Non-invasive saliva tests are available and can be purchased privately for a fee. Young children (and older children/adults with a range of other conditions) can find invasive swabbing incredibly traumatic. Parents are now less likely to take their children for a PCR nasal swab as children can find it so traumatic and consequently parents (particularly when alone) can find it challenging to get an accurate swab. Please support us in our petition to provide saliva testing for coronavirus instead of the invasive nasal swab for young children and those older that require it. More children would then be tested resulting in less traumatic experiences for them and more accurate results to protect the wider population. Why, when these tests are available, are they not offered yet?

TREES ARE THE LUNGS OF THE PLANET. They help the planet to breathe and we need action NOW. The earth needs a trillion NEW trees. The idea is SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. By planting this volume of trees we can: - significantly improve air quality absorbing much more Carbon Dioxide across the globe - increase biodiversity - protect nature and wildlife - improve flood prevention - help reduce the impact of major climate events - AND HELP THE PLANET BREATHE BETTER. Waiting for global agreements and innovations takes far too long. Getting countries committed to this can START TO HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT RIGHT NOW.

This cut is affecting the most vulnerable in our society

We have just been through a historical time in human history. Never before have we seen such devastation. Covid-19 hit us all hard, thousands of businesses went bust. Many new claims were made to the Universal Credit system as families were plunged into poverty as their livelihoods were taken from them as the virus ravaged our towns and cities. The Universal Credit system is a lifeline for millions of people in the UK and the £20 per week deduction is going to cripple families who have been plunged into the benefit system through no fault of their own. Let's face it, £20 per week may not sound like a lot to many of you, but to claimants of the benefit system it is a fortune. This money is a week's food shopping! A weeks gas and electricity for our top up meters! This government has decided to reduce the allowance just as the winter hits us. What do we tell our children as they sit in the cold house this winter and ask why they can't have the heating on? Families are going to have to choose to literally eat or heat this winter with this deduction. A DEDUCTION THAT THE POPULATION OF THE UK DID NOT GET CHANCE TO VOTE ON! I want to inform the POPULATION of this country, the government is here to serve us, and do as we collectively say. Not the other way round! It's not rocket science is it? Those who are on higher salaries should be willing and able to help the poorest in our society by paying just a small increase on their national insurance stamp to help fund the extra £20 per week rise in Universal Credit. Or we could add a fraction of a penny to fuel prices to pay for this extra £20 per week allowance. This country has a moral obligation to help those who were hit the hardest by the covid-19 virus and were plunged into the welfare system. So this petition is for the masses of the country, the population of this country to HAVE THEIR SAY ON THIS IMMORAL DEDUCTION. I implore you to sign this petition and let this Conservative government know that the majority of the UK population that they serve, do not want this deduction to be implemented and carried forward. We did not get the chance to have OUR SAY, now YOU CAN! BY SIGNING THIS PETITION. Do what is morally correct and let the people who serve us, and don't have a clue about the welfare system, and the cost of living know that we do not want this deduction to continue. People will die from this decision. Children will get sick, malnourished and depression will rise alarmingly by this simple £20 per week deduction. Take the money off those who are blessed enough to be able to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. It's not really a hard decision to make is it? Keep the £20 per week increase to the universal credit system and help the families in need during this time in humanity that has never been seen before. Share this petition far and wide. Let the public decide, as it is our country, with rules and systems that we ALL Want to live with. Thank you. Signed, A universal credit claimant

Students are taught a range of languages, such as French, German, and Spanish, however the language lacking from the school curriculum is British Sign Language (BSL). There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing people in the UK, and these people are much more likely to suffer from mental illnesses (up to 50%, compared with 25% of the general population). So, I believe that adding a BSL course to the school curriculum would be a perfect way to uphold our responsibility to those who are hard of hearing; we must step up and take the simple solution to a problem affecting millions. With the recent Covid-19 pandemic, quality of life for the hard of hearing has only worsened as these people lost the ability to lip read due to face masks and their silent world became even more silent. Even now, when regulations are much calmer, I still watched a deaf woman struggle to communicate with the worker at the pharmacy when she had an issue with her prescription.

For the comfort and cleanliness of all truck drivers - the down trodden workforce who have been forgotten in this Country for far too long.

Since poplypropylene can come in very small shapes and sizes it can be very easy for fish to digest since there's a very long break-down process.

The accusations of loss of face-to-face appointments with GPs have been clearly refuted by medical leaders, with data showing they are unfounded. And while some patients do have poor and upsetting experiences that are clearly bad practice, the majority of us are satisfied with the care provided. Making hardworking family doctors scapegoats for years of government failings is completely unacceptable. GPs and patients are on the same team, and the media attempts to drive a wedge between them is dishonest and destructive. 2 surgeries are closing a week, 3 GPs are leaving every day due to the unbearable pressure and suicide is 4 times the national average. We need action now to stop the loss of this vital and valued public service. The aim is to run down services to drive patients into private care and private health insurance and demoralised and browbeaten doctors into leaving the NHS.

Time is ticking! We must stop producing so much waste before it's too late. Polystyrene is one of the least recycled plastic types and can easily end up in the rivers, seas and ocean. From there, it travels up the food chain into dolphins, turtles, whales and even humans!

BECAUSE ITS UNFARE AND ALWAYS THE UK THAT HAS TO BAIL US OUT OF THE MESS THE GOVERNMENT GET US INTO .WHY SHOULD OTHER PARTS OF THE UK GET FREE PRESCRIPTIONS?

Unfortunately there are no laws to guarantee that all humans deserve the right to have food, therefore no one is held accountable for when people have to live without for periods of time, this needs to change so people can have a better standard of living. Afghan refugees in Haringey need to be fed. Having food is a basic necessity that all humans, anywhere in the world, need to survive. These food banks may be the only source they get and if there are only a small amount of these banks in an area, how can the thousands needing to be fed eat?

I remember the day Italy beat England 3-2 on penalties , like it was yesterday not because of the loss , but because of the aftermath of Saka and Rashford’s terror. Anyone in that situation would have felt extremely endangered, let alone a nineteen year old (at the time). The whole nation watched this delinquency . How would you feel being attacked just because of the colour of your skin? Imagine you’re a football player and you’ve experienced racial abuse… how would you feel? What would you do? We want football clubs to have harsher restrictions so that football players feel comfortable and protected whilst playing for their teams. This is because no one should have to go through this as it can be a disempowering experience.I believe that football clubs should have first and second warnings to fans who are racists towards players. Their first warning should be a year ban and if they do this again they should get a life time ban as this is affecting players mental health. As a rule the FA has an anti-racism education pack produced by Show Racism the Red Card which aims to familiarise young people with the causes and consequences of racism as well as helping them to develop good relationships and respect the differences between people, regardless of ethnicity. Unfortunately this is ineffective as it is not a law to hate crime, however the Equalities Act of 2010 is supposed to protect people from experiencing racism and discrimination. We are lobbying Peter McCormick (Chairman of the FA) , in order for change to occur so that stricter measures are taken when racial incidents happen. Sign my petition if you want Peter McCormick to know that we all agree that we should have harsher restrictions.
