Commercial Pilot Training to be VAT exempt and introduce new funding options
- 158 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,454 - 27 added in the past 24hrs)
I am urging the Government to make all commercial pilot training fees VAT exempt and provide government-backed loans or grants for aspiring pilots. I believe that this would lower financial barriers which in turn would promote diversity and provide a sustainable future for the aviation industry.
Launch a railcard for those over the age of 30 covering all of the UK.
- 302 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,426 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)
The Government should create a railcard for those over the age of 30. It seems unfair and unjust that people aged 16-30 may get a railcard, but after this cut-off it is not possible to get a railcard unless you are 'senior', travelling with another person, or part of another group, such as veterans.
Introduce a Long-Term Visit Visa for Parents of British Citizens and ILR Holders
- 400 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,393 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the UK Government to create a long-term visit visa for parents of British citizens & ILR holders. This visa would allow extended stays beyond the current six-month limit, with applicants providing proof of private health insurance or paying an NHS surcharge to mitigate public health costs.
Introduce a duty of candour to all MPs

(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,348 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
We would like a duty of candour to be introduced for all sitting MPs.
Fund reconstruction surgery and psychosexual therapy for FGM survivors
- 362 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,319 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to support FGM survivors by providing funding to make reconstructive surgery and psychosexual therapy accessible within the NHS. Many survivors face untreated pain and trauma, facing barriers from high costs and limited NHS resources.
Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship
- 145 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,287 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.
Fund the development of allergen free, vegan-friendly medications
- 110 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,273 - 25 added in the past 24hrs)
As it stands, many necessary medications have allergens and non-vegetarian and non-vegan products in them. We would like vegan/allergen free alternatives to be widely and easily available.
Don't put an extra duty on vape products
- 440 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,268 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
We think that putting duty on vaping products of £2.20 per 10ml will lead to people smoking again. This is adding potentially £22 per 100ml liquid on top of the price. We think this is extremely excessive. We think it's an unfair duty on a product that contains no tobacco.
Reassess the classification of Cannabis and decriminalize it.
- 123 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,227 - 18 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the Government should re-evaulate Cannabis' classification as a class B drug. We think that by legalising the drug in a controlled way across the country the tax could assist in paying off the country's debt and help repair the ongoing economic difficulties the UK faces.
Donate migrant boats to Ukraine
- 180 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,167 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
It seems that it costs the British taxpayer to store these boats and engines in Dover and at other facilities. Confiscated from people smugglers, we believe they should be repurposed by donating to the Ukrainian Military for use in defence and rescue missions on Dnipro and other Ukrainian rivers.
