Cut MP's expenses, wages & benefits instead of hiking taxes and cutting spending

Petition Details

Why should George Osbourne announce tax hikes and spending cuts when
he cut his own tax rate in Budget change - despite claiming he wouldn't profit from it but saving him £200 a month! MP's benefits include million pound houses, food paid for on expenses and tax dodging!

Additional Information

George Osborne cut his own tax rate, he helped wealthy people's pockets each month. Houses are being claimed on expenses, they have their food shopping being brough for them and their salaries are:

George Osborne = £134,565
David Cameron = £143,462
Nigel Farage = £109,000
Borris Johnson = £121,000

All while in July 2015 it was announced that all MPs' salaries are to rise from £67060 to £74000 AND CLAIMING EXPENSES ON TOP OF THIS!! And for what?! To decide what's best for us!! Please share!
