Fully fund Specialist Palliative Care provided by hospices
- 8,812 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 9,085 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)
Hospices provide vital care yet are dependent on fundraising. Palliative care costs are lower in a hospice than hospital. UK hospices are in financial crisis, having to drastically reduce specialist services for patients and their families or face closure. Hospices urgently need appropriate funding.

Revoke the BBC Royal Charter, abolish the TV Licence Fee & privatise the BBC
- 5,838 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 6,810 - 31 added in the past 24hrs)
Abolish the mandatory TV licence fee and revoke the BBC’s Royal Charter. Legislate to transition the BBC into a private corporation, as they did with BBC Studio's. We believe the BBC should compete independently in the media market without state funding & Royal Charter rights, akin to BBC Studios.

When medical cannabis was rescheduled in 2018 to allow specialist prescribing, many patients were left behind without NHS access. Families call them the “Forgotten Children of 2018”. Many rely on this treatment to control life-threatening conditions but must pay privately or go without.

- 5,703 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,742 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

Reform Carer’s Allowance rules so carers can earn more without losing support
- 5,260 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,492 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)
Many unpaid carers balance demanding caring responsibilities with the need to remain financially secure. We believe the current limit allowable for carers to earn is set way too low. It makes it difficult for carers to work, take on a second job, or rent out property to supplement their income.
