Outright ban on all XL Bully dogs

We think the 2024 ban that allowed existing XL bully dogs to hold an exemption certificate is clearly not working given the continuing number of serious attacks. We think that the dogs are clearly not suitable for domestic settings and need

Scrap the policy to ban the sale of new Petrol and Diesel Cars from 2030

We believe the Government's policy of banning the sale of new petrol & diesel cars after 2030 in favour of EVs is totally unworkable. We are unclear about how people who park their cars on the street & people who live in high rise flats wil

Reduce vehicle tax rates by 50% for vehicles registered up to 31 March 2017

Reduce vehicle/road /VED tax by at least 50% for cars registered up to 31 March 2017. In our view, the current costs are not realistic, unfair, and extortionate and further promotes the disposable, uneconomic car culture that results from s

Prevent people with serious criminal convictions from becoming local councillors

Review the UK Novel Foods Regs to allow medical mushrooms for human consumption

Modernise the UK Novel Foods Regulation so traditional natural products with a history of safe global use can be sold without authorisation. The framework should reflect modern science, cultural diversity, consumer choice and fair access fo

Legislate to release the 1951 census in 2032 instead of 2052

Legislate to allow the release of the 1951 census details in 2032 instead of 2052 due to there being no censuses available in 1931 and 1941. This would mean that many families could find answers to genealogical questions that currently have

Bring the retirement age for women back down to at least 62 yrs old
