Freeze MP pay rises until cost of living crisis is reduced — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.
Suspend all MP pay rises until measurable cost of living improvements are achieved. Set clear benchmarks such as reduced inflation and lower household energy and living costs before any increases are considered, ensuring fairness, accountability and public confidence.
Millions of people across the UK are facing rising costs for essentials such as food, energy and housing, placing significant pressure on households. At the same time, MPs receive salaries above the national average. Continuing pay increases during this period risks undermining public trust. A temporary pause would demonstrate fairness, accountability and leadership, showing that those in power recognise and share the financial challenges faced by the public.
