Prevent MPs from receiving pay rises before others on the public sector.
Since 2010 MPs in England have received a pay rise from £65k to nearly £82k, beyond the rate of inflation, and during austerity measures which saw real wages for the public sector such as the NHS and schools fall.
I propose that legislation is brought in to prevent any pay rise to MP’s salaries before the rest of the public sector. The majority of MPs are already financially secure and do not require pay rises especially when there are nurses and teachers forced to use food banks because of their dedication to their profession. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/mps-get-8-pay-rises-in-10-years-while-nurses-salaries-are-slashed/12/08/
