Rejected petition Furlough all MP,s pay during this crisis.

Reduce MP,s salary to the furlough scheme rate until they find a proper solution to this crisis.

More details

The lack of compassion shown for example the free school meals situation shows our MP,s do not understand the hardships being felt by many people in the country, maybe if they too had a financial reduction they may better appreciate their actions can have serious impacts on the countries poorest and most vulnerable.
