Open Petition since 14th February 2025

Ban immediately the use of dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures - 232,002 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 241,912 - 74 added in the past 24hrs)

As a first step to end animal testing, we want an immediate ban for dogs. They are commercially bred in what we see as bleak and inhumane factory-like conditions. We believe there is evidence suggesting that dogs are left being unattended for extended periods in a Government-licenced establishment.

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th March 2025 (View Full Response)
The government does not agree to the proposed immediate ban as international guidance still requires data from animal testing to ensure the safety of medicines and products before testing in humans.
Open Petition since 26th November 2024

Close the borders! Suspend ALL immigration for 5 years! - 224,617 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 231,588 - 143 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe our country is facing serious challenges both from legal and illegal migration, and think the only way to deal with this is to suspend all immigration temporarily for 5 years.

Scheduled Debate: This petition is scheduled to be debated on 10th March 2025

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th January 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is taking the tough action required to reduce both illegal immigration and overall net migration, without the economic damage that would come from suspending immigration entirely.
Open Petition since 23rd January 2025

Reduce the ILR qualifying period from 5 years to 3 years for legal immigrants - 38,361 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 44,776 - 65 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to reduce the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) from 5 years to 3 years for legally residing immigrants who are working, paying taxes, and have no criminal record.

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th March 2025 (View Full Response)
People can settle in the UK after a period of temporary permission. These periods may vary in specific instances; we keep policies under review but see no case to reduce the current five-year period.
Open Petition since 15th January 2025

Create path to Settlement for Ukrainians in the UK - 35,285 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 35,834 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the UK government to provide a path to settlement for Ukrainians living in the UK. These individuals face significant uncertainty about their future. We think allowing them to settle would provide the stability needed to rebuild their lives and contribute to British society.

The Government responsed to this petition on 24th February 2025 (View Full Response)
We recognise the Ukrainian government’s desire for the return of their citizens to help rebuild Ukraine when it is safe to do so. This is why the temporary Ukraine schemes do not lead to settlement.
Open Petition since 24th December 2024

Abolish Non-Crime Hate Incidents - 33,358 Signatures

The term 'non-crime hate incident' describes an incident which involves an act by a person which is perceived by another person to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards people with a particular characteristic, i.e. race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, transgender identity.

The Government responsed to this petition on 24th January 2025 (View Full Response)
The National Police Chiefs’ Council, supported by the College of Policing, are reviewing the use and effectiveness of non-crime hate incidents. The Government will await the outcome of this review.
Open Petition since 27th March 2025

End the Injustice: Grant British Nationals (Overseas) Full UK Citizenship - 6,071 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,039 - 764 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to address what we feel is a long-standing injustice and grant BN(O)s full citizenship rights we think they deserve. We think this would be a recognition of their historical ties to the UK and also a reaffirmation of the UK's commitment to democratic principles & human rights.


Open Petition since 27th November 2024

Make the sale of catapults/ammunition and carrying catapults in public illegal. - 18,464 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,567 - 111 added in the past 24hrs)

Make it illegal to carry catapults in public places, so the police can arrest those carrying, especially in areas of known wildlife crime, regardless if ammunition is found or not.


Open Petition since 4th March 2025

Launch a Public Inquiry into Grooming Gangs - 18,308 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,493 - 27 added in the past 24hrs)

A taskforce has helped arrest hundreds of offenders since 2023. We believe abuse is large scale and ongoing. Yet we think the authorities refuse to acknowledge the background and motivation of abusers, the failures of police, social workers and local councillors, and potential cover-ups.


Open Petition since 12th March 2025

Review the police response to assaults on mental health nurses - 5,087 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,791 - 192 added in the past 24hrs)

We want more protection for mental health nurses in cases of assault. Review the official action taken after an assault, to ensure that the assault and abuse of mental health nurses is taken seriously. Review how Operation Cavell has been applied to mental health nurses.


Open Petition since 19th November 2024

Ban animal testing for human products and medicines - 14,436 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,952 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)

We demand that the Government bans the use of animal testing/experiments for human medicines and products. This means that animal testing could not be used for new drugs, and other scientific methods would need to be used. We believe modern science can replace animal experiments.

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th February 2025 (View Full Response)
The government does not agree to the proposed ban. The UK still requires data from animal testing to ensure the safety of medicines and products before testing in humans.
