This is extremely significant at times like this. The environment is struggling and by removing more species, is decreasing sustainability of biodiversity and interdependence. When removing the animals bodies, less advanced countries do not have the facilities to do so safely which could result in disease and famine.

THIS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS I AM GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS THESE FEES GOES UP EVERY YEAR AND THE IHS SURCHARGE HAS GONE UP THIS YEAR AS WELL GIVING THE CIRCUMSTANCES THIS YEAR WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS I THINK ITS WRONG TO PUT THESE UP MOREOVER OUR EUROPEAN COUNTERPART DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE IHS FEES. WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS AND THEY USE THE NHS JUST US WE SAY WE TREAT PEOPLE EQUALLY BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE WE HAVE BEEN MADE TO PAY MORE JUST BECAUSE WE ARE FROM THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES OR FROM POORER COUNTRIES. WHEN I FIRST MADE MY APLLICATION IN 2014 THERE WAS NO IHS FEE TO PAY BUT I HAVE TO PAY £500 IN 2017 FOR IT AND A £1000 THIS YEAR AND IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR THE PRICE HAS GONE UP AGAIN TO £624 A YEAR WHICH MEANT FOR A TWO AND HALF YEARS VISA IT WILL COST YOU £1560 PLUS THE APLLICATION FEES AND ITS NOT FAIR AT ALL.

Council Tax is a pernicious form of taxation as it isn't based upon an individual's ability to pay. Also it often & unaccountably increases above the rate of inflation for ever decreasing & reduced quality Local Authority services.

If MPs have business interests then: 1. They may be compromised in making any policy decisions related to the industry in which they have personal interests. 2. They are paid full time to be an MP by the electorate but at present do not give 100% due to time committments for personal business interests. 3. As an example George Osborne when chancellor had multiple business interests which meant that physically it was just not possible for him to devote enough time to his role as an MP

its important because when people go to the park on bikes there is nothing to do. also the nearest pump track is really bad.

This is important because of our future is dying

We are at risk of losing a large amount of our music industry, not just due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but because of the lack of financial provision at this time, for those who work within the live music industry. Live music is one of the main pillars of our social interaction, cultural union and entertainment in the UK. During Covid we have been reminded of how much we rely on music and other art forms during tough times, and how we turn to the arts to keep us connected as a nation. Live music is also one of the fastest growing and economically vibrant sectors in the UK. Without taking action, there may not be a live music industry to go back to. Research from the umbrella group, Live, has shown that an estimated 64% of the sector’s 262,000 workers, will be jobless by Christmas. This means that 170,000 people will be unemployed, with the sector facing an 80% decline in revenues this year due to covid measures. The hardest hit will be the industry’s many freelance and self employed workers, 144,000 of which are expected to be out of a job. Permanently employed staff are also at risk, with half facing unemployment when furlough ends. Most businesses involved in live music have not been able to open for the past 6 months, making them ineligible for the government’s new extended job support scheme, which starts next month in place of furlough. Three quarters of live music employees have been using the furlough scheme. The extended job support scheme only applies to businesses forced to close because of localised coronavirus restrictions, so will not aid those who have already been forced to shut. The music industry of course, being one of the first industries to close as a result of the outbreak. This scheme will begin later than expected, as furlough has been extended until December in light of another lockdown. However, only those who were on a PAYE payroll by October 30th will be eligible for this. The self-employed will gain financial aid during lockdown (only 20% of their average monthly income), but freelancers are excluded from this. This means up to 2.9 million freelancers across industries will gain no support at all. The government’s culture recovery fund has saved 10,000 jobs, but research by Media Insight Consulting shows that it will not prevent hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost. The ramifications of this are unfair for the vast and varied amount of people involved in making live music happen, who are not being properly considered by our government. To suggest that musicians should simply retrain in other fields, is not only negligent, but shows a total lack of appreciation for the craft and societal benefits provided by live music. It also shows great detachment from an oversubscribed job market and the pressure currently put on a rising number of applicants, whilst the number of jobs decreases due to COVID. To assume that live music can just pick up where it left off post-COVID, is both naive and impossible. There will not be a normal to come back to and the industry could take years to rebuild.

The sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church has caused severe damage to its reputation. What is worse is the way they have been handled by the authorities in the Church. Sex abuse is something which causes severe trauma for survivors for the rest of their lives, but the cover ups only add to the trauma. As the leader of the Catholic Church of England and Wales, the IICSA report has shown that Cardinal Nichols has failed in his leadership to deal with clerical abuse. Survivors are now calling for him to resign. It is important, as Christians, to first and foremost, seek justice and healing for survivors, and put that above the reputation of the Church.

An NHS X Pay boost backdated to the start of COVID19 would help out workers in the NHS on low pay or with bills and other expenses and alleviate some of their financial issues whilst showing them we recognize and value them.
