Rejected petition Prevent another pay rise for MP’s
The government have been continuously getting pay rises, meanwhile refusing to give the nhs a pay rise despite them putting their lives on the line every day. MP’s are paid enough as it is and don’t need a pay rise, especially at a time of economic crisis.
More details
It is immoral and wrong. The amount of people under the bread line has increased massively, the only jobs out there are hugely competitive and the last thing to be denting the economy is another pay rise for MP’s
