We call on the Government to fund and support veteran-led organisations delivering training and employment for veterans who have fallen outside transition support, enabling them to move into sustainable work and reducing long-term reliance on welfare and crisis services across the UK.

- 1,305 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,310 - 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.
Stop allowing the US to use British bases for any action against Iran
- 1,248 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,306 - 2 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.

We call on the Government to hold a parliamentary vote on the decision to grant the United States permission to use British military bases for strikes on Iranian missile sites.
Fund £10,000 armed forces funeral grants & pension inheritance rules
- 392 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 395 - 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.
Establish and fund a National Defence Reinvestment Programme
- 338 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 344 - 1 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”).
Ensure every UK Armed Forces veteran funeral is offered Armed Forces recognition
- 203 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 220 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We ask the UK Government to create a national framework so every UK Armed Forces veteran funeral is offered recognition from the Armed Forces community, such as a standard bearer or veteran representative.
Seize all Russia-linked shadow fleet tankers
- 171 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 174 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The UK Government should seize all tankers in Russia’s Shadow Fleet – ships that are avoiding international sanctions by transporting oil with false flags, with communications off, without proper insurance, and sometimes in a dangerous state of repair.
Introduce Mandatory National Service or Training for Youth Offenders.
- 105 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 122 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to introduce a mandatory program of military-style training or national service for youth offenders. This should focus on instilling discipline, personal responsibility, and respect for the law, providing a structured alternative to the current failing youth justice system.
Keep open local Army Reserve Centres and reopen recently closed ones
- 107 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 115 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe local Army Reserve Centres must be maintained and kept open and recently closed ones reopened to maintain Regimental and local links and accessibility with local Cadet units, instead of grouping unrelated units together in so-called 'Super ARCs'.
