   A couple of weeks ago, @TheRealNooshu put together a petition to the UK Government, to make public websites available free of charge on mobile data. I've just been informed that the petition is now live and available to be signed: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/781594

   If you're eligible to vote in the UK, do sign if you can; New Zealand have proved it can be done, and as Matt states in the petition text, nearly 4% of people in the UK can only get online from their phone, so they shouldn't be penalised for that when trying to access government services.

   It took a little while, but my petition has finally been published on the UK Parliament petitions website! 🎉

   For people experiencing data poverty, accessing essential government services can come with a very real cost.

   Whether someone is claiming benefits, accessing health services, looking for work, finding safety advice, or simply trying to understand their rights. I don’t believe they should have to pay for mobile data to access public services they have already helped fund through taxation.

   The petition calls for UK Government websites and online services to be zero-rated, meaning they would not use a person’s mobile data allowance or require them to have paid data available.

   If you agree that public services should be 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, please consider signing and sharing the petition. Every signature helps! 🙏
