Stop MPs' perks and pay rises while public services face cuts.
We urge the Government to end unnecessary perks for MPs, including expense claims for energy bills, rent, and subsidised food and drinks. Additionally, all MP pay rises should be frozen to reflect the financial hardships faced by the public. MPs must lead by example and share the sacrifices.

Background
Millions of people in the UK face rising costs and cuts to vital support like the Winter Fuel Payment, forcing them to choose between heating and eating. Meanwhile, MPs benefit from taxpayer-funded perks and pay rises. This is unfair and creates a disconnect. Removing these perks and halting pay rises would show solidarity with the public, restore trust, and ensure that MPs face the same financial realities as those they represent
