Launch a Public Inquiry into Grooming Gangs - 27,920 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,647 - 14 added in the past 24hrs)

A taskforce has helped arrest hundreds of offenders since 2023. We believe abuse is large scale and ongoing. Yet we think the authorities refuse to acknowledge the background and motivation of abusers, the failures of police, social workers and local councillors, and potential cover-ups.

The Government responsed to this petition on 1st April 2025 (View Full Response)
Alexis Jay went on to conduct a 7-year national inquiry on child sexual abuse. Our priority now is to act on her findings and deliver justice for grooming victims, not order another national inquiry.

The 'Nationality: good character requirement' guidance was updated on 10 February 2025, preventing many refugees from ever becoming British citizens. We urge ministers to urgently reverse this policy or update the guidance to confirm refugees are exempt.

We expect people applying for British citizenship, including refugees, to respect our laws. The good character policy is compliant with the Refugee Convention, and there are no plans to reverse it.

Urgently fulfil humanitarian obligations to Gaza - 26,544 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,840 - 125 added in the past 24hrs)

Act to ensure deliverer of fuel, food, aid, life saving services etc. We think this shouldn't be dependant/on condition of Israeli facilitation as the Knesset voted against UNWRA access to Gaza. We think if military delivery of aid, airdrops, peacekeepers etc, are needed, then all be considered.

Promote plant-based foods over meat and dairy for a healthier Britain - 21,974 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,418 - 74 added in the past 24hrs)

To help protect planetary and human health, the Government must promote plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, and legumes, and end any support for campaigns promoting meat and dairy. We believe the UK needs to eat less, not more, of these foods.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th May 2025 (View Full Response)
The government’s guidelines for a healthy diet recommend that the majority of food we eat should be plant-based. However, a healthy balanced diet can include meat and dairy.

Solar power is key to our Clean Power 2030 ambition. We have no plans to ban solar on farmland. All projects go through a rigorous planning process. Increasing rooftop solar remains a top priority.

Allow motorcycles in bus lanes as default - 22,493 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,172 - 79 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the Government to reverse its decision on the motorcycles in bus lanes consultation published 21 November 2024 and make the national default that motorcycles are allowed in bus lanes unless the local authority decides otherwise.

The Government responsed to this petition on 24th March 2025 (View Full Response)
Local authorities are best placed to understand the needs of their road networks rather than central government. The consultation did not find enough evidence of the safety benefits for change.

Ban "small-scale fracking" for onshore oil and gas - 5,857 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,715 - 96 added in the past 24hrs)

Fracking forces fluid into rocks to open cracks so oil or gas can flow out. It was banned in 2019 after being blamed for causing earthquakes in shale gas drilling. But the ban only covers fracking with large volumes of fluid.

Hold a UK referendum before joining any defence and security pact with the EU. - 21,540 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,391 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)

The UK Government is seeking a UK-EU security pact. We are concerned that such a decision could affect UK sovereignty and should be subject to a vote of the whole country before it can be implemented.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd June 2025 (View Full Response)
The UK and the EU agreed a Security and Defence Partnership at the UK-EU Summit to strengthen our continent’s security. The UK retains full sovereign control over how it engages with EU initiatives.

Transfer UK Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine - 18,935 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 19,687 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)

The UK has approximately 632 Warrior IFVs: 80 awaiting near-term disposal and the rest expected to be scrapped by 2030. The Government should offer to transfer them to Ukraine. We think this would provide an increase in Ukraine's capabilities, without incurring cost to the Treasury.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd July 2025 (View Full Response)
Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) are key platforms for the British Army to meet Defence Commitments. We continue to work with Ukraine to identify how to help them to resist Russian aggression.
