(Estimated Final Signatures: 94,202 - 8,420 added in the past 24hrs)

- 16,404 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 45,544 - 549 added in the past 24hrs)
The UK Government is seeking a UK-EU security pact. We are concerned that such a decision could affect UK sovereignty and should be subject to a vote of the whole country before it can be implemented.
Reverse Cadet Forces Funding Cuts by Min of Defence and the Dept of Education.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,063 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
The govt have recently halved funding to State School Cadet units and Cadet Force Adult Volunteer Allowances. This is leading to reductions in activities and we think having a highly destructive impact on young people across the UK. We think this particularly impacts those from poorest backgrounds.

Transfer UK Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine
- 2,338 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,096 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)
The UK has approximately 632 Warrior IFVs: 80 awaiting near-term disposal and the rest expected to be scrapped by 2030. The Government should offer to transfer them to Ukraine. We think this would provide an increase in Ukraine's capabilities, without incurring cost to the Treasury.

- 345 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,028 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to not increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP. We believe increasing military spending would exacerbate international tensions and make the UK involvement in wars more likely, which could put all of us in the UK more at risk.
