Introduce a 12-month amnesty on APR and BPR policy proposals
- 7,108 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 8,906 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce a 12-month amnesty, as we think it would allow for the transfer of land & chattels of agricultural businesses to a named person before changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR) are made.
Legislate for a council tax discount for all pensioners
- 5,070 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 6,087 - 22 added in the past 24hrs)
I feel that current council tax rates do not take pension incomes into account. This means some pensioners are having to pay what I think is a very significant percentage of their pension towards council tax.

- 3,643 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,131 - 91 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to commission independent bodies to regularly advise how joining the Customs Union could benefit Britain's economy. We want Parliament to regularly consider how that would advance Government's strategic goal of stimulating UK economic growth.
Exempt all nurseries from Employer NI Contributions
- 4,247 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,636 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that if costs incurred from the planned increase to employer National Insurance Contributions and National Minimum wage are not mitigated, nurseries will have to increase fees parents pay, reduce staffing (and thereby the number of places offered), or close due to no longer being viable.
Publish the economic impact of removing or raising the £100k tax cliff edge
- 2,013 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,178 - 51 added in the past 24hrs)
Model and publish the economic impact of removing or raising the £100k taxable income cliff edge. The loss of personal allowance and loss of entitlement to free childcare hours means those who earn over £100k face a disproportionately high marginal tax rate. Between £100-£125k this can exceed 100%.
Enable self-employed to include childcare costs in allowable expenses
- 893 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,209 - 16 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to allow those who are self-employed to deduct childcare costs from their taxable profit and therefore be included in allowable expenses. We think these deductions could increase productivity, earnings, and ultimately tax revenues.

- 1,913 Signatures
