  1. HOW can "5%" BE ENOIGH to compensate for the nurses going on strike, let alone for all they've lost since the pandemic? For the entire amount their wages have slipped since the Tories got in, in 2010? 🤮🤮 5% isn't even touching the rate of inflation, much less beating it. 19% is a much more realistic figure. (Take it out of Tory MP's wages, if need be!) The nurses should go out on strike again. And Rishi and the Tories should go.

  2. And killing 40,000 isn't??

  3. And this is the sort of thing we are now supposed to put up within world politics!!

  5. ​@yourma2000 Bull. Employers never "bid", even in a "tight economy": that was proved in the US in the 2000s. Not having a proper minimum wage just leads to exploitation. It's far too low in the US now!
    17
  6. I was thinking that! Nurses' unions have never been militant. Mick Lynch wouldn't settle for that. The nurses need to go out again.

  18. @triggercky9928  Don't know about that.. Personally I noticed how the minimum wage (which is really designed for McDonalds workers etc) "budged" white collar and more skilled jobs up the scale a few thou: only it took about 3 or 4 hrs, from when it was introduced, in May 2000. (And Labour should have introduced it before that.) Know what an "entry level" journalist (with a qualification) got throughout the 1990s? 😏 £8k per annum, as did many an office worker! Now that was a rubbish wage! It was approaching £15 k by 2004, probably more in London. Now tell me the minimum wage didn't do anything for people with above minimum skills!

  45. Starmer is a fool. How is he going to produce this economic miracle, that he so much vaunts? How is he going to repair decades of Tory misrule, using the same austerity economics? Starmer will do nothing. And all his excuses not to spend or to borrow money, are excuses for the rich to get richer, and the poor to get poorer. #StarmerOut

  48. The tax increase shouldn't have been on the average worker (via freezing the tax allowance) and on small businesses (via employers' national insurance rise). It should have been on the rich! The top rate of tax should have been raised to at least 50%, as it was under Gordon Brown. Rachel Reeves has messed up! 👎 #ReevesOut

  113. ​ @centerfield6339 That didn't happen for most of the 2000s. The prices of some basic things (eg, cooking oils) started to rise from about 2007 because of price rises on international commodity markets. Nothing to do with the UK. Same with the more recent hyperinflation. It all had international causes, nothing to do with any poxy wage "rises" (aka wage cuts!)
