End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 106,717 Signatures

Many tests on dogs and other animals cause unimaginable suffering. They can translate poorly into effective treatments and cures for human diseases or provide safety and efficacy data that is not relevant to humans.

Give the British Public the Right to Vote No Confidence in the Government - 120,164 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 120,414 - 226 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on Parliament to pass a law giving the British public the power to trigger a vote of no confidence in the ruling government.
Currently, only MPs can do this. We believe the public should also have the democratic right to express when they’ve lost trust in those elected to lead.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th September 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government holds office by virtue of being able to command the confidence of the House of Commons, whose members are elected by the public. There are no plans to change these arrangements.

Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 79,578 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 109,328 - 6,149 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to introduce a new tax code for state pensioners, set at double the basic threshold. If this was implemented, pensioners would receive a higher tax-exempt limit, but wealthier pensioners would still pay tax.

The State Pension is the foundation of support for pensioners. The Government is committed to a fair tax system but doubling the Personal Allowance for pensioners would be untargeted and costly.

The government is launching a consultation and a national conversation to gather views and drive action to keep children safe online, including seeking views on a social media ban for children.
