We urge the Government to allow citizens from the UK’s close allies to join the UK Armed Forces, as we think it could strengthen military capability, address recruitment shortages, and reinforce global partnerships. We believe it could also promote unity, shared values, and ensure a diverse force. We call on the Government to change the nationality requirements so citizens from allied countries, such as our NATO allies and not just from Commonwealth nations or the Republic of Ireland, can join the UK military. We believe many people from allied nations are eager to join but are restricted by current rules. We believe by allowing more applicants, it could increase recruitment by opening opportunities to those willing to serve, fill shortages, and strengthen military capability.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 7 March 2025
I want the government to make self defence classes mandatory in school due to the rise in violence on the streets. Due to the rise of violence, there are more young victims losing and fighting for their lives at such young ages. If students are trained with the right self defence techniques not only can they protect themselves, they can also control their emotions and prepare for potential danger threats. Knowing how to defend yourself mentally allows you to act out of logic rather than fear. This is something I believe would truly make a difference to the number of altercations happening on our streets.

The Government should sieze Russian assets held in the UK and use the money to help to fund Ukraine's ongoing defence against Russian aggression. They should be used to buy the necessary materiel from UK and European contractors but in special cases from other parts of the world including the USA. America has switched sides and unless Europe steps up to the task, Ukraine will fall and then Russia and America will target the rest of eastern Europe. This is an existential fight for the survival of democracy. This is Britain's chance to provide the tough leadership that the free world needs. If we don't grasp the nettle now, it will be our children and grand children fighting, and it will be our schools, hospitals and shopping centres being hit with Russian missiles. We MUST act now.
