New petition: Ban local authorities refusing housing to domestic abuse victims with mortgages

Rejected petition: Stop sitting MP's from using media platforms to stealth influence the electorate
It appears that some MPs, are paid to, and profit from media airtime, during which they present a completely biased and often misleading narrative in order to influence the public; a blatant, yet somehow apparently 'permissable' method by which these people are influencing our democracy. ENOUGH!

New petition: People over the age of 65 must retake their driving test every 5 years
I think at the age of 65 you should have a retake of your driving test and continue doing so every 5 years. I don’t feel a renewal of a driving license and providing medical records are quite enough.

New petition: Government to disclose legal advice on axing local authority reorganisation

New petition: Rolling Blackouts to automatically trigger a General Election within a month
Defence of the Realm & Energy Security are primary responsibilities of the government. We feel a rolling blackout would represent a fundamental failure to meet that responsibility, which should automatically give the electorate opportunity to remove a mandate through a general election.

Passed 100,000 signatures: End the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid immediately
We call on the Government to stop the fortification of flour with synthetic folic acid. Folic acid is a medicine not a food. We believe it is unethical to mass medicate the entire population without their knowledge or consent in the hope that a minority group of people might see a benefit.

NICE says Autism assessments should start within 3 months. Recent data shows c294,792 people in England are waiting, 86.8% of whom have done so for longer than 13 weeks. For ADHD there is no standard time period at all. We want the Government to make 3 months a legal right for both.

New petition: Require a £22 per hour minimum wage and overtime play for HGV drivers
Introduce a specific minimum £22/hour wage for UK HGV drivers and mandate overtime pay. Driving heavy vehicles carries high legal risks, long hours, and severe exhaustion. We believe pay must match HGV driver daily responsibilities to reflect hazards and liability. Overtime must be legally paid.

New petition: Require stop signs at junctions from minor roads to A & B roads
The leading human factor in road casualty collisions is ineffective observation e.g. failing to look properly or misjudging the speed of approaching priority traffic. If Give Way signs at junctions from minor roads to A & B roads were changed to Stop, we think drivers would use better observation.
