Make prisoners with life sentences never eligible for release

A life sentence is called a life sentence for a reason, yet some people may serve only 25 years. Make it law that if issued a life sentence, the convicted is not allowed release unless they are found not guilty until they die. Scrap parole

I want the government to review the road tax system to reduce the tax burden on owners of older cars. I think the current system unfairly penalizes these owners with high taxes, despite newer vehicles with higher emissions potentially payin

Make an agreed offer on a property legally binding

I want the government to legislate to change the point at which there is a binding contract during house sales. Once an offer has been agreed, I think here should be a financial penalty for pulling out of the contract.

Government to only issue contracts to organisations that have a DEI policy

Update the government Public Procurement Policy to only allow contracts with organisations that publish a diversity and inclusion policy and how they measure themselves against it.

Establishment of Minimum Standards for Student Housing

Ban sexual AI chatbots

We are concerned about sexual AI chatbots having a catalogue featuring realistic people, which are used for sexual pleasure. We believe there is no way to block children from accessing material on sexual AI chatbots, which can severely dama

Allow all public sector employees to stand as local councillors

We call on the Government to review Section 80 of the Local Government Act 1972 so eligibility rules reflect modern working lives. We believe public servants shouldn't be prevented from standing for local election as clear guidance & propor

Require a general election if an MP elected via a by-election becomes PM

An MP elected via a by-election can become Prime Minister through an internal party contest alone. We want legislation requiring a general election within 3 months of an MP ascending to the office of PM if they were elected to the Commons i

Statutory NHS passports for all children & young adults who are disabled

Increase the current Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) from £1000 to £3000

Ban Members of Parliament from being residential landlords

We ask the Government to introduce legislation preventing sitting MPs from being residential landlords. We believe MPs who profit from rental income are in a conflict of interest when voting on housing, rent, and tenant legislation, which m

Provide funding for all schools to have a full time dedicated SENDCo

Currently in most schools the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo) role is often additional to being a full time class teacher. This should not be the case. The SENDCo should be a separate role in schools. This is becoming more im
