Rejected petition Stop MPs receiving any further pay increases until the next general election.

There is currently a cost of living crisis causing complete mayhem in this country, people having to choose whether to pay bills of eat. In the circumstances I think it would be wrong of MPs to accept any further increase in salary until the people they serve are in a better place financially.

More details

It would be morally wrong for MPs to receive any further pay increases while telling the public to "tighten their belts", and that we "should not expect too much in way of wage increases."
