UK Parliament Petitions

Review businesses' use of disability ID schemes

Stop venues only accepting one type of proof of disability. Requiring one specific type of ID isn’t always accessible or safe and stops people accessing places and services they need. We feel it is discrimination.

Launch a public inquiry into the long-term effects of national austerity

We ask the UK Government to commission a public inquiry into the long-term fiscal, social, and economic consequences of the austerity-era reductions in public spending, which, in our view, have occurred over the last 15 years.

Reduce income tax rate for parents

We want the government to change tack in tackling child poverty and our falling fertility rate by reducing the income tax rate of parents - for example by 0.5/1% for each parent for each child until they reach 18.

Create a rising tax rate system and set an effective maximum income level

We would like the current tax band system in this country to be abolished, in favour of a formulaic system, where tax is calculated from a starting income of £45,000, rising to a maximum income figure of around £250,000.

Expand the offence of wasting police time to social services and anonymous tips

We want a cap on how many false anonymous reports to social services there can be before false reporters will have consequences if it is found to be false

Government to advise recognition of level III obesity as a chronic disease

Ensure the focus of treating Morbid Obesity, which is recognised as a chronic disease by the WHO, is actually on helping people manage their weight using both surgical and non-surgical treatment and access to appropriate medications, includ

Make student maintenance loans proportional to the cost of living in each city

Currently students studying in London receive a higher student loan than students studying in other cities. Yet outside of London, the figure is uniform, despite vast disparities in the cost of living between different university locations.

Mandate licensed veterinary professional supervision after surgical procedures

We call on the Government to mandate supervision by a licensed veterinary professional following an animal having a surgical procedure.

Require social housing storage spaces for buggies of families above ground floor

Make it legal requirement for all social housing to provide a shed for children’s buggies if there is no lift and there are flats above the ground floor. They have them for bikes, so why not buggies?

Ban charity platforms charging transaction or processing fees

Ban charity platforms from charging any fees on donations. We believe platforms profit whilst charities lose funds. I was only able to find one platform that didn’t charge the charity or donors.

Require schools to obtain consent for afterschool detentions & arrange transport

Pass a law which requires schools to obtain prior parental consent for after school detentions.

Fund awareness campaigns on rape & sexual assault law for adults over 30

Fund national awareness campaigns to educate adults over 30 about rape, consent and sexual assault law so survivors can recognise crimes and seek support.

Make politically motivated vandalism a specific offence with strong penalties

Make unauthorised painting of political markings or graffiti - particularly on roads, kerbs and road signs - a specific offence. Punishments should include high fines, community orders, rapid removal paid for by the offender and even custod

One-off payment for those leaving secondary education or college

Government should give 300 - 1000 pounds to people upon finishing secondary school or college.

Introduce Emancipation law to give minors more freedom

Emancipation is a law in the US and some other counties that allows minors to gain legal independence allowing them to be treated as adults. This could be done by proving competence or financial independence. After Emancipation they could s

Amend employment law to require additional pay for Sunday working

I’d like the UK Government to mandate that anyone who works on a Sunday gets a pay increase of time and a half, since Sunday is an unsociable day to work.

Give funding to ice-cream vans to visit smaller villages

I feel that small villages are starting to become very quiet, without pubs or shops. I think having an ice cream van could allow people to buy cold drinks, instead of having to travel miles to purchase them.

Make provision for a Global BBC licence fee

The BBC is funded by the national licence fee which means it is impacted by other cost pressures and competing demands. However, many overseas residents admire the BBC content and may choose to pay for access to this, which in turn, we thin

Stop criminalising kids - raise the age of criminal responsibility to 18

Raise the age of criminal responsibility to 18, to match the age when we can vote in elections.

New legislation to regulate how online marketplaces manage seller accounts

Many small businesses rely on online marketplaces such as Amazon but may face account suspensions and withheld earnings without clear reasons or due process.

Regularly review public sector pay, and cap it at £50k per year

Top leaders in the public sector have wages higher than the average earner. Some earn more the £100k for jobs that we think the tax payer deem unfit for purpose. If these wages were paid in the private sector, we think they would be scrutin

Allow employees to claim tax relief for private medical treatment

We would like the Government to make private medical treatment an expense that employees can claim tax relief for. We believe this would enhance workplace productivity and help ease pressure on the NHS.

Require airlines to allow name changes if a passenger can’t travel

Require UK airlines to allow name changes on tickets or refunds if a passenger can’t travel. We think airlines should not force some people to buy new tickets when plans change unexpectedly.

Change the options so that pensions can be paid monthly

Bills are usually taken from bank account monthly. We think that if there was an option for the pension to be paid monthly, pensioners would be able to control their finances easier.

Fund the RSV injection for people over 79, especially the vulnerable.

Provide funding to change the window of ages for those who are offered the vaccine, from between 75-79 , to include those over 79.
