Rejected petition Reduce MP’s wages by 2% to give NHS workers pay rise

I would like the government to think about reducing MP’s wages to free up cash to give the NHS workers a better rate of pay, after all the COVID-19 they deserve it.

More details

I believe they are the most important people in the country at the moment, there would be so many extra deaths if we didn’t have NHS staff. And as MP’s are voted in by the public then we should have a say where our public money goes.
