Put Jane Austen on the £5 note and Clement Attlee on the £10 note
It is political to put aristocrat Winston Churchill, who was voted out of office as soon as possible, on the £5 note. In the name of fairness we should have Jane Austen on the £5 note, and Clement Attlee, creator of the NHS, on the £10 note.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Bank notes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.
