Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

More details
I was unable to continue to work during the full lock down but I was capped every month during lock down. Which resulted in very little or no money available and without any family or friends to turn to it resulted in days were there was no food for myself or husband as we put feeding our children first, and even then there was days were a meal would be bread and water for them. I have been forced out of work again and this is all going to happen again.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
