What the petition asks

This year schools and junior doctors could face drastically significant budget cuts, and that could be changed if big companies like Facebook paid the correct amount of corporate tax. In 2016 Facebook made 30 billion pounds in profit and only paid 4,256 pounds in corporate tax
My name is Mikaiel and i am launching this so that people are encouraged to become doctors and teachers so that education may become better.
