The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill does not liberate leaseholders currently living in flats from what we see as a feudal type of ownership.

- 254 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 258 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Many part time jobs require a minimum number of hours, so people in receipt of Carer's Allowance would have a better chance of getting a job without the worry of losing Carer's Allowance if claimants were able to work up 16 hours a week, with no limit on earnings.

- 135 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 213 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Many PIP assessment decisions are overturned either at mandatory reconsideration or at a tribunal. This is a wasteful use of Government resources and causes unnecessary stress for claimants. We want fines to be levied on companies conducting PIP assessments if a decision is overturned on appeal.

- 16 Signatures

Ensure Government funding for police exceeds council tax police precept
- 75 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 165 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
It is within the power of Government and Parliament to set a framework where the majority source of police funding in England is from central government, rather than council tax. From 2024/2025, we want a funding formula that prevents the majority of police funding coming from council tax.
