STOP MPs from claiming £10,000 for working at home during Coronavirus pandemic.
The London Economic published on their website today that our MPs are getting £10,000 for working at home during the Coronavirus pandemic. The MPs are already getting £26,000 a year to cover the costs of their offices.
This money should be allocated as a bonus to those on the front services or support our NHS.
It is immoral for them to get additional funds at such a time like this when there are so many people contributing their own little bit to keep the country going. Let the MPs do their own bits too.
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 UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
You can find out more about IPSA here: www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/
Donating money would be a decision for individual MPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.
