Rejected petition UK government ministers and public service chief executives take a 20% pay cut

In New Zealand, Ms Ardern has given herself, government ministers and public service chief executives a 20% pay cut to show solidarity with the people of New Zealand. We apparently can't afford to give all of our public sector workers need a pay rise. So we call on our MP's to stand with us.

In New Zealand, Ms Ardern has given herself, government ministers and public service chief executives a 20% pay cut. We call on out government workers and MP's to do the same and support the economy and the UK people in these times.
Public sector workers have struggled under austerity for too long while we see tax breaks handed out to millionaires. It's time for out MP's to put their money where their mouths are !
