Disgusting use of OUR money.

Pay the public sector the money THEY DESERVE.

Give mps and pay cut and pay freeze for the next 10 years or until the economy gets back to what it was.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

You can find out more about IPSA here: https://www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
