All MPs to take a pay cut to 80% of their salary
All UK MPs to take a pay cut to 80% of their salary in line with the majority of the country. MP's may talk about being 'in it together' but they sit in a secure and subsidised environment. This pay cut and the money raised can contribute towards the Corona Pandemic by helping those affected.
Parliament have ignored the self employed and are closing large sectors of the economy. They don't had the slightest concept of how this feels. Perhaps a 20% pay cut may help them focusing on the needs of the country as a whole

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.
