as they try and feed and cloth themselves while this government finds ways to cut taxes. > We have half the population in fuel poverty. > We have wages that have fallen behind inflation for the last 12 years! Those who are forced to ask for help get a pittance from the state forcing people into debt and despair while the government tries to find new ways to provide tax cuts to the rich. Those who try and earn their way out of the situation find they loose 55p out of every £1 they are paid even though they have to pay to travel for work. Once the children have flown the nest there is no allowance before this happens. As a result families see family allowance go, the loss of maintenance from ex spouses and the loss of the dispensation for a person who is earning a pittance on part time work. If the children remain at home and are also unemployed, this drop can amount to several hundred of pounds a week in their cumulative income. Why tax someone on poverty wages 55% and yet tax high earners only 40%? Those workers who struggle to get full time work can find that the cost of travel and increasing transport costs can prevent them escaping and entering the world of work. If they can only find low paid work, the earnings less the costs to get to work means they can end up paying to work. If someone is an unpaid carer for an adult family member, for example, they are still expected to look for work. We should not be forcing people on benefits to pay to work rather than work for pay. Slavery was thankfully abolished, why are the Tories trying to reintroduce the idea. Do you think its right to put the squeeze on those in receipt of Universal Credit to fund cuts in taxes? Do you believe that we need to help others less fortunate than ourselves? Or common humanity? Why should the poor fund the richer getting richer? Please end this and ensure that those on Universal Credit have the means to survive.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by COLIN POTTER

Better education for SEN childrenA lot of SEN children have low esteem and no confidence as they feel like they are failing every year. They fall behind their peers as there is a lack of funding to give them the support they need. Also as a parent it is hard to prove to them the progress they have achieved as the school report year in year out tells them they are working below expected target. But for some of these children they are working to a target that they can achieve so why is the expected level not theirs and not that of their peers. My daughter has been told she can't do level 1 art as she can't progress to level 2 as she doesn't have GCSE maths and English, even though she is good at art. The year before that told she can't do hairdressing as she didn't have these GCSE's! She can not do what she wants as the system doesn't provide and won't give her a chance. She is fortunate to be doing work skills which is designed to get her into meaningful work, but, unlike other children her age, she doesn't get much choice in the matter. Please sign this petition to try and get a better education system with more functional skills at school level to help these young people more to gain their full potential, make them feel empowered and valued from day one. Stop letting the system write them off. Make them asses them in what they can do with a more tailored curriculum for those that can't access the current curriculum for what ever reason.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Vine

Youth facilities in Maldon DistrictThe government's line is they are saying they will penalise children for anti social behaviour, but what are they doing to find out children turn to anti social behaviour? I questioned our local M.P. Sir John Whittingdale at his reselection in May. No answer was his reply. I suggested the following reasons why they were turning to anti social behaviour: - One or both parents trying to make ends meet in this economic crisis - Teachers are not allowed to discipline children - Too much violence in online gaming, shooting and stabbing the characters with no consequences. - Too easily accessible recreational drugs. My answer is, I have bought a lot of play items to hopefully set up a youth club. And also offer this equipment to be taken to other parishes after advertising days and dates for the children to come and enjoy themselves. Why hasn't Maldon District Council or Essex County Council done anything for the children during the recent summer holidays? We need to help the children and the future adults of this world to learn to respect others, to call for and expect better facilities and projects for our children. This subject is important because it will teach our children to respect others through example, to learn how to communicate with other children, to encourage them to come out of their room, and get more involved, as well as getting some fresh air. To get them off of continuously sitting on their online gaming, and watching unsuitable items that are not suitable for them to watch.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anne Beale

Replace Liz Kendall as Shadow DWP Minister.Every day there's another 'accident' on our railways. How many of these 'accidents' are suicides??? Is the news about all the suicides happening daily (as a result of the DWP's staff and assessors happy sadism towards human beings), being deliberately kept quiet to hide these suicides? Only this week, it was reported on the news of a Policeman being killed on Britain's rail lines. The side text was he was helping a man - in distress! The Conservative Government's policy on the disabled is to starve them to death with their 'Albiet Mach Frei' policy, a policy that has been condemned by the United Nations, and the Conservative government has refused to attend a meeting with the United Nations UNHCR this month to respond to the United Nations investigators report of continuous violations of the sick and disabled people of the UK by the Conservative government's continuous violations of International Human Rights laws that protect violations against sick and disabled people! The Conservative Party aren't going to change their policy and are trying to hide the evidence (figures) of the deaths the DWP has caused; Rumoured to be in the region of approximately 154,000 people! Our fellow British citizens! Labour, if elected must stop the killing and stop the assessments, the harassment of sick and disabled people! And it won't happen with Liz Kendall, who has continuously defended the Tories welfare reforms! This country has HAD ENOUGH of this callousness and we do not want it continued under a Tory lite agenda under Starmer or Kendall. This country, its people are ENTITLED to a different form of politics other than the cruelty of Conservative cruel ideology!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simon Les Bas

Speeding traffic through Grants Houses, Horden.If anybody wishes to cross the road they have to be able to judge the speed of any oncoming vehicles, if they cannot then it`s a matter of luck if they make it to the other side, that`s a hard way to learn if you get it wrong!8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MR.RONALD SMITH
