Scrap the 2026 £1 Million Cap on Business Relief for Inheritance Tax

We ask the Government to scrap the proposed £1 million cap on Business Relief for Inheritance Tax from 2026. We believe this policy may force the sale of family businesses and farms, penalising founders and heirs for owning illiquid, long-t

Require fair access to PCN appeals and protect victims of number plate cloning

Require councils to offer direct Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) contacts, facilitate fairer appeals, and better protect victims of cloned number plates. We feel councils can issue PCNs with limited options for appeal or discussion.

Fund safety enhancements for sea wall hand rails

Provide funding for local authorities to add additional safety measures to prevent dangerous falls from sea walls.

Prevent police withholding bodycam footage under FOIA

Amend the Freedom of Information Act to prevent the police withholding bodycam footage from closed cases. We think this would improve transparency, accountability, and public trust in policing, provided GDPR and legal protections are respec

Introduce a tapered approach to the Winter Fuel Allowance.

As much as those who are the most in need will get it, there are some who will fall short of the cut off by a small margin. We think we should go for a tapered approach to the WFA instead of a straight cut off, based on household income. We

We think people accused of rape should not be released on bail. We think this will help keep the public safe.

Review how law handles tool theft

I think there should be a review into this as I believe punishments are not harsh enough. This review should also address how the law treats victims of tool theft, who I think should be more able to defend themselves and their livelihoods.
