Rejected petition Stop expenses and reduce the £91,346 pay that MP earn

To review all expenses by MPs this means every claim they put under expenses and to cut down the £91,346 pay that they earn. Surely this will reduce the £24 billion black hole labour keeps reminding us of.

More details

As Labour stated that the finances are in disarray as they "inherited" from the last government. They need to look into their own government spending as the Prime Minister have said that we should all be in this together and tough times are ahead for everyone. Lately I haven't heard any news of MPs being affected by cuts.
