Open Petition since 29th August 2025

Raise the income tax personal allowance from £12,570 to £20,000 - 42,598 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 47,558 - 74 added in the past 24hrs)

This would help with increasing rent, mortgages, Council tax, and Gas and Electric bills. Some families can’t afford to go back to work after children due to childcare costs wiping their whole income!

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to keeping taxes for working people as low as possible while ensuring fiscal responsibility, so we will not increase the Personal Allowance to £20,000.

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 39,578 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 45,022 - 55 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.

Make it statutory guidance not to remove break-times for neurodivergent children - 41,510 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 42,050 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)

We feel that neurodivergent children (especially children with hyperactive/impulsive or combined ADHD) need movement to help regulate their brains. We think we need to stop punishing neurodivergent children in schools by removing access to outdoor play and movement opportunities.

The Government responsed to this petition on 25th September 2025 (View Full Response)
It is for school leaders to implement a behaviour policy that works for their school. We will back headteachers to deliver high standards of behaviour within an inclusive mainstream schools system.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,754 - 272 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to create a law requiring all meat to have a label, such as a simple RS (Religiously Slaughtered) or NRS (Not religiously slaughtered), that states whether it has been religiously slaughtered or not.

Ban greyhound racing - 32,200 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 38,805 - 320 added in the past 24hrs)

Greyhound racing kills and injures dogs. From 2017–2023, 1,230 dogs died trackside, many more were destroyed, and there were over 31,000 injuries. We believe it’s time to follow Wales and ban this cruel sport.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th October 2025 (View Full Response)
The government has no plans to ban greyhound racing. The government considers it a well-regulated sport and recognises the contribution it makes to many people’s lives as well as to the economy.

Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence - 35,300 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 36,752 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)

Change the law so catapult possession in public is an offence. Currently, police must prove intent or use to cause harm. We propose it becomes an absolute offence, like air rifles, without lawful defence. Rising attacks on people, animals, and wildlife show stronger powers are needed.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th December 2025 (View Full Response)
There are laws that can already be used against individuals who use catapults as a weapon, but the Government understands the concerns and is actively looking at this issue.

Hold an inquiry into CAMHS and NHS children’s mental health delays - 24,691 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 35,544 - 67 added in the past 24hrs)

Establish an inquiry into reported failures in CAMHS and NHS delays affecting children’s mental health, school attendance, and welfare outcomes.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has no current plans to establish an inquiry. Multiple actions are in place to improve and reform NHS mental health services and provide children with timely access to appropriate care.

Require non-stunned and stunned meat to be labelled accordingly - 29,693 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 32,793 - 52 added in the past 24hrs)

We think it should be required that the labelling of non-stunned and stunned meat be clearly labelled throughout the food chain. This includes shops, supermarkets, suppliers, fast food and restaurants

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th November 2025 (View Full Response)
Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.
