Ban all Fox and Stag Hunting with Dogs - including Trail Hunting

The Government said they'd ban hunting, we think now is the time to stand by this promise & ban all forms of hunting with dogs. We think allowing trail hunting hasn’t worked to prevent live animals being harmed and killed by hunts.

Pause and review the net zero renewable energy development drive.

Review net zero, and the associated planning practice and policy across central and devolved governments of the UK. We think local environment and local communities should be given greater priority in decisions.

Require panels of lay people to review abattoir CCTV footage for potential abuse

Ban LED vehicle headlights or regulate bulb wattage

Funding for specialist police to tackle antisocial behaviour on illegal e-bikes

Funding to be made available to police forces to tackle illegal off road electric motorbikes and anti social behaviour. This funding could be used for specialist motorbike drone units designed to catch and prosecute those involved in the be

More funding for Lipoedema and Lymphoedema care on the NHS

Change free childcare scheme to direct payments into Tax-Free Childcare accts

We believe the 30 hours free childcare has failed, and that it doesn’t take account of variety of needs or types of settings available. There are reports that settings are starting to pull out. We want the Government to offer a subsidy paid

Reinstate study visas for Sudanese students and fully protect their education

The UK suspended Sudanese study visas citing a surge in asylum claims. However, we believe most students are genuine and law-abiding. We think this blanket ban denies education, punishes lawful students, and disrupts futures. Parliament mus

Implement a 2% wealth tax on individuals with net assets exceeding £10 million

Create an asset register and apply a 2% annual tax on individuals with net assets over £10 million. Introduce safeguards, like an exit tax to prevent assets being moved offshore. We think these measures, particularly for real estate, would
