Reduce MP's salary to £50,000

Petition Details

Reduce MP's annual salary untill our economy has recovered from the effects of covid 19

Additional Information

It seems unfair that the tax payer foots the bill as a result of covid 19. The current government is due to raise the taxes this march at the same time as giving MP's another pay rise. A reduction in their annual salary to £50,000 is fair and more than enough to live on in addition to their MP allowances. Lets see "we are all in this together" in action.
