- 31,351 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 31,360 - 15 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to halt all planned benefit cuts for disabled people unable to work. Instead of reducing benefits, we want them to rise in line with inflation. We want support, not hardship and deprivation, for those who cannot work.

- 10,998 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,039 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
The DWP Green Paper Pathways to Work proposes what we think are devastating cuts to disability benefits. We think the Government must drop these proposals and instead begin a process of co-production with disabled peoples representative organisations to create a whole government disability strategy.

- 4,200 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,240 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the UK government to reverse the changes to Personal Independence Payments (PIP). We think these cuts unfairly target disabled people who rely on PIP for essential support. We would like fair and compassionate welfare policies that protect, not punish, the most vulnerable in society.
Legislate to mandate offer of electronic pension transfers and higher standards
- 3,446 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,207 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
You can switch banks in a week and send money instantly, so why should pension transfers take months and be so stressful? Only the government has the power to change this, so we’re asking them to take action and set clear, enforceable standards for faster, electronic pension transfers.
Introduce Statutory Menstrual Leave For People With Fibroids and PCOS
- 1,452 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,098 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to introduce statutory paid menstrual leave of up to 3 days per month for people with fibroids and PCOS, similar to Portugal’s model. We believe leave should come with strong workplace protections, be confidential and require a single annual medical certificate.
Implement measures to reduce child poverty
- 2,246 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,374 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
It’s not OK that almost a third of UK children (4.5 million) live in poverty. I want the Government to:
-Lift 620,000 children from absolute poverty by removing the 2-child limit and the benefit cap
-Increase child-related benefits in line with inflation or average earnings (whichever is higher)
Protect Disability Benefits: Stop Changes to PIP and Universal Credit
- 2,138 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,151 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the government to stop the cuts to PIP and UC. We think they will disproportionately harm disabled people. We think they should ensure PIP rises with inflation and that disabled people on UC are not financially penalised for being unable to work, not make it harder to access vital support.
Keep the state pension at 67 for those born before 1977
- 1,619 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,715 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)
Leave the state pension qualifying age as it stands at 67, for those born prior to 1977 and have planned their retirement accordingly.
Require employers give employees 3 months sick pay when cancer is diagnosed
- 146 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,165 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
I want the government to have a policy in place to help all cancer patients financially. I feel that for the first couple of months, cancer patients need to focus on their diagnosis. Having 3 months of full sick pay in place could allow them to focus on what they are dealing with.
