Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The average salary in the UK is £35,423. All mps Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock in an act of solidarity to the millions of people their actions have impoverished to reduce their salaries to the UK average which will remain in place until all restrictions are lifted and the corona act repealed.

The actions of the Governemnt voted on by MP'S is directly responsible for 100s of thousands of small buissneses being destroyed and millions impoverished. The government continues to receive huge salaries way above the UK average with huge expenses packages. This is a kick in the teeth to those who's livilhoods have been destoryed. In an act if solidarity and decency it is only right those who inflicted these conditions receive at most the UK average salary and restricted expenses.
