Disabled people should be able to easily access central London and move around the city

First Time Buyers cannot get on the property ladder. Young people are forced with the prospect of having a lifetime of renting. Their rentals are often poor quality, particularly down the lower end and do not meet basic standards now required for helping the environment. High deposits and a high income to get even the basic of homes is now out of reach of most young people. They are paying rents which are much higher than what they would pay on a mortgage. Now Lloyds Bank is entering the rental market by buying up new build housing thus depriving first time buyers the chance to buy and they will land up paying a rent at least twice as much as the mortgage. Prospective homebuyers do support this. You are paying a high price to line other peoples' pockets with your rent and no prospect to buy. Parents - you want to see your children settled in their own home. We don't all have a money tree as the government likes to think - the bank of Mum and Dad (you're busy saving for your retirement and many of you will be still paying a mortgage!) All of us want first time buyers to have a realistic chance of owning their own home. It's good for them and good for the country - Buy to let has got out of control. Rental homes should not be a source of income for big business especially those like banks who should be helping people to get a mortgage not depriving them of one! I'm a much older person who got my own home on a low deposit, and the mortgage was given much more easily. Today, house prices have risen much higher than wages and will be made worse by big banks and others who see this as a source to boost their funds. I want young people to be able to buy a home more easily.

As we have departed Afghanistan after 20 years, what better way is there of saying to Afghans who worked shoulder to shoulder with our troops that we value you and welcome you to our country. Scrap the passport fee now.

I’m a single carer for my disabled son. My son now being over 18yrs is now classed as a none dependent. A dependent is someone who is unable to care for themselves or live alone unsupported age does not matter or come into the equation. My status is not single as I do not live alone I have a dependent living with me. I should be classed as a single carer not a single person. I live on Universal Credit my carers Allowance is classed as a wage of £67.60 so deductible from my UC I’m paid the same as a single person? Single categorically not as I do not live alone I have a dependent! We are a silent army of carers not workers. To be classed as a carer the law states care needs to be in excess 36hrs a week to qualify most carers care 24/7. We are providing a very important role with the cuts to Adult service’s we should be valued not reduced to living on the property line. STOP this injustice help carers to keep the Carers Allowance. It should not effect any income they receive! It should be separated from carers earnings not recognised as a wage but an Allowance no longer a means tested benefit. By signing this petition you are given us the recognition we so badly need. Support all carers we need 100,000 signatures to make a difference! 🤝 We are counting on YOU ! You must know of someone who is a carer and realise what a delicate group of people they are in their local community putting others first but now we need you to support us, so please make a difference. This would have a fundamental impact on so many carers lives.

Mobile testers work at the sharp end of the NHS Test and Trace service. Rain or shine, we expose ourselves to symptomatic members of the public, doing our best to curb the transmission of COVID-19. G4S's decision to reduce our pay is a cynical cost-cutting exercise. Please support our demands for a fair day's pay.

I contacted Universal Credit through my journal in March 2021 to say that my son had started an apprenticeship. Being an Electrician course he has to gain experience and knowledge in the workplace as he cannot do it in the classroom. It is essential for him to gain his qualification. I was told that he had been verified as a child and in full time education. I tried to clarify the situation as he was being paid. Due to my journal entries not being read for long periods I phoned. This is very stressful for me as I had emergency brain surgery following an accident and am still in recovery. They said it was a grey area. I was very surprised to hear this and wondered what I should do. I was told if he was with an approved trainer working towards a qualification I would still receive payments for him. I had a letter from his training provider to back up his situation and details of the college course. DWP refused to accept see it. After 5 months DWP say he is classed as working. He earns £4.30 an hour and has to buy his own tools as well as travelling to college where he does relevant work towards his level 3 qualification as an Electrician. In my eyes and many others he is not independent. He cannot live on the money he receives. He is dependant on me. I have been asked to pay back £1128. I see this as a major error of the DWP. I tried to clarify the situation. It is all in my journal. I have a letter from his trainer and details of the course he is doing. As an electrician, the practical side cannot be done in a classroom. Being onsite with qualified electricians is vital. This leaves me as a single parent in a very difficult situation. I cannot work due to my injury. I will lose the child element in my Universal Credits, Child Benefit and the Covid payment. I want my son to continue his apprenticeship. I believe there is a shortage of trades people. I have worked all my life, paid taxes and NI. Now I need support in getting my son through his apprenticeship. Please support me in claiming the money I need to do this. There are many families in the same situation who simply cannot afford to put their child through an apprenticeship as all benefits stop.

York has a long history of accepting refugees, and York will continue to do so with pride. This chance has a significant impact on the lives of poor Afghans in need of home and safety. We shall extend a northern welcome to these Afghans and work to demonstrate that a different future is possible in the days and years ahead, one free of war and one of peace.

Bring pen and the dogs home

Despite Brexit and COVID-19, we still live in one of the richest countries in the world. So, it is truly disgraceful that an increasing number of people are being forced to choose between paying energy bills and food. Food banks are not the solution! While they have done an enormous amount of good work feeding those who need it the most, their existence cannot be justified as long as the government is happy to spend tax payers' money on £300,000 flat refurbishments and 'vanity projects' like HS2, a project which even traditional Conservative voters don't want! Moreover, there are sufficient funds in National Insurance contributions to pay for this much-needed increase in Universal Credit. Many of those claiming Universal Credit contributed to that fund. So, why is it not being used to fund the very things National Insurance was designed to prevent?

British citizens, in fear for their lives, shouldn’t be conned into believing they are about to be rescued and lied to by a sitting Prime Minister!
