We call for the Government to appoint a highly experienced, respected and trusted industry expert to represent manufacturing businesses and champion their needs. We feel this would fortify the sector, stimulate GDP growth and demand across industries, and strategically foster economic prosperity.

To improve disability rights, there should be a legal requirement for all venues, businesses and shops to publish easy to find accessibility information on their websites and social media, even if it means stating they are not accessible.

Require restaurant chains to provide Braille and accessible menus
- 228 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 263 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We want legislation requiring restaurant chains to provide Braille, large-print, and digital menus so visually impaired diners can make independent choices. We believe accessible menus foster equality and prevent exclusion and that there must be enforcement measures to ensure compliance.
Review enforcement of employment law for unpaid internships
- 79 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 152 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
I would like the Government to review how employment rights are enforced for interns to ensure all those carrying out work are being paid at least the minimum wage. I think this would promote fairer, more inclusive employment practices.

Ensure companies don't make excess profits to bring prices down to a fair amount
- 63 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 74 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We think any profit margin above 30%is excessive. We want the government to negotiate with supermarkets and companies, who are making excessive profits, to use their profits to bring down prices. Alternatively, we'd like the Government to introduce a windfall tax on their profits.

- 28 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 71 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to ban all companies from raising prices during a fixed-term contract all together. We think a fixed deal should mean fixed price, and that allowing mid-contract hikes is unfair, especially during a cost-of-living crisis.

- 35 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 61 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The government should take proactive steps to require mortgage providers to offer fixed interest rates on mortgages which last for the full duration of the loan. We believe this would help to ensure financial stability for homeowners.

- 55 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 58 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I believe that many venues charge a hefty mark up knowing they have the monopoly as they have banned food and drink from being brought in due to safety concerns.
