All MPs take voluntary pay cut of 5% & government ministers a pay cut of 10%.
The UK government is proposing no pay rise for public sector workers and a measly 1% rise for NHS workers. MPs should show leadership by taking a pay cut. Most people in public sector will not be getting any pay rise either.
MPs are by most people’s standards very well paid and need to show leadership in this matter.

Voluntary pay cuts would be a matter for individuals.
