Tighten rules and cut back on what expenses MP's can claim.

Petition Details

Tighten the rules and cut back on what expenses MP's can claim as many take advantage of taxpayers money and claim extortionate amounts on top of their annual salary.

Additional Information

Johnny Mercer, Conservative MP for Plymouth Moor View, claimed an extortionate £246,930.60 in the year of 2022. How is claiming almost £4750 a week of taxpayers money, on top of his normal salary, reasonable?

Cut backs have been made in all other aspects of government and life in general so why not here?
