What the petition asks
Whilst the UK is undergoing some of the most savage cuts to public services ever the House of Commons bars serve drinks subsidised by the UK taxpayer. This must stop.
Why is this important?
When so many people are reliant on food banks and tax credits and the number of people living on the poverty line is rising it is disgusting that we should be waisting money on subsidising cheap drinks for MP's.
