Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible
- 45,853 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 211,467 - 1,039 added in the past 24hrs)
I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.
The Government responsed to this petition on 19th November 2024 (View Full Response)Don't change inheritance tax relief for working farms
- 20,565 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 187,710 - 10,075 added in the past 24hrs)
We think that changing inheritance tax relief for agricultural land will devastate farms nationwide, forcing families to sell land and assets just to stay on their property. We urge the government to keep the current exemptions for working farms.
Exempt all social care providers from the employer NIC increase
- 25,378 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 153,444 - 779 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the increase in employer National Insurance will put immense pressure on the social care sector, a sector already stretched by funding and staffing issues. We call on the government to review this decision and exempt all social care providers from these added costs.
Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation

(Estimated Final Signatures: 142,329 - 910 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?
Limit the sale and use of Fireworks to licence holders only

(Estimated Final Signatures: 134,567 - 441 added in the past 24hrs)
Fireworks killed our mum, Josephine Smith.
Her home was attacked using fireworks. We believe the use of fireworks after sale to the public cannot be policed.
We think all displays should be licensed and sales limited to licence holders only.
Reverse changes to Winter Fuel Payment
- 23,898 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 126,318 - 623 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately. We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.
Run a public information campaign on the climate crisis

(Estimated Final Signatures: 44,599 - 174 added in the past 24hrs)
Communicate clearly:
1) the science behind the climate crisis - how & why for the first time in the last year we've averaged 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels
2) the implications of going beyond this and what needs to be done to address it globally, nationally, locally and individually.
Decriminalise Abortion

I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.
Do not reduce the Right to Buy discount
- 1,915 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,447 - 127 added in the past 24hrs)
Stop the reduction of the Right to Buy discount. The Government have said the maximum discount will be reduced to £16,000–£38,000 depending on the tenant's location. We think this is unfair because some people's only way only to get on the housing ladder is via Right to Buy.
