Rejected petition Suspend the MP's pay rise on 1st April 19 until they make progress with Brexit.

On April fools day the MP's are due to get a pay rise of £2089. That will be 1011 days since the referendum and they have failed to make any progress. No employer would reward failure with a pay rise so why should the tax payer? The pay rise should be suspended until Parliament agrees a plan.
