• Call for Middlesex University to implement an Ethical Investment Policy
    After seeing that Middlesex complicity invests an approximate of almost £2,000 into Israeli companies that fuel violent acts that are illegal under humanitarian law, we were alarmed to discover that our university does not have such a policy in place. A university that prides itself with 'inclusivity' and 'values-driven culture', should have such a policy in place, as where are the values in funding unethical companies?

  • Give young people more hope for a home
    Young people are becoming more and more unlikely to own their own home due to the lack of affordable housing and the high prices of these so called 'affordable' houses. This is increasing youth homelessness and driving those who do own a home into poverty. 121,000 16-24 year olds were homeless or at risk of homeless in the UK in 2020, this is not acceptable and action is needed from the government to prevent this figure from rising even further as time goes on.

  • Sign language for all children in School.
    It's important because I feel in sign language is essential for us all to learn and when your a child to learn sign language would become second nature. . I am hearing but I can't sign. I feel like this makes the deaf community isolated especially in a work environment. If sign language was as important in schools as Maths and English I think this would be amazing.

  • Feminine hygiene: Make menstrual products free
    The study, commissioned by Menstrual cup brand Intimina, found a woman spends £10.24 per month on menstrual products adding up to £4,916 during an average reproductive lifetime – 12 to 52. Yet, adult women also suffer from period poverty and the study found that half of the 2,000 18 to 55-year-old women surveyed reported experiencing it. Period poverty in the UK is not a new thing, but it’s something that has come to the forefront of conversation over the past couple of years – starting with activist As well as leaving women out of pocket, menstrual products are also harming the environment. Women in the UK use an average of 11,000 disposable menstrual products during their reproductive lifetime. This results in tampons, pads and panty liners producing more than 200,000 tonnes of waste per year, which can take centuries to biodegrade.

  • Free Travel PCR Tests for NHS and Health & Social Care Workers
    As frontline keyworkers all NHS and Health & Social Care Workers have faced unprecedented challenges throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. They have placed themselves and their families at risk to provide care and support to their patients, residents and service users. The least they can expect is to be in a position to use their routine NHS PCR test for travel purposes thus preventing them for incurring the cost of private PCR Testing.

  • Introduce A 30 mph Speed Limit On Rural Single Track Lanes
    Rural areas typically contain narrow single track roads (one car width) with passing places, such as gateways or pull in spaces, at intermittent and undefined locations. In nearly all cases the national speed limit of 60 mph applies on these roads and this is the speed which typically will show up on a satnav system. For visitors to an area or those who are not used to driving in such lanes, this can be misleading. And for those who regularly navigate such areas, complacency lead to higher speeds, with the 60mph limit being a convenient excuse in driving at speeds which are not suitable for the environment. Such lanes might have high hedges, blind summits and sharp bends, causing lack of visibility, not to mention unexpected obstructions or the skid risk of mud on the road. Rural lanes are frequently used by local pedestrians, runners, hikers, cyclists, horse riders, by farmers for moving livestock, tractors, or similar large agricultural machinery, between fields, and by wildlife, such as deer. Typically there is minimal refuge from vehicles for other users and not every driver is considerate in how they approach a scenario. For multiple vehicles meeting in these lanes, either one or other vehicle will be required to reverse, often some distance, to an available passing place. Hence in these range of complex scenarios, a 60mph speed limit in single track lanes is both inappropriate and significantly increases the risk of death or severe injury to people (both pedestrian and drivers), or animals. According to the RAC Foundation, 60 per cent of all fatal motoring accidents occur on country roads and an average of three deaths per day. The Government Ministers for Transport are asked to consider amending the national speed limit on single track roads to a safer lower speed to a maximum of 30 mph.
