Stop MP’s getting 10k in expenses while COVID 19 is going on
Stop MP’s from getting 10k in expenses while COVID 19 is going on. Any extra expenses taken should be paid back within a year.
Thousands of people are taking pay cuts, loosing jobs or getting furloughed but MP’s get extra for staying and working at home. While many MP’s are also flouting the rules of social distancing and lockdown. It isn’t fair those in power can get extra and can do what they want yet Joe public cannot , what happened to lead by example.
