Open Petition since 12th November 2024

Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship - 72,025 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 75,947 - 3,894 added in the past 24hrs)

Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th December 2024 (View Full Response)
The government is committed to reducing emissions from high carbon products and will continue to bring forward proposals to do so. There are currently no plans to restrict fossil fuel advertising.

Shut the migrant hotels down now and deport illegal migrants housed there - 43,672 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 75,132 - 207 added in the past 24hrs)

The Labour Party pledged to end asylum hotels if it won power. Labour is now in power.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd April 2025 (View Full Response)
We are working as fast as possible to close asylum hotels and increase the removal of people with no right to be in the UK, but we inherited an asylum system in chaos, and we cannot fix it overnight.

Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefits - 18,690 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 72,617 - 1,170 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to halt all planned benefit cuts for disabled people unable to work. Instead of reducing benefits, we want them to rise in line with inflation. We want support, not hardship and deprivation, for those who cannot work.

The Government responsed to this petition on 29th April 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government must urgently tackle the spiralling welfare bill, restore trust and fairness in the system, and protect disabled people. Social security reforms will therefore continue as planned.

Reverse changes to Winter Fuel Payment - 61,970 Signatures

We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately. We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th November 2024 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to reverse the means testing of the Winter Fuel Payment but is focusing on increasing Pension Credit take-up to ensure all eligible pensioners continue to receive support.

Extend free bus travel for people over 60 in England - 59,448 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 60,448 - 41 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the Government to extend free bus travel to all people over 60 years old in England outside London. We believe the current situation is unjust and we want equality for everyone over 60.

The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme costs around £700 million annually. Any changes to the statutory scheme must be carefully considered for their impact on its financial sustainability.

Fund free TV licences for all pensioners - 52,363 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 58,716 - 1,722 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to fund free TV licences for existing pensioners and those who reach the official retirement age. When people reach retirement age, we think they should receive a state-financed free TV licence.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th January 2025 (View Full Response)
There are a number of TV licence concessions available, including for over-75s in receipt of pension credit. There is no BBC concession to provide free TV licences for all pensioners at this time.

Raise the standard tax-free Personal Allowance to £45,000 - 47,476 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 47,637 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

The Personal Allowance is the amount of income a person can get before they pay tax. It stands at £12,570 in 2024. We would like the standard Personal Allowance raised to what we think is a more realistic figure of £45,000.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd February 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has not extended the last Government’s freeze on personal tax thresholds, meaning from April 2028 working people will keep more of their earnings as thresholds will rise by inflation.
