Rejected petition Realise we're in this together, stop the £10k COVID-19 expense claim for MPs.
Simply realise what difficult times these are for families and stop the £10k COVID-19 expense claim. Think about the furlough families, think about furlough MPs? Stop this divide and unite.
When I vote next time I will be very careful as always.

Simple this crisis is going to cost industries, families and individuals allot of money and the only people getting extra money is MPs and this just isn't fair!

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for MPs' pay and expenses. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
