For all MPs to sacrifice their salary & pension contributions for 6 months.
For all MPs to sacrifice their salary (& pension contribution) for a period of 6 month as a symbol of solidarity with those who have lost their job/business as a result of the lock down.
Many members of our society have lost their source of income as a result of the lockdown measures. These 'sacrifices' have been forced on individuals by MPs who were elected and therefore have a guaranteed salary for the duration of this Parliament. In a show of solidarity I invite all MPs to sacrifice their income & pension contribution for a period of 6 months so they can experience the economic suffering they are inflicting on the rest of society.
