Introduce a £6,285 tax-free allowance for second-job income

About 1.26–1.35 million people in the UK work second jobs, often due to rising living costs. As Personal Allowance is usually used by a main job, second-job income is taxed immediately, reducing extra earnings for workers trying to cover es

Currently there is a shortage of blood donations in this country, we think funding blood donation vans for workplace visits could open up a vast supply of new donations that would keep the NHS going. People shouldn’t have their treatment pu

Regulate the strength and advertising of nicotine pouches to ensure that they are not targeted to children. Put a ban on sale or advertisement in school zones. Ensure that the amount of nicotine is a safe dosage with clear warnings on packa

Create a set of standards for private parking firms that ensure transparency

Require ministers to be Members of the House of Commons and not the Lords

The UK government should pass a law banning the appointment of government ministers from the House of Lords, so that ministers can be appointed from the House of Commons only.

We believe that scrapping asylum support saves the taxpayer's money and budget; and that allowing asylum seekers to work would help asylum seekers to integrate into society.

Require police to arrange safe transport home for women released from custody

Require police to make arrangements to ensure that women who are released from custody alone have a safe way to get home, particularly at night or when they have no phone or money. We feel a train warrant is not enough, and a person should
