Pay

The Labour Party say that public sector workers, most of whom are poorly paid, should accept pay rises of less than 1% for the sake of the economy and to set an example to the private sector.

The Tories think there should be no rise at all.

The good news is that one group of public sector workers have managed to achieve a rise of 1.5%, smashing the limits of the government and opposition.

The bad news is that it is those same MPs who support the limits for the rest of us that will be breaking their own rules.

I suppose they need the rise to nearly £66K now that they can't subsidise their salaries by fiddling their expenses.
