MP's to give their 2020 £2,505 Pay increase back to the NHS. - CAPTAIN TOM!

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The MPs blocked a pay increase to NHS workers - They are on the frontline doing a awesome job at the moment!! They should feel ashamed they took that pay increase when so many are struggling.

If every MP (around 600) decided to put that £2505 into Captain Tom's charity that would give an additional £1,503,000 to the charity - the British public have so far donated £7,651,301. We could get that total to 10M for all the HEROS!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
