Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence - 38,547 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 45,681 - 98 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.

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 21,152 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,910 - 179 added in the past 24hrs)

Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill delivers on manifesto promises and will make progress towards the Opportunity Mission to break the link between young people’s background and future success.

The government will work to ensure children with SEND get a high-quality education. The SEND National Conversation, Select Committee reports and Schools White Paper consultation will inform reforms.

Reduce Vehicle Excise Duty by 50% for vehicles aged 20 to 39 years - 4,942 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 36,752 - 4,644 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a 50% VED reduction for cars aged 20–39. High taxes force functional vehicles to be scrapped, creating a "disposable" culture. Keeping existing cars is greener than building new ones, as it preserves embedded carbon. This "Young-Timer" bracket supports the circular economy and UK heritage.

Make all court and tribunal transcripts available free of charge - 5,982 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 36,626 - 1,049 added in the past 24hrs)

Make all court and tribunal transcripts available for free. Currently, fees can reach thousands, creating a "paywall" for justice. All legal records should be public property to help ensure transparency, allow for fair appeals, and support victims. Access to the law should not depend on wealth.
