The petition on the Parliament website, posted by a pub owner and complaining that the Prime Minister has “gone back on promises”, has been gaining more than 100,000 backers an hour.

It has also been fuelled by Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, who will be playing a major role in Donald Trump’s new government.
This is deeply humiliating for Sir Keir and critics say shows the groundswell of “anger that Labour lied” to the public at the General Election.

Although the Government has dismissed the call and it can only trigger a debate in the Westminster Hall chamber, the numbers will add to nerves in Downing Street.
Polls have been showing that Labour has taken a massive hit from a torrid first four months in power.
An internal impact assessment last week revealed that removing the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners could push 100,000 more into poverty.
Big retailers have been sending a message that the ￡25billion employer National Insurance raid in the Budget will cost jobs and push up prices.
And bosses have today said the measures will stop businesses hiring.
Meanwhile, ministers have been hit with bad economic news, with the economy struggling and inflation higher than hoped.
A poll last week found support for Labour has slumped to a new record post-election low.
Sir Keir's party is now three points behind the Tories and just six ahead of Reform. That is down two on 25% after a week of battles over its plan to make agriculturalists pay a low rate of inheritance tax.
It marks a dramatic fall from its post-election high of 39%, which gave it an 11-point lead over the Conservatives.
A second poll shows that almost three-quarters of voters now believe the UK has got worse under Sir Keir's leadership.
The surveys by More in Common were carried out between November 19 and 21 amid the fallout from Tuesday's protests in Westminster led by TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
Labour MPs have grown increasingly restive about the amount of time the Prime Minister has spent abroad since the election in July.
Last week's G20 summit in Brazil marked Sir Keir's 26th day out of the UK since July's election, with 15 international trips to 10 countries.

Sir Keir is facing another awkward moment with Friday’s landmark assisted dying vote.
His Cabinet is split over the issue and the PM has been forced to rebuke Wes Streeting for effectively campaigning against a Bill to change the law.
If MPs vote against changing the law on Friday, this will be seen as a victory for the Health Secretary.
