(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,668 - 54 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the UK Government must ban all cages for laying hens as soon as possible.
We think it should also ban the use of all cage and crates for all farmed animals including:
• farrowing crates for sows
• individual calf pens
• cages for other birds, including partridges, pheasants and quail
Grant the vote for London Mayor to all UK Residents
- 52,524 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 100,851 - 302 added in the past 24hrs)
Only people who live in Greater London are allowed to vote for candidates in the Mayoral elections. We think London carries so much influence across the globe and the majority of UK residents have no say as to who 'heads up' and manages our great city, and we should. London belongs to us all.

Many UK animal rescues operate without clear legal oversight, creating opportunities for unethical practices. Some rescues have been linked to supporting irresponsible breeding, neglecting animals, or misusing public donations.
Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services
- 77,303 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 78,423 - 20 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.

Immediately stop all arms exports to Israel & seek ceasefire in Gaza

We ask you to:

•Do everything in your power to seek an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Just 30 out of around 350 licenses to Israel have been suspended. We do not believe this is enough.
