Blind spots on vans without rear windows endanger vulnerable road users and drivers. We believe fitting mandatory reversing cameras would prevent accidents, protect lives, and make our streets safer.

Ban shelters from providing animals for prison services, or prison services acquiring them in any other way for therapy or for use as comfort animals. We think it's animal abuse.

Ban scalping of collectable/hobbyist items

Legislate to penalise or fine people who hoard stock of collectable/hobbyist items in order to resell them at inflated prices. This impacts collectible item economies and can price out standard consumers.

Require a full licence to be eligible for business use motor insurance policies

Many food delivery riders on L plates haven’t passed a test; just a CBT every 2 years which shows they can move & stop a bike safely, we feel it doesn't show they have road safety awareness. We think they may be causing insurance premiums t

Review how police deal with dogs, including using tranquiliser guns.

We think the government should review whether the police should use tranquiliser guns instead of real guns when dealing with dogs they think are a danger. We believe that the police need to be better trained in dog behaviour and learn to ta

We believe that raising the National Living Wage to £12.50 could help ensure fairer pay amid rising living costs, help reduce in-work poverty, and help boost consumer spending. It could support workers and families while stimulating the eco

We call on the Government to implement a policy requiring schools to have half-days on either Mondays or Fridays. Our policy aims to improve well-being, increase productivity, and create opportunities for students to engage in extracurricul

Increase Private pay in the army so it's not the same as the Recruits'
