Mps to no longer be able to claim expenses on food, heating, travel and rent

Petition Details

As mango public sector jobs can't claim on as many expenses as Mps, this should now stop. Tax payers should no longer fund MPs food, heating, travel or rent on second homes. Mps should now earn a living instead of stealing one

Additional Information

MPs are complete detached from working class and the poor living in the UK. Ministers receive an average salary of 85k to 150k. But can claim back twice that amount in expenses. Tax payers money should be better spent on public services and not service the political class
