• Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill
    We are at a unique stage in our history. The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us" - David Attenborough Why do we need this bill? We are facing an unprecedented climate crisis and the UK government simply isn’t doing enough. This is an emergency, the next 10 years are critical to keeping global temperatures at a safe level, and we want the government to take immediate and appropriate action. The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill has been written by scientists, lawyers and activists; it has been proposed in parliament by Caroline Lucas MP and is gathering support from a broad range of campaign groups, businesses, charities and individuals. The key points contained in the bill are: 1. Ensure the UK reduces greenhouse gas emissions in line with its legal obligations to limit global heating to 1.5°C 2. Protect and restore woodlands, wetlands and the wider natural world 3. Set up an assembly to involve people from all parts of the UK to develop a strategy to deal with the climate emergency. We need the support of as many MPs as possible from all political parties. Please sign this petition asking Sarah Dines MP to support and vote for the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill when it returns to the House of Commons on 12th March 2021.

  • Mandatory Mental Health lessons in schools
    It's important because it affects us all. If not directly then through the people we know and meet along the road to adulthood. As a society we should know how to handle it within ourselves and the people around us. To prevent the worst, to help us understand each other, and to create a society where there is no such thing as mental health "issues"

  • Extend the £20 uplift to Universal Credit to ALL benefits
    Those on legacy benefits such as ESA and PIP are no more or less worse off than those on UC, any uplifts to benefits because of the pandemic should have been applied across the board. Many people have been put at a disadvantage over the last nine months simply because of where they were living when they applied for benefits and many of those people are disabled and already in a more stressful position because of the pandemic. They do not need further financial stress on top of this. When asked about this Matt Hancock said that people on legacy benefits are also on Universal Credit which is absolutely not the case.

  • Manchester city council - we have a climate emergency, not an office emergency!
    Post Covid many companies are deciding the office is no longer a full time location for staff, yet Manchester City Council have a city-wide plan for more offices. Manchester still has illegal levels of pollution and during the pandemic it was clear, to those living in the centre, that there was no where to relax. Manchester city council declared a climate emergency. Since then they have removed the cycle paths from Great Ancoats Street, approved planning for a huge car park next to a primary school and have recommended plans to replace New Islington Green, a well-used strip of green space, with offices'. Please show us plans to tackle the climate emergency in a post COVID world. Manchester is supposed to be a city that does things differently, as people who live, work and visit Manchester we want the council's planning to reflect that.

  • Stop the Senedd getting a pay rise
    Too many people have lost their jobs during Covid and are now on the breadline. The Welsh Goveenment's motto is "We're in this together", but awarding themselves a pay rise contradicts this.

  • Pay Student Nurses in Northern Ireland
    During the last peak of Covid19 when students were heavily depended upon to help alleviate pressure on qualified nurses, the Department of Health in Northern Ireland recognised their efforts financially. No such payment is available this time, which has left students feeling massively undervalued. They have also been told not to speak to the media about the issue. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus/ni-student-nurses-risking-lives-without-pay-in-coronavirus-battle-39708516.html

    News today that a driver killed not one but three donkeys on Dartmoor early this morning. Speeding in this area of wildlife is regretful and wrong.

  • Spare our diverse tree woodlands
    To mitigate the effects of climate change by retaining mature, healthy conifer and deciduous trees. To retain the unique character of mixed woodlands that have evolved over several decades. These woodlands provide an existing habitat for wildlife, environmentally enhance the area and offer a place of peace and solace for all.

  • Request for retail staff to have clear window on face mask
    Train staff in the understanding that people who lip read can't understand them unless they see their face. I'm surprised this has not been addressed.

    People who are working and have to be off work because of sickness cannot pay rent or bills. They get no help with at all, when on minimum wage this is extremely tough.
