Cuts to legal aid - Rose's story
Disabled people will be among those will suffer most from the government’s plans to cut legal aid.
Rose Hartley would have been one of those people after her disability benefit was wrongly cut by the government. She was only able to appeal against the decision thanks to the free legal aid advice she received.

Crack down on tax dodging
The government’s tax collectors don't seem to have been doing their job properly. Instead of making sure everyone is paying their fair share of tax, they’ve agreed to “sweetheart deals” letting big companies off paying billions of pounds.

Save our NHS
Right now, the government is pushing through changes to our health service which could spell the end of the NHS as we know it. Meanwhile, a funding squeeze means wards are closing and doctors and nurses are being laid off.
Together, we can stop this and save our health service for future generations.
We proved that huge petitions can help make the government back down. Now, we need to do the same again to save our NHS.

TELL NICK CLEGG TO TAKE A STAND ON CLIMATE CHANGE
We must ensure that Liberal Democrats don’t vote to lift a European ban on buying tar sands oil. Getting oil from tar sands is a environmental disaster. Beautiful areas of unspoilt wilderness get dug up, and covered with open pit mines, toxic lakes, oil refineries and pipelines.
campaign
Save Our Countryside
The government is trying to push through massive changes to the way the planning system works. Swathes of pristine countryside and vital green fields around our towns and cities could be put in jeopardy.
If we work together, we can stand up for a balanced, careful approach to deciding what to build and where to build it. We can protect local communities' right to have their say, make sure social housing is built where it’s needed and protect wildlife and beautiful, tranquil places.

Rethink the Badger Cull
The government has announced plans to start culling badgers.
Their own scientific advisers warn that it won't solve the problem of TB in cattle, and could even make it worse. They're consulting on the plans right now. If we don't stop them, badger shoots could begin in a matter of months. Can you add your name to the petition?

Keep protections for wildlife and the environment
The government is looking at scrapping legal protections for the countryside, wildlife and the environment. They claim these laws are 'red tape.'
