338,000 now.

The debate and government response will be to put signatories back in their box,

Starmer doesn’t need lectures from the likes of us - the electorate.

Petition: Call a General Election

I would like there to be another General Election. I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.

Means nothing. it's about 0.5% of the voting population and you'd get enough people who are hardcore supporters of other parties to reach that number.

If we paid attention to it we'd be having geneeral elections every three months regardless of the party in power.

Everything seems to be moving in exactly the wrong direction, implying that the much anticipated Labour competence was, in fact, a myth.

They had 14 years to have a jolly good think about what they would do.

It's heading in the same direction as under the Tories, using very similar methods, so if it does imply Labour incompetence it also highlights how incompetent the Tories are.

The only thing that makes me sanguin about the current situation is that I'm sure it's slightly better than if the Tories had retained power, who'd be doing similar things but taken way further.

There isn't going to be a general election, regardless of how many signatures a petition gets.

The snowflake crybabies on the right can't handle not being in power after 14 years of it and it's quite amusing to watch.

True but there’s no other way of expressing dissatisfaction not many people won’t be effected by the proposals - accepted that the Tories didn’t do a brilliant job - but at least the prime minister was about to accept criticism - Starmergeddon on a permanent world tour taking 470 people to Cop 24 ffs - should have just sent the muppet Milliband on his own - plenty of issues here to sort out and as for Rachel Reeves she’s was just a greeter at a building society

you can't fix everything over night after 14 years but what I struggle to understand is how they didn't have some easy wins lined up.

there has to be things they could come in and do pretty much instantly that would get a positive response and / or make a difference to people.

at the moment it just seems more of the same. there were people comparing Starmer to Biden in that we just need sensible, boring, grown up politics but the way things are going he will end up exactly the same as Biden, out after one term.

You could go on a protest which judging from the farmers protest the previous government have now changed their minds about. Have very quickly gone from wanting protesters locked up to joining them

They seemed to have some early losses sorted though,
