Rejected petition The UK is in a mess, child poverty soaring. We demand a general election NOW!

Under this Tory government, child poverty and homelessness soar. Schools are without basics, pens and paper, books. The NHS is falling apart, largely due to privatisation. We need a government that puts people before profit - and has compassion at its core. The people of this country deserve better.
