This affects the towns of Barton, Bottesford, Brigg, Broughton, Crowle & Ealand, Epworth, Kirton in Lindsey & Winterton. We believe its important to support volunteers in our community as our unpaid Town Councillors are and in doing so oppose slashing their numbers in half by cutting 67 volunteer posts. These volunteer councillors are people from all abilities and backgrounds who freely give up their time to come together to do their bit to make our towns better places for the future. Democracy and accountability are important, cutting these numbers wont save money but will harm the councils ability to function fully and support the communities as they do now.

Both Peter Bone MP and Christopher Chope MP took turns in camping out in the House of Commons to ensure that they were first in the queue to present their Bills. Between them they submitted 73 Bills proposing the introduction of new laws. Their actions have prevented other MP's from presenting their Bills that would have had any chance of being debated up until November 2018. This important because this has stopped and MP from presenting their ideas for new Laws. Because of their behaviour your MP has been prevented from representing your interests .

Coventry Council are making the families of disabled children pay £600 a year for transport to and from school. This service used to be free, but now families are being forced to fork out. The wellbeing and education of disabled children is being put at risk. Disabled children should not be punished for going to school.

The NHS is under a constant growing strain, with all members from all areas of the MDT feeling the push and are having to work twice as hard to meet with the ever-growing need, and let's face it these people's are saving lives...., missing out on there quality family time so they can keep your family's happy by giving you the gift of more time with your loved ones, these people are constantly training to update there skills spending hours of studying to help improve new way of helping us in the future. Yet some of these people are payed less then someone that could be found stacking shelves at your local supermarket. I believe all NHS workers should receive a minimum of £15ph.

The current valuation of the USS pension scheme is critically important to its members, as the results may well lead to significant benefits cuts or large contribution increases. The assumptions and methods that USS have used in their valuations are causing huge amounts of controversy, and led to the biggest strike in higher education for a generation. The 'Academics for Pensions Justice' campaign, resourced through donations by 2,000 USS members, are demanding that USS provides full disclosure of the data, assumptions and modelling approach underpinning the 2017 valuation. It is imperative that those wanting to scrutinize the workings, including the Joint Expert Panel established in the wake of the strike action, are able to do so. The current lack of transparency is indefensible and should be of huge concern to all USS members, who have every right to see the workings behind any figures USS produces and need to be sure that any claims of unsustainability are put under proper scrutiny.

Thornton Heath resident Seni Lewis died in a mental health hospital after he was pinned face-down by 11 police officers until he stopped breathing. We must stop the use of excessive force that killed Seni and too many other mental health patients like him. Steve Reed MP is bringing a new law to Parliament. It will create accountability and transparency in the mental health services and tackle the unconscious bias that means too many members of our black community are treated differently. No one else should suffer like Seni did, and every citizen from every background should feel safe when using NHS mental health services. We need YOUR help to get Seni’s Law onto the statute books. Show your support for Steve Reed’s new law by signing the petition and asking your friends and family to sign too. We’ll keep you in touch with the campaign. Together, we can make our mental health services safe and equal for everyone. https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/public38/images/mp.gif

“It is the responsibility of everyone involved to ensure that the published record is an unbiased, accurate representation of research.” [X1] The failure of the Freemantle 2015 study's provenance, published in the BMJ in September 2015, to be accurately declared has been demonstrated by a significant body of evidence detailed below. As a result the study in its current form is misleading to readers. This failure to accurately declare the study's provenance has been exploited by both Jeremy Hunt and the Department of Health, who have repeatedly cited this study as 'independent' when using this study to justify their controversial 7 day NHS reforms. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has not to date, responded to a detailed complaint, which outlined the detailed evidence listed below which accurately details the study’s provenance. The BMJ is as an internationally respected institution and has a pedigree for quality of academic research worldwide. BMJ publications which originate from, or exert a profound influence on, government health policy should accept the same level of scrutiny, no matter the results of the study. A failure to accurately declare a study’s provenance is not adequate, whether this relates to the role of the pharmaceutical industry or any other organisation. X1. PLoS Medicine Editors.

The main questions arising from this meeting involving Stevens, Keogh and Deloitte included ‘What is the clinical case for seven day services, especially re mortality?’ and the resulting action was documented as ‘Bruce agreed to have the mortality analysis from 2008 updated’. - The BMJ Editor Fiona Godlee stated in August 2017 “The BMJ to which the authors have responded. They have said that this was not the case. The letters can be viewed on our website.” - The ICMJE guidelines on conflicts of interest are clear and state "Are there other relationships or activities that readers could perceive to have influenced, or that give the appearance of potentially influencing, what you wrote in the submitted work?" - The BMJ’s own guidance on provenance states ‘who had the idea for the article’ - The Oxford Dictionary defines commission as “An instruction, command, or role given to a person or group.” 1.

You cannot and should not be socially, spiritually and professionally elevated by an award that represents all things in conjunction with 'peace'..when your actions are as far removed from the word and it's meaning as is it possible to be.

Sandra McIntier is severly disabled and requires round the clock physical and mental care. If her husband was deported it would have devastating affects on her. Dale McIntier would suffer extreme mental health issues if he had to leave his wife without the love and stability that she needs. It would hurt our government purse to deport Dale. Tax payers would have to pay for his flight home and also round the clock care for Sandra. It makes no sense to deport a beloved husband who is a wonderful part of the community.

FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR THE FAMILY FOR THE MEMORY OF THOSE AROUND FOR REMINISCENCE FOR LEARNING FOR HEALING FOR LOVE.

Care & Disability deserve a place alongside Health and Education as one of the great offices of state. The UN recently described the plight of people with disabilities in Britain as a “human catastrophe”.The Equality and Human Rights Commission says disabled people are second-class citizens. Hit by cuts and a punishing assessment system many people with disabilities are in the fight of their lives. They feel marginalised and humiliated. We need a new approach and the best place to start is at the top. A junior minister in the DWP is the wrong person in the wrong place. Ask party leaders to show their commitment by appointing a Cabinet Minister. Sign the petition.
