Repeal the Climate Change Act 2008 and Net Zero targets - 19,902 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 20,347 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

We consider that Parliament must revoke The Climate Change Act 2008 and related Net Zero targets as since 2008 when The Climate Change Act became law many hundreds of scientists up to the highest Nobel Laureate level have jointly declared "There is no climate emergency".

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th February 2025 (View Full Response)
There is no ‘two-sided’ debate on anthropogenic climate change. The Government’s policy to support ambitious action on climate change reflects the overwhelming scientific consensus.

Open Petition since 15th November 2024

Require all businesses and public services to accept cash payments - 16,835 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,936 - 90 added in the past 24hrs)

We would like the Government to pass a law that requires the right to pay for goods and services with cash. This could include a legal framework that includes penalties for outlets that refuse cash payment and mandates the maintenance of local cash handling infrastructure by the banking sector.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th December 2024 (View Full Response)
It is for individual organisations to decide whether to accept cash as a form of payment. However, existing regulation protects access to cash and supports the ability of organisations to accept cash.
Open Petition since 12th December 2024

An independent evaluation of the Cass review on child gender services - 17,091 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,614 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe that trans healthcare should be based on unbiased research that is peer reviewed. We think that the Cass review's findings have led to restrictive practices that are being directly felt by transgender children.

The Government responsed to this petition on 14th January 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government and NHS England are fully committed to implementing all recommendations from the independent and evidence based Cass Review. We do not support an independent evaluation of the Review.

Solar power is key to our Clean Power 2030 ambition. We have no plans to ban solar on farmland. All projects go through a rigorous planning process. Increasing rooftop solar remains a top priority.

Hold a referendum to decide if the UK should leave the ECHR. - 16,847 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,329 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the government to arrange a public referendum on the UK’s membership in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This referendum could allow UK citizens to determine if we should continue adhering to the ECHR or establish independent human rights standards.

This Government is fully committed to the ECHR and does not propose to support the holding of a referendum on UK membership.

Change the law, so that UK citizens can force an immediate General Election - 13,029 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,207 - 103 added in the past 24hrs)

A vote of no confidence in the Government can only be called by parliament. We believe this leaves majority governments in an almost untouchable position. We think governments can break promises or make decisions that are destructive and the electorate can do nothing until the next election.

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th April 2025 (View Full Response)
It is a core principle of our constitution that the government of the day holds office by virtue of its ability to command the confidence of the House of Commons. There are no plans to change this.

Reverse Cadet Forces Funding Cuts by Min of Defence and the Dept of Education. - 16,980 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,060 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

The govt have recently halved funding to State School Cadet units and Cadet Force Adult Volunteer Allowances. This is leading to reductions in activities and we think having a highly destructive impact on young people across the UK. We think this particularly impacts those from poorest backgrounds.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd January 2025 (View Full Response)
Resource constraints have impacted across all areas of Education and Defence including support to Cadet activity. Cadet funding is kept under review and must be balanced against other priorities.
