We want greater regulation of courier companies, with penalties and or fines for dumping goods on door steps, and not delivering goods in good condition or in time.

Abolish the Life in the UK test

We urge the Government to abolish the Life in the UK test, as we feel it imposes undue challenges on families. Parents with children already juggle daily responsibilities, and we believe the added pressure of test preparation further strain

Reduce the 7-Year Route for UK-born children to apply for ILR to 3 Years

We call on the Government to reduce the 7-year wait to apply for ILR to 3 years for UK-born children, allowing them to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain sooner. We believe this will ensure stability, integration, and fairness in line wit

Criminalise all coercive or controlling behaviour

We feel that coercive control can happen with anyone, especially in the workplace with colleagues. Some cases of coercive controlling behaviour cannot be prosecuted under the law and we think this further harms the victims while endorsing t

Legislation on the use of tactical contact when pursuing two-wheeled vehicles

Legislate to give the police explicit powers to use tactical contact to stop criminal activity on 2 wheel vehicles. We believe many perpetrators are acting with impunity as they are fairly certain they will not be chased or caught because t

Legally require judges to hear children aged 10+ in family court proceedings

Legally require judges to speak directly to children implicated in family court proceedings from the age of 10 years and up, within a controlled Court Environment. We believe that children should be able to speak directly to the person who

Require providers of temporary accommodation to allow pets

Please end this horrific trauma of being forced to re-home pets, while in desperate need of temporary accommodation. The impact of being forcibly told, we have no choice, may affect the rest of our lives, to give up our beloved companio

Review the affordability of the rental market

We think the affordability of the rental market needs to be reviewed by government. We think the review should consider requiring landlords to offer a discounted rate on rent for single occupants such as 25%, like how council tax is done fo

Make it a legal requirement for all landlords to hold valid buildings insurance

Under current regulations, landlords who own properties outright are not obliged to hold buildings insurance. Require that all landlords who rent out properties, regardless of mortgage status, maintain valid buildings insurance as a legal c

Stricter laws for delivery companies: provide location info & access to parcels

We'd like the Government to introduce stricter laws for parcel delivery companies. Sometimes it feels like companies are just throwing our parcels around the streets without any care. We want to be able to access our parcels easily, with cl

Ban all tobacco cigarettes completely.

Please ban all tobacco cigarettes completely in the UK.

Require train operators to allow under 18s to purchase child tickets

We think this should happen because for other things, e.g. buying cigarettes, voting, people have to be 18. Why should young people be considered adults at 16 for a train journey?

Intervene to freeze energy bills for the foreseeable future

We believe the ill, aged, poor, hardworking people of Britain cannot withstand any more energy increases. We are demanding a total freeze on energy bills. We believe Ofgem have been ineffective in easing the cost of living and we note the v

Protect DLA and linked disability support during PIP challenges at age 16

Make the Student Maintenance Loan standardised to all students rather than allocating it on the basis of household income on the assumption that our parents can afford to pay for university fees.

'Right to know' disclosure scheme for repeat romance fraudsters

We call on the government to introduce a disclosure scheme, similar to Clare's Law, allowing individuals to ask the police if a romantic partner has previous convictions for fraud, theft or financial exploitation. Serial romance fraudsters

Ban all identify verification checks online

The Government should pass a law which removes all ID checks on the internet as we feel there is fundamentally no way of safely securing that stores ID information. We believe the idea you can check IDs without having to connect to a databa

Introduce statutory standardised simplified energy tariffs & automatic renewals

We call on the Government to legislate for a standardised simplified tariff offer which each supplier put forward to their customers, and making renewals automatic to the supplier’s cheapest equivalent deal (with easy opt-out), and standard

Review state pension system to reflect lifetime workload and job intensity
