Give emergency services, NHS and social workers a pay rise or stop the MP rise.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament have frozen emergency services pay rise despite the cost of living increasing drastically and are paying persons earning £80000+ even more.

They haven’t rewarded the efforts of the front line and this is a mockery.

You need to respect your front line and most pressured services who are repeatedly being let down by this current government.

Mental health pressures, extreme burnout, repeated abuse all whilst the wealthy are being given an increase.
