Stop the Taxi Tax: Call on the Government to stop a 20% VAT hike on private hire & minicab journeysThis would be a tax on people and businesses, threatening jobs and livelihoods, and impacting vulnerable people most of all. New research shows the British public are against the Taxi Tax, with 7 out of 10 opposed to 20% VAT being imposed on private hire and minicab journeys. This opposition was highest among low-income households (71%), women (71%), over 65s (75%) and those suffering from mobility impairments (74%) (Source: YouGov, 2 November 2023). Low-income households and vulnerable groups are those who say they can least afford the new tax. Almost 8 in 10 low-income households who use private hire minicab services (78%) say they will find it hard to pay higher prices, alongside 68% of those users with mobility impairments. Government data shows that in 2021/22 VAT amounted to 12.4% of income for the lowest earners but only 4.7% of income for the top earners. As people struggle with the daily cost of living, putting VAT on minicab trips stands to negatively impact those on lower incomes disproportionately.212 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Stop the Taxi Tax Campaign

Attendance Allowance but NO Mobility component!!This needs to be addressed urgently, it is total discrimination against those that qualify for any benefits because of disability, but not qualify for one that could totally benefit their everyday life, public transport is NOT a viable option to the many for hospital appointments etc. This is, after all, a benefit that has already been paid for through NI/tax contributions over the years, that is qualification enough for any benefits in my eyes, but a forgotten fact until old age hits.466 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Baz Razzell

Get back to work and exonerate the NI postmastersThe ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office clearly showed the mass cover up which led to the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of innocent employees. Rishi Sunak said they were victims of “one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in our nation’s history”. But because the DUP refuse to enter Stormont, the law exonerated them won't apply to Northern Ireland, and the 20 sub post masters impacted are being left to struggle through the courts to overturn this injustice. Justice is devolved to Stormont - so we need a sitting Assembly to make this happen. The DUP must go back into government now, and exonerate those wrongfully convicted.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicola Browne

Bus ReliabilityThe M50 runs once an hour and often arrives early, late or sometimes cancelled with min notice. It often only has a couple of passengers, hence at risk of ending the service. If the mobile App was more reliable, more people may use the bus.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Mortimer

Paint the lines redI am a local town Councillor and the school in my ward, like so many makes it unsafe for children, and parents and causes road rage, and horrendous parking. As a blue badge disabled holder, I could park on the double yellow lines! This still causes a problem now if the lines outside all schools where painted red nobody has the right to park there giving safe access to school. Anyone with a blue badge wouldn't be able to park there. I know I definitely wouldn't and other people also. It is a town problem, it is a city problem it's a national problem.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stella Mellor

Forfeiture of honours bestowed upon every Post Office board memberIt is vitally important to the good people of our nation to know that the Post Office Scandal isn’t going away anytime soon certainly not before a General Election where those responsible will be judged by honest hardworking citizens. Throughout this entire shameful event we have seen on an hourly basis the sin, criminality and downright despicable behaviour of employees of Post Office a wholly owned Government company, from the top down and this I am sure is only the tip of the iceberg of unearthing atrocities. From the implementation of the flawed Horizon computer accounting system in 1999 every SubPostMaster was lied to, abused and humiliated for it would seem like a game to be played out in Post Office HQ corridors. I see it like a cat teasing a mouse to its final demise horrific and watched over by the entire board for their unnatural pleasure. As a honest hardworking SubPostMaster of over 17 years I as millions of other decent citizens have not one ounce of respect for anyone working for Post Office on behalf of the UK Government. Nor for that matter any Minister, Civil Servant involved with Post Office Ltd, with may I add the exception of Paul Scully MP who had a completed grasp of the sheer extent of this scandal until the Prime Minister moved this pioneering champion to the back benches making it obvious that Paul Scully was too near revealing truths, which as it happens ITV did very succinctly. I would again call on the amazing population on behalf of every SubPostmaster past and present who are not as the press insist “Managers” of Post Office another misconception, but self-employed business people who invested their own Money into buying and operating a franchise by any other name. It is time the Government were held fully accountable for this travesty and certain past time that the Honours system was not used to reward such people as Perkins and Gillland.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian D Straughan
