Increase full-time Carer's Allowance to at least £800 per week

We want the government to pay all full-time carers at least £800 per week. Carers should be valued within society and we think their worth should be reflected in the help and benefits they receive. Carers can receive £83.30 a week, however

We do not want the Bedford to Cambridge section of the Oxford to Cambridge Rail Link as described by East West Rail Co's Route Update Announcement and subsequent refinements including in the 2024 Non Statutory Consultation. We call for plan

Launch a review into the implementation of the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 to investigate Government compliance with the requirements of the Act. We believe the Government has not provided the resources required to

Ensure that student nurses are paid for their placement hours

Stop PIP Cuts: Protect Support for Disabled People

We call on the UK government to reverse the changes to Personal Independence Payments (PIP). We think these cuts unfairly target disabled people who rely on PIP for essential support. We would like fair and compassionate welfare policies th
