Lead by example and sacrifice MP travel expenses before disability benefits

Petition Details

The UK government is continuing to pursue it's austerity policy against disabled benefit claimants with the latest cuts targeting people's ability to travel independently. We call on the government to review its own travel expenses budget first and cut this before making any further benefit cuts.
