Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at above-inflation public sector pay rise

The chancellor says not settling the matter quickly would incur other costs to the wider economy.

….its about time Government honoured the findings of public sector pay review boards. The issue is finding the monies to pay for it.

Agreed, it is time the atmosphere of animosity was addressed and the state honoured it's commitments to it's people, and not the hot shots like truss and her cronies first and only.
The apparent choice between this option and a similar sum for the two child policy extended to three isn't going away. I can see the logic of paying more salary because it's taxable, so like all politicians do, they give with one hand then take with the other. Fiscal drag of the tax bands will be interesting if they get moved at all. There simply has to be the improved circumstances for all those neglected under the tory scum. It'll be gradual, had there been mountains of money sat waiting to be used for valuable services it would have been pilfered by mone and gove and co already.

interbred tory scum filth. Never forget.

To see a government finally giving backing of pay rises to people in the public sector is long, long overdue. I work in the education sector and to see what the Tory government have done a lone to that sector is nothing short of a disgrace. Every year the funding becomes less and less. You’ve got people coming out of uni and because schools are over flooded, learners out of control and terrible pay, they drop out after a few years because they can’t cope.

Hopefully the ones in mainstream education get the pay they deserve. Hopefully the funding can go to actually filling schools up with the right people teaching subjects that they are specialised in.

Heartening to see/hear, but I'll be very interested to see quite how the go about this:

Labour’s Bridget Phillipson: ‘I will help working-class pupils defy the odds to succeed – just as I did’

The new education secretary talks about her background, the ‘incredible state schools’ she went to, and her plans to transform the system

It's not just the money question its about not falling into the same holes New Labour did by marketizing schools which some, at the time, found created problems they were trying to solve.

Reeves is setting up claw back task force on COVID fraud which we know is in many billions.

Also, money from Rwanda scheme £10 billion has been saved by scrapping.

can anyone explain how not having an inquiry into the UKs malignant press is in the countries interest?!

S*n Keir Starmer cut a deal with his favourite newspaper magnate.

He threw obstacles in the way of Leveson 1 when DPP as well.

Scum.

All had the whip suspended, pathetic.

Introduced in April 2017 by the previous mess of a government. I am amazed there is no long term thread here for those so deeply affected, such is the strength of feeling shown now over this.

And the continuity government has kept it going.

Oh dear

It's a very poor situation, and is causing a lot of harm. Sadly they did say they wouldn't fix things or make promises without costed guarantees. This is the terrible position we have been landed in by the tory scum. Let's sack the army navy and raf off and go neutral like Switzerland to cover it?
