Give the UK a General Election annually on the first Thursday in every April

Review PIP eligibility criteria and award payments based on medical diagnoses

We believe many conditions should receive Personal Independence Payments (PIP) that currently do not. Disabled people can incur additional costs and we feel the assessment criteria does not take that into account.

Give children 5 school days of "bookable" leave per academic year

Student midwives & nurses: fund childcare & stop treating loans as income for UC
