Create a national heat resilience strategy with legal protections for excessive indoor temperature in workplaces and homes. Britain increasingly faces dangerous summer heat, but there is no legal maximum workplace temperature in the UK,

More regulation for home-based childcare: nannies, maternity nurses & tutors

We believe that this sector needs more regulation. Anyone can call themselves a nanny, maternity nurse, or tutor without qualifications, training, or background checks. This can put children at risk.

Extend the classic car tax exemption to 35 year old vehicles

I think the classic car collectors are focusing not only on cars built in the '50s and' 60s but also modern classics of specific heritage such as specialist imports from other countries. These vehicles are routinely on show at classic car e

We want the Government to require energy companies to offer analogue meters for those who cannot have or do not want smart meters.

Fund free train travel for seniors

National train fares are expensive, and even with a 1/3 discount, I think many seniors can’t afford to travel. They must pay £35 annually for a railcard just to save on tickets. This could mean missed family moments and lost independence. I

Issue a statement committing to no new drilling licenses for oil or gas

We ask the Government to abide by the 2024 Labour manifesto and commit to no new drilling licenses for North Sea oil or gas. This summer has been another warning of extreme weather ahead. We believe the science is clear; to ensure climate s
