Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only
- 195,216 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 195,923 - 61 added in the past 24hrs)
Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks.
I believe that permitting unregulated use of fireworks is an act of wide-scale cruelty to animals.

Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored.

- 8,334 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 9,465 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the government to introduce mandatory DBS checks for all licensed tattoo artists in England. Wales has shown this approach works. DBS checks will prevent those with violent or sexual criminal histories from working with clients, protecting public safety and ensuring trust in the industry.

- 7,642 Signatures

Call for tampons to be subject to product-specific safety regulations while retaining VAT-free status. These safety regulations should require ingredient labelling, rigorous safety testing, and post-market monitoring.
Ban banks from denying service to sex workers because of their work
- 593 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,650 - 348 added in the past 24hrs)
Many sex workers are being denied banking services, including account closures and mortgage refusals, because their lawful work is labelled “high risk". Other sectors considered "high risk", such as gambling, have managed to negotiate terms for banking. Why should the sex industry be any different?
Require bars/pubs to have CCTV covering areas surrounding toilets
- 1,231 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,080 - 48 added in the past 24hrs)
I believe it should be a requirement for CCTV to cover all areas of the venue. This includes stairwells/corridors leading up to toilet facilities to monitor the safety of customers.

- 1,585 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,659 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Create an act that legally recognises tartan cloth woven in the Highland region following the precedent set by the Harris Tweed Act 1993. A Highland-based authority could be established to manage the use of the act and it could be supported by with a newly formed working group.
Require all think tanks to disclose their donors, funding, and media spending
- 369 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,294 - 231 added in the past 24hrs)
Research bodies and representation of specialist interests is important when making policy. However, think tanks go beyond merely brainstorming ideas and presenting data and arguments. They can push stories and PR to media outlets to influence the public before policy is made.
Make Carbohydrate Labelling Mandatory in all Restaurants and food establishments
- 163 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,193 - None added in the past 24hrs)
Please consider advocating for legislation that makes the display of carbohydrate content compulsory for restaurant meals, in the same way that calorie labelling is currently mandated. This practical change would make eating out safer and more inclusive for thousands of people across the country.
