UK Parliament Petitions

Do not implement the Independent Sentencing Review and hold further review

We want a further review of sentencing, looking at the impact on policing and public safety, and holding extensive consultation with the victims of crime. We think the impact on their mental health has not been addressed.

Review consumer contract laws to stop non-agreed charges in construction

We urge the Government to review consumer contract laws to prevent builders from using the threat of stopping agreed contractual work to make contractors pay extra, non-agreed or retrospective payments. We believe these practices can exploi

Provide funding so refuge spaces are free for all

We want the Government to ensure refuge spaces are free to anyone in need, regardless of income to enable everyone to find a safe haven when they need it. We feel that victims should not have to pay rent.

Exempt employed British passport holders from paying income tax

We want the Government to exempt employed British passport holders from paying income tax

Ban 8 hour a week employment contracts

I want 8 hours a week employment contracts to be banned for good as they can make it hard to afford to save up to achieve milestones like buying a house, learning to drive etc.

Review the primary school curriculum to prepare children for secondary school

We urge the Government to review the national curriculum taught in primary schools to ensure Year 6 students are prepared for the transition to secondary school.

Grant self-governing powers to Yorkshire

We propose the Government grant devolution to Yorkshire and give Yorkshire self-governing powers that are equivalent to that of a crown dependency, like the Isle of Man.

Require parliamentary supermajority for certain overseas military action & bases

Prohibit UK military action in conflicts outside of Europe where NATO is not collectively engaged as an alliance unless: a) A direct threat to the UK is established, and b) A Parliamentary supermajority (e.g., two-thirds of MPs) votes in fa

Review and fund mental health support for children under 10

We want the Government to review children's mental health services. We want better early intervention for younger children. We feel that children shouldn’t have to suffer for years until they hit breaking point at 10/11 years old before the

Tax Relief for Blue Light Workers

Introduce a tax relief for Blue Light workers taking on extra shifts or working second jobs to ensure fair compensation. I think that high tax rates reduce earnings and discourage extra work.

Change cold weather payments so it's a daily payment

We think the Cold Weather Payment should reflect daily costs, not just a weekly threshold. Heating a home costs the same per day regardless of whether the cold snap lasts 3 days or 7. Introduce daily payments for each day the temperature st

Introduce a licensing system for all mobile phones in the UK, including contract and pay-as-you-go devices. Require phones to be verified and linked to an account holder, ensuring they are genuine, secure, and preventing counterfeit phones

Provide an exact number of prisoners who have murdered children aged under 16

I want the figures to be published on a twice-a-year basis. The announcement should be presented in layman's terms and categorised as to whether sexual or non-sexual.

Deduct private health care charges from NI contributions.

I would like the government to introduce the option for those people who are working to take out private healthcare cover. The charges they pay will be deducted from their national insurance contributions once it has been calculated.

Ban Variable Direct Debits

Ban the use of Variable Direct Debit. We think this leaves consumers in an unfair position as they may get multiple bills and multiple amounts are taken from their bank account per month.

Lower the application age for the police to 16 and allow appointment at 17

As you can join the army at 16, we think you should be able to apply for the police at that age too.

Make producers pay the end-of-life costs of short-lived plastic products

Introduce Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements to producers and importers of short-lived, and difficult-to-recycle plastic products, which currently are outside of the EPR framework. Proposal shifts the burden from the taxpay

Immediately start a programme of constructing desalination plants around the UK

Immediately begin construction of a network of desalination plants to supplement existing water resources.

Remove VAT from sunscreen and sunblock

Skin cancer is increasing in the UK, with around 3,800 deaths reported annually. We believe sunscreen and sunblock should not be subject to VAT due to being a cosmetic product, and should be fully exempted from VAT.

Review and strengthen CMS investigations of paying parent income

We want the Government to review and strengthen Child Maintenance investigations to ensure hidden or understated income are identified, including through financial and lifestyle evidence, ensuring children receive a fair contribution from b

Introduce regional stamp duty thresholds for first-time buyers

Ban travel insurance companies’ premium hikes for people who take medication

Ban travel insurance companies charging a premium for people who take medication, for example for high blood pressure and cholesterol. We think this is unnecessary if the person is taking their medication has their condition under control.

Ban Isolation as a sanction in schools

The isolation sanction, which is widely used in schools, should be banned and replaced with something more effective and less psychologically distressing for students.
