- 5,611 Signatures

Legislate to mandate offer of electronic pension transfers and higher standards
- 4,654 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 7,824 - 66 added in the past 24hrs)
You can switch banks in a week and send money instantly, so why should pension transfers take months and be so stressful? Only the government has the power to change this, so we’re asking them to take action and set clear, enforceable standards for faster, electronic pension transfers.
Implement measures to reduce child poverty
- 2,342 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,401 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)
It’s not OK that almost a third of UK children (4.5 million) live in poverty. I want the Government to:
-Lift 620,000 children from absolute poverty by removing the 2-child limit and the benefit cap
-Increase child-related benefits in line with inflation or average earnings (whichever is higher)
Introduce Statutory Menstrual Leave For People With Fibroids and PCOS
- 1,552 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,076 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to introduce statutory paid menstrual leave of up to 3 days per month for people with fibroids and PCOS, similar to Portugal’s model. We believe leave should come with strong workplace protections, be confidential and require a single annual medical certificate.
Allow State Pension to be passed to children, long-term partners, and dependents
- 764 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,283 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We ask the Government to change State Pension inheritance rules so that individuals can nominate a beneficiary such as their child, long-term cohabiting partner, or carer – or offer them a lump sum – so it is not just a spouse or civil partner inheriting from the pension as at present.
Allow elderly disabled people to claim the state pension early
- 1,148 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,153 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We think that any disabled person aged 60 who has been unemployed for at least 5 years should be given the choice to retire and claim the state pension immediately.
Reform the way PIP assessments are conducted for deaf people
- 598 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 613 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We think PIP claims for deaf people should be assessed through the form, with no telephone or face to face consultations.
Keep the 2 child benefit cap
- 440 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 513 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
I want people to be educated about the real, long term costs associated with having children and accept that if they choose to have more than 2 children then they should commit to funding that decision themselves and not expect others to pay for their choice for many years.
Require all PIP assessments & reviews be conducted by doctors
- 477 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 482 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently people we think are under-qualified are carrying out PIP assessments & reviews. We feel this is unfair as PIP claimants should be assessed by practising doctors and in complex cases, specialist doctors, not occupational therapists, nurses, physiotherapists, paramedics, or pharmacists.
