Rejected petition Pay for the Cost of Living with minimum 50% Windfall Tax & then <50% Borrowing
The people of the UK shouldn’t have to pay for freezing energy bills this winter, by borrowing and adding to the national debt, when the energy companies are making £170bn+ in profits.
More details
That’s why we ask that a minimum of 50% of the cost of living plan should be paid for by windfall tax and no more than 50% of the cost by borrowing.

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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition both asks that more than (<) 50% of borrowing and a maximum of 50% borrowing. If you mean less than (>) 50% borrowing then we're not sure how you'd like any gap between a 50% windfall tax and less than 50% borrowing to be funded.
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.
