Newcastle has a proud culture of welcoming new arrivals, and we believe our diversity makes our city stronger and more vibrant. We’re calling on the U.K. Government to drop this discriminatory and inhumane policy completely, and particularly for LGBTQI+ people.

I feel that anyone who has a disabled or blind person in their family or amongst their friend will be able to identify with these problems and wouldn't want them to suffer.

A number of those declaring their candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party are doing so on a platform of tax cuts. None so far have declared the impact on public services and what services they propose to cut. It is essential that they are transparent so the public understand the consequences should they be elected.

Take Park Home owners for instance. They are mostly over the age of 50 and are retired; many with health problems and have moved to a Park Home site for some peace and quiet. Many have to buy their energy, particularly electricity, from the site owner. Site owners have commercial accounts and often have many sites and will not be part of the EBSS (Energy Bill Support Scheme ) Many residents in rented accommodation are in a similar position if they do not pay for their energy directly to a supplier but are charged by their landlord based on meter readings. Leasehold properties who are run by a management company or directly via the Freeholder often have a similar system of paying for energy through their service charge and do not own a meter. This section of the population is large and does contain a large number of people who desperately need this help and will at the moment get nothing at all.

This issue is close to my heart as I live on the A41 near to the crossing and have seen the difficulties with this crossing for all the residents who live either side. The pavements are busy with cyclists using half and sometimes going at speed, which decreases the space required to keep at a safe distance away from the kerb at the crossing. Sometimes the rain collects beside the crossing and cars are driving through the puddles at speed, causing pedestrians to get soaked! It is hazardous and needs to be reviewed and improved as soon as possible before there is an accident. There is also an issue of the crossing not having an audible beeping sound when safe to cross, it takes a long time to cross safely and is wholly inadequate when compared to all other crossings on main roads and busy dual carriageways.

It is important because resigned Prime Ministers should not benefit from the trappings of high office after they have resigned.

If Boris Johnson is appointed to the House of Lords, despite a catalogue of improper behaviour, it will bring that institution into disrepute.

Every child matters and every child deserves a high quality education

There is no better investment in our future generations.

Steve Wright in the afternoon is the backbone of the daily BBC radio 2. It's an abomination that this show is to be axed after nearly 24 years of broadcasting it. It's all ages that listen to it and tune in just for this show. The ratings are very high, why break something that's not broken. People are just so upset with this decision and would like it overturned.

In Congleton Constituency, data from The Rivers Trust revealed that in 2021, there were 1477 raw sewage spills which occurred for a total of 6206 hours (equivalent to 258 days, or over 8 months of continuous discharge). Nationally, only 14% of UK rivers meet Good Ecological Status and 75% pose a serious risk to human health. We deserve better.
