Open Petition since 20th January 2025

Stop financial and other support for asylum seekers - 378,367 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 445,669 - 2,135 added in the past 24hrs)

This petition is to advocate a cessation of financial and other support provided to asylum seekers by the Government. This support currently includes shelter, food, medical care (including optical and dental), and cash support.


Open Petition since 14th February 2025

Ban immediately the use of dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures - 242,883 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 250,378 - 139 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.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 28th April 2025

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 23rd May 2025

Keep the 5-Year ILR pathway for existing Skilled Worker visa holders - 142,946 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 160,870 - 111 added in the past 24hrs)

Do not apply the proposed 10-year ILR rule to existing Skilled Worker visa holders. Keep the 5-year ILR route for those already in the UK on this visa. Apply any changes only to new applicants from the date of implementation.


Open Petition since 1st April 2025

Shut the migrant hotels down now and deport illegal migrants housed there - 70,827 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 102,383 - 291 added in the past 24hrs)

The Labour Party pledged to end asylum hotels if it won power. Labour is now in power.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd April 2025 (View Full Response)
We are working as fast as possible to close asylum hotels and increase the removal of people with no right to be in the UK, but we inherited an asylum system in chaos, and we cannot fix it overnight.
Open Petition since 2nd May 2025

Prohibit the wearing of all full-face coverings in public spaces - 39,780 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 63,240 - 167 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the Government to prohibit full-face coverings in public, including niqabs, burqas, balaclavas and ski masks, to strengthen social cohesion, preserve cultural values, enhance security and promote gender equality. We believe this will ensure fairness, safety and a more unified Britain.


Open Petition since 23rd January 2025

Reduce the ILR qualifying period from 5 years to 3 years for legal immigrants - 46,405 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 46,828 - 11 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 20th December 2024

Enact measures to combat knife crime - 37,625 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 38,042 - 359 added in the past 24hrs)

Establish a violence reduction unit like the Scottish Government did to minimise knife crime.

The Government responsed to this petition on 29th April 2025 (View Full Response)
There are already 20 Violence Reduction Units established in England and Wales, many of them based on Scotland’s model, and all of them integral to our mission to halve knife crime within a decade.
Open Petition since 15th January 2025

Create path to Settlement for Ukrainians in the UK - 35,778 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 35,961 - 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 - 34,721 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 34,844 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

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 4th March 2025

Launch a Public Inquiry into Grooming Gangs - 27,342 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 30,600 - 40 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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 1st April 2025 (View Full Response)
Alexis Jay went on to conduct a 7-year national inquiry on child sexual abuse. Our priority now is to act on her findings and deliver justice for grooming victims, not order another national inquiry.
