- 95,864 Signatures

We call on the Government to fairly compensate WASPI women affected by the increases to their State Pension age and the associated failings in DWP communications.
Reverse changes to Winter Fuel Payment
- 45,828 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 284,814 - 1,668 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately. We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.

- 3,122 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,206 - 93 added in the past 24hrs)
We demand the government stop means testing pensioners, that we think is a degrading and humiliating practice. We also think the state pension should be increased.
We believe that for too long, our elderly have been portrayed by media as merely burdens on the NHS and the modern welfare state.
Do not reduce the Right to Buy discount
- 2,850 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,038 - 64 added in the past 24hrs)
Stop the reduction of the Right to Buy discount. The Government have said the maximum discount will be reduced to £16,000–£38,000 depending on the tenant's location. We think this is unfair because some people's only way only to get on the housing ladder is via Right to Buy.
Hold a Public Inquiry into the state pension age change for 1950s women
- 4,285 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,971 - 42 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that women affected by these changes were given inadequate notice of a further wait of up to six years to receive the State Pension. We believe a Public Inquiry is necessary to expose the truth.
Don't put an extra duty on vape products
- 798 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,627 - 18 added in the past 24hrs)
We think that putting duty on vaping products of £2.20 per 10ml will lead to people smoking again. This is adding potentially £22 per 100ml liquid on top of the price. We think this is extremely excessive. We think it's an unfair duty on a product that contains no tobacco.
Change rules so parents with 50/50 shared care don’t pay child maintenance
- 432 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,304 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
I think we should stop forcing parents with 50/50 shared care to pay maintenance to the other parent. This rule needs changing.
Calculate child maintenance based on net rather than gross pay
- 177 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,169 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
I think the current child support system is unfair to working parents. I would like the Government to change the system so that payments are calculated based on net take-home pay rather than the current gross pay.
Set rules about when a service/venue can describe itself as accessible
- 337 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,133 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
Amend the Equality Act 2010 to prevent a venue or service describing themselves as 'accessible' without describing in what way it is accessible, i.e. what the accessibility features are.
Stop deducting carer's allowance from income based welfare
- 267 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 904 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently carer's allowance affects income based welfare. Carer's allowance is deducted from income based welfare like universal credit and Income based ESA.
