- 16,104 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 29,098 - 127 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the Government should put up the personal tax allowance to £15,000. This could help people on a low wage and help with the increase in the cost of living.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,252 - 26 added in the past 24hrs)
Under the current rules a car does not become exempt from Vehicle Tax until it is at least 40 years old. There are vehicles within the 20 to 40 year age bracket that are well loved, modern classics and without a reduction in tax, we may see these vehicles disappear from our roads.

- 136 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 455 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)

- 303 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 372 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to increase the rate of Statutory Maternity Pay to 9 months at full pay. When on maternity leave, my rent and bills don’t change, and food costs and essentials don't change, so pay for mothers shouldn't change either.
