Rejected petition Reduce all MP salaries to £2,500 per month until the pubs re-open

I want the Government to end the lock down so that the economy can get moving again and the country can start to recover

More details

The current lock down has destroyed the economy and it will take years to recover. MP are not affected by this as their salaries are paid in full while others are losing their jobs and business. It might concentrate the minds of the MP's if they were in the same position as others
