Remove Allowances and automatic Pay Rises from MPs.
The government says there are 'difficult choices ahead' and that our pensioners on £13k a year can now afford their heating bills unsupported, yet they keep their allowances and automatic pay rises.

Background
If the country needs difficult choices, then MPs shouldn't be immune from these. We need a change in law that removes the automatic pay rises, and MPs wage rises should be in line with expectations on public sector. If there is a cap or freeze there, so should there be with MP wages. If Public loose entitlement to allowances/support, they too should loose their allowances, they earn a lot more than most.
