Don't change inheritance tax relief for working farms - 130,656 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 426,032 - 1,799 added in the past 24hrs)

We think that changing inheritance tax relief for agricultural land will devastate farms nationwide, forcing families to sell land and assets just to stay on their property. We urge the government to keep the current exemptions for working farms.

Ban higher car insurance premiums for over 70s based on age - 748 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 6,022 - 41 added in the past 24hrs)

Parliament must review the exclusion of financial services from the age discrimination provisions of the Equality Act. We think over 70's should not routinely, based upon their age, be charged more for car insurance than any other sector of society.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,795 - 22 added in the past 24hrs)

I am writing to propose a public referendum on the inheritance tax, allowing citizens to vote on its retention or abolition. We think this initiative would empower the electorate to voice their opinions on a significant issue that affects many families.

Exempt hospices from increase in employers’ national insurance - 237 Signatures

Hospices support the NHS in providing end of life care and support to those with life limiting illnesses.
The NHS and the public sector have been exempted from the increase in employers NIC increase. We think the same should apply to hospices.

Commission a Treasury Review On The Practicalities Of Levying A Wealth Tax. - 94 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 593 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe the government should study the practicalities of a tax on wealth. This should include studying wealth taxes internationally and the work of think tanks, to consider appropriate thresholds and percentages. This could also consider an exit tax designed to reduce tax avoidance.

Raise help to buy ISA threshold to up to £350,000 (or up to £550,000 in London) - 75 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 503 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

Since help to buy was introduced, property prices have increased. Those who took out a help to buy ISA and haven’t yet used it may be priced out of being able to obtain the government bonus, 25% of the ISA up to £3,000, as the property price threshold has not risen in line with property prices.

Increase statutory maternity pay. - 48 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 416 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)

I want statutory maternity pay to be raised because of the cost of living. Having a baby doesn't mean bills don't need to be paid. Bills stay the same but often people's income goes down after having a baby.
