Stop the £20,000 personal tax free allowance the current and any future PM gets.

What the petition asks

The UK Prime Minister can benifit from a Personal Tax Allowance (PTL) of £20,000 whilst everyone else's PTL is only £11,000. This is called the 'prime ministerial expenses deduction' it's for expenses whilst living for free in 10 Downing Street. I think everybody's PTL should be the same.
