Open Petition since 29th August 2025

Raise the income tax personal allowance from £12,570 to £20,000 - 42,794 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 44,381 - 26 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.

Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 39,714 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 42,198 - 32 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 - 41,530 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 41,647 - 3 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: 40,118 - 227 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban greyhound racing - 34,006 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,696 - 446 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.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 36,590 - 114 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Parliament to include an exemption in the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill for registered charities and approved, responsible rescue organisations to rehome adult, disease tested dogs, who were previously docked as working hunting dogs abroad.

Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence - 35,337 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 35,912 - 5 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.

Lower the age for invites to regular mammograms to 40 & perform annually - 28,590 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 33,581 - 134 added in the past 24hrs)

Lower the age for when you are first called to 40 and provide funding to carry out Mammograms Annually instead of every Three Years

The Government responsed to this petition on 21st November 2025 (View Full Response)
In line with independent advice from the UK National Screening Committee, the Government does not intend to lower the age or increase the frequency of breast screens.

The government hugely values the service of our armed forces but currently has no plans to make Armed Forces pensions tax free at age 60
