Expel all US military personnel and close all US military bases in the UK
- 4,484 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,685 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the UK Government to cancel all UK-US agreements that permit US personnel and bases to operate in the UK, in order to prevent the UK from being used as a base for any unilateral military action.

- 1,272 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,390 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The Red Arrows represent British engineering, skill and national identity. We believe this iconic team should continue to showcase British aerospace excellence by flying a new British-designed and built aircraft when their existing aircraft are retired.

- 736 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 853 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The UK claims that it is only taking defensive action in the Israel-US & Iran war. We think that letting the US use British bases does not align with this claim, that it is not in our interest and does not support peace in the region. Stop the US use of bases in all capacities, including defensive.

- 307 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 623 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to launch a National Defence Reinvestment Programme, beginning with an initial capital investment equivalent to 5% of GDP. We are concerned the UK has become dangerously underprepared after decades of under-investment in defence (the so-called post–Cold War “peace dividend”).

We ask UK Gov, subject to Ukr’s invitation, deploy non‑combat UK teams to W. and N. Ukr to secure rear areas, protect civilians, deter & doc cross‑border incursions, & sustain humanitarian corridors. This would be lawful, aligned with NATO sp mechs & IHL & free Ukr forces for front‑line defence.
Fund £10,000 armed forces funeral grants & pension inheritance rules
- 387 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 401 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe veterans who serve for decades deserve dignity and pension protections like some other pensions. Many don't receive death payments to help with funeral support and often pensions can’t pass to dependent adult children, leaving families insecure and reliant on charities.
