Abolish all taxpayer-funded expenses for government employees

What the petition asks
We urge the Government to abolish all taxpayer-funded expenses for government employees. We believe their wages should be used to cover all work-related costs. We believe this could ensure fairness, transparency, and responsible use of public funds, and set an example for financial accountability.
Some hardworking people across the UK have to cover all work-related costs from their wages, and we do not believe government employees should be any different. We think taxpayer-funded expenses create unfair privileges and waste public money. We believe scrapping them could ensure fairness, accountability, and trust in leadership.
