Reduce MP pay by 2% to show that the house stands with affected NHS workers

Petition Details

Per the title, if our books cannot justify the promised 3% pay rise to NHS workers, MPs should show solidarity and take a 2% earnings cut

Additional Information

It is unjustifiable to say the government cannot make promised pay rises while ensuring MPs salaries continue to grow - without the NHS staff, you'd have all caught covid
