Decriminalise the use and carry of pepper spray for self defence

I want the government to decriminalise pepper spray as an illegal weapon and allow the general public to carry it legally for self defence I want it to be decriminalised and allowed to carry for the general public because of the increase in knife crime, rape of women and for the British public to feel save again. criminals don’t follow the laws and when called the police are not always able to respond and even when they can the difference of a few minutes can make a world of difference. Our laws are out dated and need a thorough review around self defence and what the public can do to save them selves when you can’t rely on police.

Only recognise a Palestinian state if Israel joins NATO/with defence guarantees

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 27 July 2025

We call upon His Majesty’s Government to make any UK recognition of a Palestinian state conditional on either: Israel’s accession to NATO, or the establishment of NATO-level mutual defence guarantees involving the UK and/or NATO partners. Palestine recognition is promoted by some as a path to peace. If it brings peace and Israel were a member of NATO then the mutual defence clause would not need to be triggered. We think Israel joining NATO is a way to demonstrate that the potential recognition of Palestine is truly a move for peace – not political gesturing or appeasing terrorism. Israel faces open calls for its destruction & existential threats from terrorist groups. We believe it is indefensible to offer new diplomatic legitimacy to a Palestinian state while offering no additional protections to Israel.
