  1. Ban new waste incinerators and revoke permits where building has not begun

    The government responded on 14 May 2025

  2. Impose a lifetime ban on animal ownership for anyone convicted of animal cruelty

    The government responded on 12 May 2025

  3. Require MPs proven to mislead public to resign and create 'fact check' committee

    The government responded on 8 May 2025

    All MPs should be honest. The elected House of Commons, rather than an outside organisation, should continue to regulate the conduct of MPs, who are directly accountable to their constituents.
