While the rest of us lesser mortals struggle to pay bills, navigate HMRC and for many, learn they are not entitled to any support whatsoever during these dark times, already financially stable MP’s are being given yet another perk. 

MPs have been offered an extra £10,000 each to support them while they work from home during the coronavirus pandemic.The extra budget can be used to buy equipment such as laptops and printers for MPs and their staff, or to cover additional electricity, heating and phone bills. The money, which comes on top of the existing office budget of about £26,000 a year per MP, will be available until next March. We are requesting that Parliament discuss this allowance and identify whether the funds could be put to better use (eg PPE for frontline NHS workers.) 

This petition is an opportunity for all of us to unite and to tell those in power that we’ve had enough of the gross inequalities that exist in this country. #socialjustice #fightinequality #timeforchange
