Open Petition since 8th January 2026

Cancel the clinical trial into puberty blockers & safeguard vulnerable children - 145,289 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 149,674 - 35 added in the past 24hrs)

The government is aware of the potential irreversible impact (physical and emotional) of puberty blockers, having acknowledged an 'unacceptable safety risk’ following the Cass Review. Yet, hundreds of children are about to be given puberty blockers under a government-sanctioned trial.

The Government responsed to this petition on 2nd February 2026 (View Full Response)
We are following the expert advice of the Cass Review to establish a clinical trial to determine the relative benefits and harms of puberty suppression in young people with gender incongruence.
Open Petition since 4th September 2025

By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - 129,312 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 129,312 - 49 added in the past 24hrs)

When an MP decides they want to defect to another party a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their elected official.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th February 2026 (View Full Response)
There are no plans to make changes to the current constitutional arrangements, whereby voters elect individual candidates, and not the political party they represent.
Open Petition since 11th December 2025

Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on firearms licenses - 122,090 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 122,876 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)

Keep section 1 firearm & section 2 shotgun licensing separate. I think this would help to protect law-abiding owners, the shooting industry, & rural communities. Policies should focus on real public safety issues without burdening responsible citizens or damaging heritage & livelihoods.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has committed to a public consultation on strengthening licensing controls on shotguns. We will consider all views submitted during the consultation before deciding on further action.
Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 114,909 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 122,195 - 344 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to introduce a new tax code for state pensioners, set at double the basic threshold. If this was implemented, pensioners would receive a higher tax-exempt limit, but wealthier pensioners would still pay tax.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The State Pension is the foundation of support for pensioners. The Government is committed to a fair tax system but doubling the Personal Allowance for pensioners would be untargeted and costly.
Open Petition since 10th November 2025

Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy - 115,195 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 115,952 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

We are concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence campaigns in the UK.

The Government responsed to this petition on 15th January 2026 (View Full Response)

Open Petition since 31st October 2025

End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 109,721 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 115,364 - 105 added in the past 24hrs)

Many tests on dogs and other animals cause unimaginable suffering. They can translate poorly into effective treatments and cures for human diseases or provide safety and efficacy data that is not relevant to humans.

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The use of animals for development of products for human use remains necessary. The Government therefore does not agree to end testing on dogs and other animals for testing and research purposes.

Invest in brain cancer and give rights – turn terminal into treatable - 106,535 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 107,944 - 425 added in the past 24hrs)

Brain cancer is the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, 87% with a high-grade brain tumour diagnosis die within 5 yrs, and yet it gets just 1% of the national spend on cancer.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd October 2025 (View Full Response)
Every brain cancer diagnosis has life-changing impact on patients and their families. Research is vital to ensure people can get the most effective cutting-edge treatments and highest quality care.

Lower the age for invites to regular mammograms to 40 & perform annually - 102,607 Signatures

Lower the age for when you are first called to 40 and provide funding to carry out Mammograms Annually instead of every Three Years

The Government responsed to this petition on 21st November 2025 (View Full Response)
In line with independent advice from the UK National Screening Committee, the Government does not intend to lower the age or increase the frequency of breast screens.
Open Petition since 11th February 2026

Do not ban social media for under 16s - 61,145 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 82,488 - 134 added in the past 24hrs)

I think the government shouldn’t ban social media for under 16s. This is because for many young people social media is how they communicate with their friends. Some people view social media as a lifeline. A community, a supportive network. This is why I think the government shouldn’t ban it.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The government recognises the benefits of digital technologies, including social media, for children. We are consulting on how to ensure children have an enriching and positive experience online.

Government apology and compensation for 1950s Women affected by pension changes - 67,964 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 75,669 - 62 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Government to deliver a fair, timely, fully transparent apology that reflects ALL evidence based on what we think constitutes maladministration and discrimination; and addresses the financial, emotional and personal hardship experienced by 1950s women caused by pension changes.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th February 2026 (View Full Response)
We apologised for not sending State Pension age letters sooner. Deciding not to pay compensation and the Ombudsman’s report relate to that, not the petition’s “hardship...caused by pension changes”.
