- 107 Signatures

On 23 July 2023, the Government announced the introduction of a Humanitarian Medal. We believe it is a positive step that people will be recognised for their efforts in the future, but that people should be awarded this medal for past service during the pandemic.

- 231 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 254 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban party donors from Lords & eject donor peers (with possible reappointment)
- 100 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 198 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The latest list of honours has provoked renewed concern about appointments to the House of Lords. We believe too many appointments are made after significant donations, which can appear improper even where it is not. The simplest solution is not to allow party donors to be appointed to the Lords.
