We want the Government to reform Attendance Allowance so that people with mobility issues can get a mobility element for this benefit, and so access the Motability Scheme. This would bring Attendance Allowance in line with PIP and DLA.

- 3,178 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,510 - 132 added in the past 24hrs)
We think research on TSW is crucial in creating diagnostic criteria, also to inform prevalence and aid in prevention. There’s growing awareness about the potential side effects of topical steroids, but until there is more action to address this, we are concerned patients will continue to suffer.
Reduce Vehicle Tax for cars aged between 20 and 40 years old
- 12,876 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,470 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
Under the current rules a car does not become exempt from Vehicle Tax until it is at least 40 years old. There are vehicles within the 20 to 40 year age bracket that are well loved, modern classics and without a reduction in tax, we may see these vehicles disappear from our roads.

Developers must be required to conduct hedgehog surveys & implement mitigation measures.

Terrorism legislation should be amended to require all broadcasters regulated by Ofcom to describe all terrorist organisations proscribed in the UK and their operatives as “terrorists” and not by any descriptor, such as “militants”, which does not make their terrorist nature clear.

We consider that Parliament must revoke The Climate Change Act 2008 and related Net Zero targets as since 2008 when the 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".

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,806 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the MHRA should be reviewed. This should include its approval processes, its monitoring of safety of existing products, its transparency and accountability, and its mechanisms to ensure patient safety is prioritised over commercial interests.
