Ban MPs claiming taxpayers money to heat their second homes

Petition Details

MPs have removed the £300 winter fuel payment for pensioners, most of them claim this a month to heat their second homes. Why are we paying for this as taxpayers?

Additional Information

I would like to see this taxpayer expense removed for MPs. If it’s good enough for pensioners it should be good enough for them or are we not all in it together?
