(Estimated Final Signatures: 230,299 - 775 added in the past 24hrs)

Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.

Nationalisation would take years and involve complex legal processes, diverting effort from cleaning up rivers, lakes and seas. We are taking action now through stronger regulation and enforcement.

Make all court and tribunal transcripts available free of charge - 202,973 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 204,526 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

Make all court and tribunal transcripts available for free. Currently, fees can reach thousands, creating a "paywall" for justice. All legal records should be public property to help ensure transparency, allow for fair appeals, and support victims. Access to the law should not depend on wealth.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd March 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is already increasing transparency in the courts, including expanding free access to Crown Court sentencing remarks. Going further now would place even more pressure on the system.

The law must change so intended parents in surrogacy arrangements are recognised as their child’s legal parents from birth. Families should not have to go through months of court proceedings and social worker visits to be recognised as the parents of a child they planned and love.
