• Launch an independent inquiry into the UKs response to Covid
    In the 6 months since Covid cases have soared, our NHS is on it’s Knees and 50,000 more people have died. The UK now has one of the highest death rates in the world, higher even than Trumps America. This global pandemic is far from over. New variants are being discovered around the world, so understanding the transmission of this virus is paramount. Boris Johnsons government have failed time and again to halt the spread of Covid, this week we have seen the highest number of deaths recorded in 1 day. In Prime Minister’s questions, (20/01/21) Ed Davy MP again asked the PM for an enquiry but was refused. To learn the lessons of what’s gone so devastatingly wrong under the leadership of Boris Johnson, we ask for the launch an independent enquiry this Spring 2021.

  • Change Jobseeker's Allowance qualifying criteria
    I had to give up my job in October 2020 due to the intolerable stress and bullying. I have worked all my adult life other than when I was a stay at home mother for four years and when I cared full time for my Mother, who has dementia for almost four years. These years are credited for NI towards my pension. But they are not considered as qualifying for Jobseeker's Allowance. I have not been able to get a job yet and have no income, despite paying NI for more than 35 years. This feels like a gross injustice

  • Driver Awareness courses should include Cycle Awareness
    2018 records show that 99 cyclists were killed and 4106 seriously injured. From personal experience, many drivers, including while on speed awareness courses often express hostility towards cyclists. Given the vulnerable position of cyclists to vehicles, driver hostility is irrational and potentially life threating for cyclists. Educating drivers is more important than increasing punishment.

  • Motorcycle training
    People are out work as their cbt have expired and the government have suspended all training. Also all pupils that theories have expired have got to start from scratch as their theories have expired so they loose their cbt and module one tests.

  • Stop Government from lowering our food standards
    The government has repeatedly vowed not to allow the import of chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef, but has refused to sign those pledges into law. The House of Lords put forward amendments to the trade bill that would have required future trade agreements to be scrutinised by parliament, with a view to ensuring standards are retained, but the key amendment fell on Tuesday night by 353 votes to 277. Campaigners said the new post-Brexit arrangements for food imports and food production standards in the UK would allow ministers to make sweeping changes to existing food safety regulations without consultation. Many products could be affected. For instance, while the government has said it will not allow chlorinated chicken, meat can be washed in a variety of other substances that have similar effects: peracetic acid, cetylpyridinium chloride, acidified sodium chlorite, or organic acid rinses. Chicken treated with bleach and similar substances can retain some pathogens, according to research, and campaigners also fear that such treatment is used to disguise infections caused by animals being kept in poor conditions that would be illegal in this country. Did you know? Around 60 billion chickens are reared for meat each year. 40 billion of these are raised in huge, crowded sheds, or cramped cages. They are kept in dismal conditions and suffer painful heart, skin, lung and bone problems and stress. Chicken is one of the world’s most popular meats. Between 1996-2016, demand for chicken meat grew almost 40% in the European Union, 89% in China and 183% in India. A factory-farmed chicken lives an average of 42 days. In the wild, chickens can live for several years. Many factory-grown chickens gain more than 50g in weight every day. However, their immune systems, organs and legs cannot keep up, so they suffer a range of physical problems as a result. Meat chickens are still babies when they’re slaughtered. Due to increased growth rate and shortened life span, chickens bred for meat may look fully-grown despite still being young. Only specific breeds of chicken are bred for meat. They’re genetically selected for their ability to reach ‘slaughter weight’” as fast as possible. Around 2,000 meat chickens are slaughtered every second around the world. Many meat chickens live in a space smaller than an A4 piece of paper. By the time they’re ready for slaughter, there’s barely space for them to move. Chickens love ‘dust-bathing’. They dig shallow holes to jump in, then cover themselves in dry dust and dirt. It’s an important natural behaviour, keeps feathers in good condition, and removes parasites. Factory-grown chickens are commonly prevented from dust-bathing and carrying out other important behaviours, such as pecking, scratching and perching. 71% of people never when ask where the chicken is from when buying it at a fast-food outlet. This insight came from our recent survey of 12,000 people. The above facts were taken from Microsoft News, The Guardian and World Animal Protection.org website.

  • Freeze Council Tax rates during the pandemic
    In current times, people are struggling to make ends meet. Jobs are being lost by the thousands as more and more businesses fold under the colossal weight of financial ruin caused by the virus plaguing the world. No council should be allowed to reap more money from their tax payers whilst the future of the workplace, high street and the economy are so unstable.

  • UNPAID CARERS EXCLUDED FROM COVID-19 VACCINE PLAN
    In most cases the carer is the patient's lifeline. This includes all care, bathing, washing, hairdresser, cleaner and all round helper. Taking the patient (usually a family member) to the GP's, dentists, clinic or hospital for out-patient appointments. This means mixing with the general public at a time when advice is stay at home. A Carer CANNOT stay at home, not everyone can shop online. A Carer has to go out, there is no alternative.

  • Apple - Discount for Parents
    Covid and lockdowns has impacted the economy whilst parents have to ensure their children are educated from home. Many parents have seen their income shrinking but their costs escalating. The government has a big drive to provide laptops for children at home. Many schools have opted to provide iPad's to the children in school which they get an educational discount on when they purchase it. The children are forced to use these even if they have a laptop or iPad of their own at home. They are required to take these iPad's to home and use in school but if the iPad is damaged, lost or stolen they force the parents to replace it with a new one. The school doesn't replace it themselves with their discount and a parent is forced to pay the full price for it. The education minister needs to ensure that the children's education needs are met whilst also ensuring that parents is not unfairly targeted with additional unnecessary costs. Apple's policy currently does not support parents in K-12 situations and is unfairly discriminatory. This needs to change immediately. Microsoft is doing the right thing by providing this discount. Let's change Apple's policy by standing together and demanding a change. Please sign this petition so that we can help thousands of students and parents and get the government to change this profiteering by Apple on parents.

  • Low letter box back breakers
    Working as a post person for close to twenty year . I have frequently seen and heard of colleagues with back problems . They have eventually ended up retiring early on medical grounds. We walk around ten mile per day and deliver to between 500- 1000 doors a day. Depending on the housing areas. The new builds of housing estates are adding front doors that are inches off the floor. The new brushes behind the letter boxes make it harder to post anything through. This may sound trivial to most but it is quite serious to the people who are dealing with this on a daily basses . This petition is to stop new doors being manufactured with low letter boxes .
