Freeze MPs pay and applaud them instead.
To freeze MP's salaries until after the next general election. We can recognise their contributions to society by clapping for them instead. Let's see how they like being treated like they do nurses and other key workers.
Because NHS workers are more important than politicians and deserve the cash more than MPs do, but the government seem to think that public applause will make up for a continuing pay freeze. Let's freeze their pay and replace any rises with an empty gesture to see how they like it.
