Petition to stop MP's receiving a pay rise and the 10k in expenses.

MP's should not be receiving a payrise at this time. It is inappropriate and quite frankly a disgrace that they are receiving even more money and expenses when our key workers are not compensated appropriately for the hard work they are currently doing.

This petition was rejected on 27th Apr 2020 for not being a Government or Parliamentary matter

MP's earn more than enough already. The rest of the country has had to endure 10 years of austerity cutbacks and we have been told to tighten our belts. MP's should lead by example. If they can't live on what they currently earn. Maybe they should sell the pony and shop at Aldi like the rest of us.
