We believe digital ride share drivers face growing exploitation from platform companies. They can take big commissions while paying little to drivers. Drivers work long hours but can earn less as fares and profits rise. Drivers now demand g

Review the EHCP process. Timescales are not being met which is distressing.

The EHCP process has set timescales. Some assessments are currently not meeting the 20 week timescale. We believe in some cases it is taking a year or more. We think children in need are being let down by a broken system. We believe more fa

We believe that the monarchy, in its current form, is an archaic and cynical institution, deeply entrenched in the fabric of the UK, yet seemingly more focused on preserving its wealth and position rather than representing the values of mod

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.

Add Brazil as an eligible country for driving licence conversion

Reform the Dangerous Dogs Act (DDA) 1991: keep the public safe

We urge the Government to reform the DDA 1991. Whilst S3 applies to all breeds, we believe it's discriminatory due to the existence of S1 which targets specific types based on appearance. We want this replaced with a behaviour-based approac

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

Since 2018, it's been mandatory for CCTV to be installed on all areas of abattoirs where animals remain alive. The recordings made being available to "official vets" only. This has not ended reports of animals being abused prior to slaughte
