Rejected petition Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, review rises for MPS and Lords

To review the pay rises given to MPs and Lords with a view to reducing them given the cost of living payments / rises given to other workers.

More details

Seems unfair that the government expects people to settle for less than they get. In this case a 7.1 per cent increase given NHS workers only got 5 per cent, how crass to expect something of others and not themselves.
