Rejected petition Reduce MP's salary to £50,000

Reduce MP's annual salary untill our economy has recovered from the effects of covid 19

More details

It seems unfair that the tax payer foots the bill as a result of covid 19. The current government is due to raise the taxes this march at the same time as giving MP's another pay rise. A reduction in their annual salary to £50,000 is fair and more than enough to live on in addition to their MP allowances. Lets see "we are all in this together" in action.
