Can we include in the conversation the conditions that are being negotiated. It’s not just money it’s working expectations too.

If it was just a case of cutting back on the odd takeaway or netflix subscription it would be fine but it's not. Energy rent mortgages all rising

How do you have this convo and spend longer talking about what Kier Starmer is going to do than the actual Prime Minister?

Since 2010 how many pay rises have MP's had. Yet they refuse to acknowledge anyone else deserves one

@Plodthereluctantdeity 🇮🇪🏁 :
Just pay the full payrise at the rate of inflation or, and heres a radical one, higher! so we have money to spend and boost the failed economy

I have an idea, the one off payment for each person would be the same amount as the entire wealth of Rishi Sunak and his family have!

I reckon that Starmer is trying to stay out of it to make it "Tories vs The People" instead of "Tory vs Labour" as the Tories would prefer.

Of course one off payments are not enough, they solve nothing long term.

Tax every company that puts prices up by more than 2% and makes increased profit a git tax on all profits of 90% and use the money to pay people properly.

There is plenty of money it’s just funnelled to the top. If the economy has to be brought to a standstill for that to be addressed so be it.

An experienced staff nurse is earning 20% less in real terms than 2010. Over ten years this has happened. They are deliberately destroying our NHS.

Why do they only talk about wages? Most of the strikes are over changes to conditions as well as pay, but by only talking wages they try to make out the unions are being unreasonable when that’s simply not the case !

Politically motivated unions trying to undermine the government, despite the fact Leftists supported lockdowns, furlough and printing money.
