Reintroduce the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme for First-Time Buyers

We urge the Government to reintroduce the Help to Buy equity loan scheme, offering first-time buyers up to 20% (or 40% in London) on new-build homes. We believe the scheme should be open to all eligible buyers and accepted by all developers

Create a secure, voluntary portal for people wrongly linked to criminal records due to name confusion, allowing them to prove their innocence and protect themselves from harm, while ensuring privacy and data protection.

I want the Government to require all local authorities to make sure all taxi ranks have a raised area to allow wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to have easier and safer access to taxis.

We feel that the adoption process is far too difficult right now with people getting declined due to not having a garden even if they are active people, you could be a marathon runner but because you have a flat you might be considered unsu

Ban guarantor policies for buying or renting homes

We want the Government to ban guarantor policies as we think this could reduce the rates of homelessness. We think access to homes should be based on individual merit and earnings without the need of external parties' reliance.

Review and reform how police deal with complaints

We want the Government to review current practices for how police deal with complaints. For example, consider potentially allowing members of public with sufficient knowledge of the law to review police complaints instead. This could provid

Textual based social media platforms need to be banned immediately until content regulation is voted in. A digital health and safety board must be setup to pass these apps.

Reform the Financial Ombudsman Service (FoS)

We would like the Government to reform the Financial Ombudsman Service. We think there should be a much better explanation of when the FoS can help. We think the criteria in which you can complain should be reviewed and widened.

Review Tax Credit Overpayment system

Tax Credit Overpayments may be claimed many years even decades after the tax credits were paid. The HMRC can take money away from benefit payments. We think this needs to be reviewed by an impartial party.

Reform prisoner recalls and require independent review of repeated recalls

Require an independent review before someone is repeatedly recalled to prison for licence breaches, particularly where there has been no new offence.

Review enforcement of Equality Act for inaccessible venues

We are concerned that in the existing Act the owner of an inaccessible venue only has to say "no it is unreasonable to alter it" to be exempt from making reasonable adjustments. Civil Court is then the only way to challenge this.

End the Use of Bearskin in the Kings Guard Headgear

The Ministry of Defence must find suitable faux-fur alternatives for the King's Guard headgear that fulfil the necessary criteria. Currently, the hats require Black Bear Skin, costing over £2000 each, making them both expensive and ethicall
