This would not replace ‘God Save the King’ as the UK anthem, but provide England with its own official anthem for national representation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-07-03T17:40:43.137Z","updated_at":"2026-07-13T09:24:12.402Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-13T09:23:09.368Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-04T08:08:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do.
