- 32 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 32 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Review the legal framework which distinguishes BDSM from sexual assault. This framework should guide police and courts in assessing consent, including whether it was freely given, ongoing and could be withdrawn and outline prior discussion, agreed boundaries and absence of coercion or incapacity.
Increase Upper Capital Threshold to qualify for social care financial assistance
- 24 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to increase the £23,500 Upper Capital Threshold to qualify for financial assistance for social care by at least the rate of inflation. We believe it’s wrong that since 2010 it's not increased. If it shad increased, it would be over £37,000 by now.

Add Multiple Sclerosis to the Medical Exemption list
- Final Signatures: 15,346
To obtain a Medical Exemption Certificate and get free NHS prescriptions a condition needs to be on the current Medical Exemption list. I feel this list does not go far enough to help those suffering with long-term conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis. A revision could help thousands of people.

- Final Signatures: 2,706
The microchipping of dogs became UK law back in 2016. I am calling for the same protection to be given to cats. Each year hundreds of thousands of cats are injured, lost and killed on our roads, a high percentage of which are often not microchipped. Of the ones that survive, many end up in shelters
