Compulsory ID checks for gamblingBecause it is ruining peoples lives and they are afraid to speak up about it ,because clearly they realise that they have a gambling problem and if the industry is doing their job these people will be safe and able to recover from their mental health issues because gambling is a big mental illness and people don't talk about it enough2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Velislav Evtov

Equal prices across all stores!Convenience stores run by Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons, which tend to be in the centre of cities and towns as well as rural areas, have been found to charge more for the same product compared to their bigger stores. Not everyone has access to transport or the time to head to the bigger cheaper store. So customers are being forced to shell out way more just for their basics each week. Consumer group, Which! found that the difference in the price of goods can run to hundreds of pounds over the course of a year. They justify the higher prices by citing higher rent and operating costs, but when these companies are making billions in profit, should they really be charging customers more? You may live near a big supermarket and be lucky enough not to have to rely on a smaller convenience store like others do. But that choice in supermarkets also means you have the power to pressure these stores to do right by all their customers.2,405 of 3,000 Signatures

Say NO to SheinUltra-fast fashion brand Shein stands accused of exploiting workers, damaging the environment, and avoiding tax. Yet it is currently ramping up plans to sell its shares on the London Stock Exchange. US lawmakers already rejected Shein's attempt to list on the New York Stock Exchange over alleged labour malpractice and tax avoidance. We must not let them sneak in and make millions on Britain’s financial markets - not while they stand accused of horrendous exploitation of people and the planet. It’s time to say no to companies that violate workers rights, exacerbate climate breakdown, and avoid taxes. It’s time to Say No to Shein.45,617 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Say No to Shein Campaign

Stop wasting £billions on farcical and doomed technology projects!Over several decades, procurer and supplier organisations have combined to squander £billions of UK taxpayers money on techno-junk. In this regard, UK defence and government IT projects have been notoriously shambolic for decades, as indicated in: https://ukcampaign4change.com/2022/01/27/43-years-of-state-it-project-disasters-and-theyre-still-happening/ The Post Office Horizon scandal is a prime example of unreliable technology causing years of mayhem and human misery. Other corroborating factors to consider include: • The Horizon statutory inquiry uncovered weak leadership and engineering incompetence at ICL/Fujitsu and Post Office. • ICL/Fujitsu was involved in other profligate techno-farces such as Lorenzo (NHS) and Libra (MoJ). • Circa 2007, our assessment of ICL/Fujitsu did not find practices necessary for engineering dependable systems. • The Post Office NBIT project, due to replace Horizon, has turned farcical, as exposed again by Computer Weekly. Leopards and spots! • For Logica, another UK systems-house, our team devised a process for the recruitment of over 200 software engineers, based on objective competence criteria. • To quote Elon Musk about repeated failures at Boeing Starliner, "Too many non-technical managers at Boeing." Competent (qualified, trained and experienced) human assets, complying with lifecycle standards (ISO, IEC), is the only viable solution for technological progress and sustainable growth. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Human-Assets-Human-Asset-Evaluation-Human-Asset-Allen/229df82518968933a301a9dac9f05e8344e72c26 Time for competence management to be the rule (of law) for UK government departments, not the exception!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin Allen

Stop companies using '£ per month' to refer to yearly purchase plansThis IS false advertising. It IS business mispractice. It IS immoral. It creates a false sense of worth and affordability and it is aimed at adding in an additional level of mysticism within pricing structures to make the end payment total seem less daunting than it is in hopes to trick people out of the money that they are spending. Businesses need to be transparent and trustworthy, this is neither.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kirk Schwarz

Stop supermarket bosses from using misleading British food labelsSupermarkets need to stop misleading us so that they can undermine British farmers who have higher standards. They’re accused of stamping Union Jacks and “Made in Britain” on food grown abroad so you think you’re buying local but it undercuts us with cheap imports. No one should be misled about where their food comes from. With a new government in place, we need them to know exactly what the public thinks about such labelling. It’s time ministers crack down on rogue supermarket tactics - and protect farmers, customers and standards. If hundreds of thousands of us add our name to the petition calling on the Government to make sure food labels aren’t meaningless, it’ll force this issue up the agenda and ensure they protect our food standards!65,985 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Fidelity Weston, farmer at Romshed Farm in Kent

Stop reckless gambling firmsThe Gambling Commission, the industry regulator, has the power to remove operating licenses for serious failures but has not done so with a large company, preferring toothless, easily payable fines. Multi-billion-pound gambling operators see fines as a cost of business and can carry on without the need to change. But these failures are causing deaths, with up to 496 people taking their lives every year after becoming addicted to gambling. One Gamesys customer was recommended new games and promotions after losing £10,000. They've been fined just £6m for serious failures, despite their parent company Bally’s having an annual turnover of close to £2bn. The big gambling firms will never change their ways unless forced to. If they knew they could be shut down, they would be forced to behave better. It's time to let the Gambling Commission know that they must revoke licenses for serious failures to help stop the deaths.4,211 of 5,000 Signatures

Force Credit Card Companies to Limit Pay-at-Pump Reserve Amounts and Reversal PeriodThe current regulation is not fair and reasonable as the onus is then on the customer to have to raise the issue with the card issuer and/or then complain to the Financial Ombudsman. Once again a supposedly independent body takes the side of financial institutions.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Lovelady

Urge Facebook to crack down on Online ScammersI have personally witnessed the devastating effects of online scams. Vulnerable people are often conned into spending hundreds of pounds. This not only results in financial loss, it undermines their confidence, damages their friendships and discourages them from using technology (potentially making them more isolated).9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Robson

Don’t let Royal Mail slash delivery servicesRoyal Mail want to reduce their deliveries from six days a week, to just THREE. And what’s worse, the regulator Ofcom might let them get away with it. Bosses claim the current model is “not sustainable”, despite dishing out £2 billion in dividends since 2013 and a £700,000 payout for their ex-CEO last year. We can’t let them get away with this! Royal Mail have been under fire for their poor performance recently, and going down to three days a week is only going to hurt us, the public, who rely on them. We could be waiting for vital letters about medical appointments and legal documents, just so Royal Mail can make bigger profits. It’s up to the Government to make the final decision, but the only way we’ll stop this is if we show the scale of public opposition to these plans. Royal Mail and Ofcom have had their say, but what’s missing is the voice of us, the public. We, the public, won’t accept a reduced service because Royal Mail won’t take the necessary steps to improve performance. They shouldn’t enjoy bigger profits at the expense of their service to the public.60,131 of 75,000 Signatures
