Restrict the use of disclaimers by police to relinquish ownership of dogs

Currently police can seize dogs under section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act (DDA) and can then ask the owners to relinquish ownership by agreeing to sign a disclaimer. We want police not to be allowed to use these disclaimers until a dog has

Strengthen UK animal welfare laws on breeding, sales, and cruelty bans for life

We call for stronger UK animal welfare laws: licensing for all breeding (incl. rabbits), better enforcement of cat neutering from unlicensed breeders, tighter online kitten/puppy sales rules, and lifetime bans for serious or repeat animal c

We ask the Government to formally review recent changes to the Right to Buy scheme and consider reversing these where these amendments can be shown to have negatively affected long-term social housing tenants.

Fund COVID booster vaccines for the general public

Give funding for the COVID-19 booster to be available for anyone who wants to get it.

Review the Expensive Car Supplement

Review the Expensive Car Supplement and whether it only applies to genuinely luxury vehicles. Consider Raising the £40,000 threshold or exempting EVs and hybrids, as many family cars can now exceed this price due to inflation and technology

Make Government & Politics a compulsory, core subject in schools

With plans to reduce the voting age for the next election to 16, we believe there's a greater need to introduce Government & Politics as a standalone, core subject in secondary schools.

Require companies to have a disability absence policy

Legislate to ensure that companies are required to hold a disability absence policy and enforce clearer and more transparent reasonable adjustments. Require large organisations to establish formal policies addressing disability-related abse

Make bus travel free for secondary school students

Some buses have increased their bus fares (the maximum fare cap has now increased from £2 to £3) . Many bus fares around England have gone up which means school children will have to pay higher amounts just to get from Point A to B.

Review how to protect jobs from being taken by AI technology

We think the government needs to create job security amongst people and protect jobs from AI so people don’t end up homeless or fighting for money. We think it should review how to best do this.

Fund free public transport for diagnosed autistic people

I would like people with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to qualify for free use of public transport. I think this should require a verifiable diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and should be a physical item like a bus pass

Review the NHS emergency treatment system

We think there should be a review of the emergency treatment system. There have been reports of people being sent home, without proper treatment, and then losing their lives.

Add Allstar Cheerleading to the approved activities for GCSE and A-level PE

Allstar cheer demands elite athleticism, strength, and precision. We believe it is unfairly excluded from PE specs, depriving students of academic credit for their primary sport. We think updating the curriculum to include cheer ensures fai

The Government must get Natural England to change its grazing rules to take account of unique local circumstances & species, like Dartmoor’s native ponies which are under threat unless changes are made. New contracts could remove up to 90%

Provide extra funding to primary schools for swimming and water safety

We believe this is a petition everyone urgently needs to get behind. Too many lives have already sadly been lost through open water incidents. Many of these tragedies can be prevented through proper swimming and water safety education.

Close the loophole that allows the Royal Family to not be subject to UK tax, and require them to pay inheritance tax and capital gains tax just as every other UK resident is.

Fund screening for prostate cancer for all men over 50 years of age every 2 years. Men with higher PSA levels, higher risk or family history should be screened more frequently. Men over 70 years of age should be monitored on a case by case

We want the Government to enhance the legal rights of HM Armed Forces personnel by providing funding to them for legal advice and representation in Service matters from the legal representative of their choice.

Ban private car parking companies

I want the government to ban private parking companies. They make thousands of pounds from parking fines. I believe many who are served fines are hard-working people either enjoying a weekend with family, or meeting friends to socialise in

Require dementia training for all patient-facing NHS staff

We believe that people with dementia face avoidable harm in hospitals due to inconsistent training and poor accountability. We need mandatory dementia training for all staff and national standards to ensure safe, compassionate, and consiste
