(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,885 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to reform Attendance Allowance so that people with mobility issues can get a mobility element for this benefit, and so access the Motability Scheme. This would bring Attendance Allowance in line with PIP and DLA.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,617 - 88 added in the past 24hrs)
According to the National Day Nurseries Association, the average nursery paid business rates of over £21k a year from April 2023, but costs can be higher. Even charitable settings only receive an 80% relief. We want all early years settings in England to be exempt from business rates.

- 12,857 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,468 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
Under the current rules a car does not become exempt from Vehicle Tax until it is at least 40 years old. There are vehicles within the 20 to 40 year age bracket that are well loved, modern classics and without a reduction in tax, we may see these vehicles disappear from our roads.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,098 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Terrorism legislation should be amended to require all broadcasters regulated by Ofcom to describe all terrorist organisations proscribed in the UK and their operatives as “terrorists” and not by any descriptor, such as “militants”, which does not make their terrorist nature clear.

- 12,342 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,095 - 16 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that the Government needs to recognise the state of Palestine immediately. Otherwise we don't think they can legitimately say they back a two-state solution.
