MP expenses should be no more than JSA

Petition Details

According to JSA Guidelines the law says you can survive on approx £73 per week, yet MP expenses regularly exceed this, sometimes within a single meal, while millions rely on foodbanks. the government should be able to justify one on context of the other.
