Being an MP is a full time job. It is not something that should be done with half measures. Right now during a cost of living crisis and government unrest, it is of extreme importance that all MPs serve their constituencies the best they can. Taking on second jobs or going on holidays outside of parliamentary recess can simply not be better for the good of constituents and the UK as a whole. When someone decides to become a teacher, they do so knowing it means they will be limited on when they can go on holiday. If you choose to run for Parliament it should be with the same understanding.

Matt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules. The fact that he is trying to cash in on his terrible legacy, rather than showing some humility or seeking to reflect on the appalling consequences of his time in Government says it all about the sort of his person he is. Families were ripped apart by Matt Hancock’s actions, and turning on the TV to see him being paraded around as a joke is sickening. If he had any respect for families who lost loved ones to Covid-19, he would be sharing his private emails with the Covid Inquiry, not eating bugs on TV. Then again, perhaps if those emails came to light no TV station would touch him with a barge pole. ITV should do the decent thing and remove him from the programme.Over 200,000 people lost their lives to Covid-19 across the UK. Matt Hancock was at the very centre of decisions such as locking down late, allowing large scale sporting events to go ahead as the virus ran rampant and failed to get our healthcare workers the PPE they needed. On top of that he was fired after breaking the rules he helped set. His profiteering and shameless search for publicity in the run up to his book launch is another insult to already grieving families.

Our country would be both discourteous and give the impression of a downgrading of our commitment to action on this, the greatest challenge ever to confront the human race, if he is hindered from participation. In contrast, a strong groundswell of support for the King's attendance would send a message to the Conference and to our leaders here in the UK.

Britain must play its part in saving the planet from a climate catastrophe - and must be seen to do so on the world stage.

Porthleven is a small traditional fishing village in Cornwall. Every year they hold a food festival that serves alcohol all day every day and is wide open to the sea, with no safety rails off the harbour or pier. My friends life was lost this year and safety modern day measures need to come into place before anyone else is lost. The dates for the next festival have been released for April 23. Barriers and safety measures need to be put into place even if its just short term whilst the festival is on. Closure of the pier from 6pm till 6am whilst the drink fuelled festival weekend takes place needs to be implemented at the very least. This old Cornish town traditional food festival has obviously grown in modern times and tourism and volume and popularity, but unfortunately the safety of the Porthleven small fishing village has remained as it was many centuries ago. There are no safety barriers or lights on a pier that goes straight out to an aggressive sea.

The garages in River Road are in very poor condition and need to be demolished. But instead of rebuilding the garages or replacing them with badly needed open resident parking space, which is what Arundel Town Council have advocated from the outset, Arun District Council (ADC) are determined to build a 4-bedroom Airbnb on the site. We have been arguing against this scheme for months, but ADC simply will not listen. This petition is being organised to trigger a debate in Arun District Council. We need 1,500 signatures from people who live in Arun District to make this debate happen, so if you want to stop the Airbnb being built please sign this petition and get every person in your household to do so also. Anyone over 16 years old who lives in Arun District can validly sign this petition. If you have any questions please contact the Town Clerk at The Town Hall [email protected] Tel: 01903 882954 option 2. Other ways to sign: • Look out for a petition form through your door, sign and return to collection boxes in Arundel Post Office, Larkins and Hillside Stores or Arundel Town Council, The Town Hall, Maltravers Street, Arundel, BN18 9AP. • Sign the petition at the Town Hall For your signature to count on a paper petition you must provide your name, signature, full postal address including postcode. Arundel Town Council and residents oppose this plan. We believe: • It is dangerous to encourages visitors to drive to this location. This is a narrow road, with no pavement, and driving down Brewery Hill or turning left off Arun Street to access the location are hazardous if you are a visitor and unfamiliar with these roads. • There is not a shred of evidence to support Arun District Council’s claim that another Airbnb will increase visitor numbers and thereby deliver economic benefit in Arundel. We have asked to see ADC’s research report that supports this claim - there is no such report. There are already more than enough Airbnbs in Arundel. • Arundel needs more off-street parking sites. • A 4-bedroom Airbnb is likely to be a ‘party house’ to the detriment of the other residents in this narrow road in the conservation area. • It is inappropriate for the District Council to be making speculative investments of this kind.

The government must take immediate action on the relationship between gambling and football, following the revelation that the EFL sponsorship deal with Sky Bet has resulted in clubs taking a cut of their own fans’ gambling losses. The largest perpetrator of gambling harm is not football itself, it’s gambling companies who exploit the sport and fans for obscene profit. The Sky Bet sponsorship of the football league means that all 72 clubs are essentially forced to advertise gambling on their shirts, in their stadiums and on their websites – even if they don’t want to. This is unacceptable and this latest development is the final straw in a relationship that has clearly gone too far. Only last year, Sky Betting and Gaming was fined £1.2million by the Gambling Commission for sending 100 “free spins” to self-excluded gamblers, many of whom were recovering from gambling disorder. We urge you to legislate against gambling companies from sponsoring our national sport. There are now multiple EFL clubs such as Luton Town, Bolton Wanderers, Tranmere Rovers and Forest Green Rovers who deserve praise and recognition for thriving without gambling sponsorship – it's time for every club to do the same. With the vast amount of gambling profits coming from a small percentage of customers, we know much of this money will come from addiction, from destroyed families and from those who have taken their life due to gambling. There are millions of people either at risk or already addicted to gambling in the UK and many more being severely harmed by a gambler’s addiction. Worse still, Public Health England estimates there are 409 yearly gambling-related deaths in England alone, more than one every day. It is undeniable that football is so often the starting point that draws young people into years of harm for them and their loved ones. Football brings joy to fans and communities. But benefiting directly from the promotion of an addictive product is at odds with this commendable work.

Suella Braverman used inflammatory language about Refugees - comparing their arrival in the UK to an "invasion". Her words came just days after a migrant centre in Kent was attacked. These kind of dangerous words stoke hatred and even her own party's MPs have condemned her for them. This comes less than two weeks after, Suella Braverman was forced to resign as Home Secretary after admitting she broke ministerial code and sent confidential documents outside the government from her private email. Five days later new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reappointed her in the exact same post! In her role as Home Secretary she will have access to sensitive information around matters of national security. Rishi Sunak is playing games to appease different parts of the Conservative Party while putting our national security in the hands of someone who has proven they can't be trusted to handle confidential and sensitive information securely. The Prime Minister must rethink his decision to reappoint Suella Braverman and put our country before his party.

The new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, is looking to cut money from our NHS and struggling public services. He is looking for a way to pay for the disastrous budget decisions made by his predecessor Liz Truss. But with services like the NHS at breaking point we can’t take another round of cuts. Meanwhile the super rich just keep getting richer. We need to start taxing their wealth to support our struggling public services. For example, a 1% tax on super rich people with assets worth over £10 million could bring in £10 billion a year. This money could be put straight back into the NHS and our public services. The government has to act. Rishi Sunak must raise money by taxing the super rich – they must pay their share. With our NHS under severe strain, it’s never been more important for the super rich to pay more tax.

Greener, congestion buster, faster and more reliable mode of transport then road building and travel by road. As in some systems on the continent, light rail could also be used by goods as well as people. Also its clean as it runs off overhead electric catenary wires.

Liz didn't even last 3 months, there is no other occupation that would grant you anything for that, no honest one anyway. Instead she fell at the first hurdle, making huge and avoidable mistakes because of her arrogance. Consequently the people of the UK experienced even more worry and suffering. It now must be made law that a PM that resigns or is forced to go before a year has passed, has no rights to the perks of the job after leaving. It is insulting and ridiculous that she should be able to set her friends up in the House of Lords, receive severance pay and other perks after being such an appalling PM. She blamed circumstance and not herself. She chose such an appalling cabinet that wasn't fit for purpose. She managed one thing, she attended the Queen's funeral, even Larry the cat could have managed that if they'd provided a comfy enough chair! Stop this nonsense NOW!

The public has spoken. They want a general election now. A poll commissioned by the Mirror found that two-thirds of the general public want to head to the polls by the summer. After 14 years of Tory rule - and a host of failed leaders being chosen by a few thousand Conservative members rather than at the ballot box - people have had enough. Rishi Sunak has appeared to promise a vote will be held during this calendar year - before the theoretical deadline of January 2025 set out by the Fixed-term Parliament Act. But many in Westminster believe the Tories will cling on for a few more months and refrain from calling a vote until October. This is simply too long. Rishi Sunak has run Britain since October 2022. Never at any stage has the electorate been asked to choose him as their Prime Minister. This wait must end now. (Deltapoll interviewed 1,642 adults online between December 22 and 29. The data have been weighted to be representative of the British adult population as a whole.)
