This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you are concerned about the cost of living, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The Government is not directly responsible for the price of food. We can accept petitions calling for additional financial support for certain people, but you'd need to be clear what additional support you want the Government to provide, and who you want to receive this.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
