HM Government must not erode benefits for Britons as part of the EU referendum

Closed 194 signatures

What the petition asks

The Prime Minister is trying to clinch a deal with the Countries which make up the European Union. The proposal currently 'on the table' will hurt thousands of British low earners and is indefensible. This proposal needs to be rejected outright as the grubby proposal that it is.
