Freeze MP salary, benefits and expenses for 2021/2022
Government has said many Public Sector workers are to have salary freezes to offset cost of COVID. MPs should instruct the 'independent' bodies who arrange their salary/expenses/office budgets (like budget for home offices £10k) to freeze their salaries / expense rates / budgets for 2021/2022
Many people have been hit very hard by COVID; job losses, zero hours, furloughed then made redundant. Small businesses, shops, hotels and restaurants dont have money to support them; no regular salary increases for these people. The government pledged to do all it can; take some pain along with the rest of us. Salaries of £83k far more than the avg worker. It is time you really showed you care about COVID and the cost by enduring some 'hardship' by freezing your own costs.
