​ Came across this petition in the governments petition site, it only has 650 signatures attached. I think it can get a lot more:

End the mandatory meat requirement in English school meals

Remove the mandatory requirement in the Requirements for School Food Regulations 2014 requiring maintained schools and academies to serve meat or poultry three days per week. We believe this rule conflicts with environmental goals and health guidance on reducing meat consumption.

In England you can (and should!) register to vote from age 16 up.

In Scotland and Wales it's from age 14 up, for the Scottish Parliament/Senedd elections.

Presumably England will drop to 14 soon too, as votes at 16 were being promised everywhere by Labour.

Could London eventually approve its own transport projects without Whitehall delays?

The Mayor of London could gain the power to approve major transport upgrades without central government approval under an amendment that was proposed in Parliament.
