This petition calls for the Government to allocate Parliamentary time for assisted dying to be fully debated in the House of Commons and to give MPs a vote on the issue. Terminally ill people who are mentally sound and near the end of their lives should not suffer unbearably against their will.

- 5,615 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 105,982 - 866 added in the past 24hrs)
We request a Public Inquiry into their state pension age changes for women, which we believe have left many in a state of financial and mental despair. We believe the Government has had little or no consideration of the circumstances, historic inequality, mental health and wellbeing 1950s women.
Stop the implementation of betting affordability/financial risk checks
- 103,521 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 103,531 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to abandon the planned implementation of affordability checks for some people who want to place a bet. We believe such checks – which could include assessing whether people are ‘at risk of harm' based on their postcode or job title – are inappropriate and discriminatory.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 102,750 - 23,667 added in the past 24hrs)
Families face school fines for taking their children out of school to go on affordable holidays. This can be a particular issue for low-income families, and families with children that have additional needs, who want or need to avoid busier and more expensive periods.
Ban the sale of used power tools at car boot sales and markets
- 30,046 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 95,529 - 409 added in the past 24hrs)
We think car boot sales and markets are a major reason for tool theft from vans. Many tradespeople have their van broken into and have their tools stolen, which can deprive them of their livelihood. Replacing tools is not cheap, and we want the Government to take action to tackle tool theft.

- 75,578 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 83,110 - 160 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently the financial requirements to bring your spouse to the UK is £18,600 per year and now the Government wants to more than double it. Most people in the UK don’t make that per year. We believe this policy punishes those who fall in love with someone with a different nationality.

- 65,201 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 65,291 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
XL Bully dogs cannot be rehomed after 31/12/23, and will be illegal to own without an exemption certificate from 1/2/24. As a result many Bully dogs are being abandoned or placed in rescue. We want more time for owners to rehome or get exemptions, to avoid dogs being euthanised unnecessarily.

- 52,655 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 64,814 - 221 added in the past 24hrs)
We would like the Government to not ban flavoured e-liquids for e-cigarettes. We believe the vaping industry has helped many people quit cigarettes which contain tobacco - a product which is single handily responsible for over 8 million deaths a year across the globe (estimated by WHO).
