About

A split scene showing a person sitting in a cold, dimly lit room wrapped in a blanket, symbolizing the public's struggle with energy costs, contrasted with an MP sitting comfortably in a luxurious room by a fireplace, highlighting the disparity between public hardship and government privilege.

Cut The Perks addresses growing concerns about the gap between the sacrifices people make and the perks MPs receive. Recently, the government introduced means testing for the Winter Fuel Payment, starting in 2024. As a result, millions of vulnerable people, who rely on this support, may no longer qualify. Meanwhile, MPs continue to claim expenses for energy bills, rent, and benefit from subsidised food and drinks in the House of Commons.

Thus, this imbalance raises concerns about fairness, especially as many struggle with rising costs.

The Mission

We believe that if the public is expected to tighten their belts, MPs should do the same. Therefore, this campaign aims to:

  1. End MPs’ energy bill claims during public support cuts.
  2. Halt MP pay rises for the duration of
  3. Remove food and drink subsidies in the House of Commons.
  4. Reassess unnecessary perks that MPs receive, ensuring they adhere to the same standards as the public.

Why it Matters

As energy prices rise, many vulnerable individuals now face stricter requirements for the Winter Fuel Payment. Consequently, the government’s decision to save £1.3 billion leaves many pensioners without critical support. Meanwhile, MPs still enjoy perks funded by taxpayers.

This contrast is unfair, and it calls for action.
