What the petition asks
The government have given a lot of publicity and backing to the empty gesture of clapping for health and care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. But people can't use goodwill and congratulatory gestures to pay their bills! Let's ensure that they are treated as they treat public sector in future!
To link future pay increases for our MPs to those given to our nurses, fire fighters, police and other public sector workers.
