MPs should not receive the pay rise set out by ISPA in April.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

ISPA has said MPs should have a pay rise of 2.7%

The use of food banks is growing, universal credit is pushing people in to debt, NHS services are being cut, council taxes are rising, Brexit is an utter shambles.

Our MPs do not deserve this.
