Stop increasing MPs wages and instead increase nurses pay. They save lives...!!
Nurses pay has been limited yet members of parliament pay is increasing...for doing what?! Working 15 hour days? No chance. As well as making future nurses pay for fees without a hope in hell of living whilst learning, there is already a major shortage and our nurses are being run to the ground.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay. That power was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010, so that after 2012 MPs no longer had control over their own pay. IPSA conducted a public consultation after 2012 and decided what the salaries of MPs should be after the election.
If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:

We already have a petition about nurses' pay open on the site:
