(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,495 - 180 added in the past 24hrs)
I don't think the cost of living crisis is going away anytime soon, however the Government intend to make the final payment in February 2024. I think many low income households are going to be feeling the impact of rising cost of living and will need support throughout the year.

- 25,231 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,437 - 20 added in the past 24hrs)
Most benefit claimants are not fraudsters, and we believe Ministers are taking too aggressive an approach towards benefit claimants, in a way which denies freedom and rights of privacy, and seems to treat all benefit claimants like fraudsters.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,293 - 59 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.
