Stop HMRC implementing making tax digital and enforcing quarterly submissions - 17,671 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,102 - 49 added in the past 24hrs)

HMRC is pushing ahead with Making Tax Digital: a scheme that requires all business to maintain digital accounts. Currently many small businesses use paper accounting records or spreadsheets. Small businesses may lack the skills, time and funding to maintain digital accounts.

Making Tax Digital will help businesses stay on top of their affairs, boost productivity and ensure more of the right tax is paid. The Government will support users and has no plans to delay.

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.

Recognise Palestine as a State and seek immediate ceasefire in Gaza - 17,556 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,756 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe it is imperative the UK Government acknowledges the rights of all Palestinian people and seeks to implement an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Their suffering must end; they deserve basic human rights. Palestinians should live without fear and be allowed to make decisions about their future.

Since day one, this Government has been clear that we need an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The UK intends to recognise the state of Palestine by the time of the UN General Assembly in September.

There are a number of TV licence concessions available, including for over-75s in receipt of pension credit. There is no BBC concession to provide free TV licences for all pensioners at this time.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,578 - 121 added in the past 24hrs)
