Bedroom Tax
Pasty Tax
More foodbanks than McDonald's
Capability for Work assessments
Benefit sanctions
Libraries closed

Royal Mail privatisation
Health & Social Care Act 2012

There are going to be a lot of upset doctors, nurses and civil servants etc once they see what is going to happen to their mums and dads regarding fees for care homes and watch any potential inheritance they may have had disappear….

That's a wild take, and possibly the most Tory take I've seen you write on here

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I’ve said earlier that pay in the lower reaches of health, education etc should be addressed, but we all know it will be applied across the board, and those who are already well remunerated will just pick up a bigger wedge. In the same way Reeves is targeting the more wealthy pensioner with her Winter allowance cut, pay rises in the public sector should be done by who needs what, but we all know that will not happen……

It's not quite apples with apples, but here is a senior strategy manager role in the NHS - pay up to 72k

Senior programme manager role in a random aerospace firm that you may be familiar with - pay up to 80k.

Which one is overpaid do you reckon?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

That ignores the fact that interest payments alone last year were nearly £120bn. You can't act like borrowing is something with no consequences. The huge levels of borrowing after Covid and the financial crisis have left us with an annual legacy that sees as much going on debt interest as we spend on education.

Enjoy it. I hate the tories, but these will be worse and I've voted labour for 32 years before this election.

People who do this for a living are likening it to the Wilson government

Historians of the Labour party put Britain’s new government into context

A majority of historians surveyed on Labour’s record in office believed it had a positive record on the economy.

Many have gone down Goves no more experts.

It's refreshing and nice to have some positivity and seeing a Govt working collaboratively with sectors rather than the non-stop clashing and strikes and belittling we saw for over a decade.

School strikes unlikely in England after 5.5% pay offer

Unions call it a 'positive start' to restoring teacher wages, which have fallen in real terms since 2010.

You could always have donated it to Help the Aged…

….you don’t know who I already donate monies too or how much.

Reform?

Most people live in the now not in some vain hope they get some inheritance. We've virtually paid mortgage off not having any inheritance money, just our own hard work and toil. Not because there was none, just parents still alive and well in their 80s living full lives.

My recommendation to any pensioners who are moaning about the WFA being taken away when they don't actually need it is to spend a bit less on avocados, that way, you can continue to enjoy your golf club membership

They recognise that alienating the public sector from the offset isn't going to help their chances, in which may be a difficult tenure in power due to the mess we're in.

They're also funding it centrally (money from central pot combined with savings from departments), rather than expecting schools, forces etc. to part fund it.

Cwoar @peteblue clearly got on the whiskey and cocaine last night judging by his sustained late night assaults on labour.

Maybe he and @davek were having a little party as they seem to have a bond over labour hate and posting on GOT at 2/3am!

Well one comes with an additional car and flexitime, the other is nearly £3K less than you quote and will certainly have to be ‘on the job’. Have you noticed that private enterprise rarely have jobs with ‘strategic’ in the title and no defined or measured delivery of output, whereas the PM will be measured against delivery by themselves and their team for a product generating both sales and actual profitability. In comparison, the Programme job is not underpaid, the other one is overpaid….
