Rejected petition Make Britain a fairer and more equal country
More details
To tackle Britain’s growing social problems we need a fairer society which offers opportunities, encourages responsibility and eliminates poverty. We call upon the government to:
- Make work pay by supporting a living wage of £7.20 (£8.30 London)
- Tackle fuel poverty, as 24% of households will find it difficult to heat their homes this winter.
- Use progressive taxation to address the culture of excessive corporate pay and bonuses.
- Stop planned cuts to the EMA in England and support a comprehensive jobs fund for all areas of the country.
