Abolish interest charges on student loans - 24,564 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,614 - 25 added in the past 24hrs)

Cancel interest charges on all student loans. We believe placing this burden on the backs of those that want to succeed in life is abhorrent and short-sighted. These charges penalise our brightest and best, the very people that contribute the most to society.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd March 2026 (View Full Response)
Student loans are heavily subsidised by government. To be fair to taxpayers and low earners, those who financially benefit should contribute to the cost. Adding interest to loans is one way to do this

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,839 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

Codify in statute clear and binding obligations for MPs on time spent in their constituency and in Parliament. We think that leaving it to convention unfortunately allows a minority to abuse the system.

We want the Government to stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance (LSA) which compensates British service personnel for unavoidable extended time away from their families due to deployments and training.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Longer Separation Allowance recognises the impact of time away from home. It is taxed like salary under UK tax law, and there are currently no plans to change this.

Automatically remove parental responsibility for parents convicted of abuse - 18,703 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,575 - 87 added in the past 24hrs)

We want to change the law to automatically remove parental responsibility from parents convicted of abuse. We feel children being required to see their abusive parents and allowing them to still make decisions regarding the child's life is abuse in itself and may cause more suffering.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd July 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to undertaking a review of the law about parental responsibility in its entirety.

We are tackling the underlying causes that can make period products unaffordable. By protecting women’s living standards, and the public services they use, we can ensure access to life's essentials.
