Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK - 17,867 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 63,425 - 283 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin the EU, reverse the damage, boost growth, increase tax revenues and restore opportunities in the UK

End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 48,902 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 59,514 - 87 added in the past 24hrs)

Many tests on dogs and other animals cause unimaginable suffering. They can translate poorly into effective treatments and cures for human diseases or provide safety and efficacy data that is not relevant to humans.

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The use of animals for development of products for human use remains necessary. The Government therefore does not agree to end testing on dogs and other animals for testing and research purposes.

The UK Government should not unilaterally recognise a Palestinian State - 57,338 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 58,757 - 21 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the UK not to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state before a negotiated peace. We believe the UK should support direct talks, conditioned on Hamas releasing hostages, disarming, & leaving Gaza; & the PA ending ‘Pay to Slay’, removing extremist content from schools, & recognising Israel.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th October 2025 (View Full Response)
Our recognition of Palestinian statehood, done as part of a wider global drive for peace, is helping to deliver the opposite of the petition’s concerns, showing why it was the right decision to make.

Require non-stunned and stunned meat to be labelled accordingly - 32,648 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 47,315 - 315 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.
