Waiting Over

I have been waiting with keen interest for two things.

Firstly, I have been waiting for the result of the judicial review into the Civil Service Compensation Scheme.

The result came out yesterday with the result that the changes imposed by the old government were illegal and were therefore set aside. The new government will therefore need to seek agreement with PCS before it can be changed.

As it will be more expensive to make civil servants redundant, our jobs have become just a little more secure.

The other big thing I have been waiting for is the result of the negotiations on forming the next government.

As you will know by now the Tories and the Lib Dems will form a full coalition.

What remains to be seen is if this will result in the best of both parties, the worst or something in between.

My guess is that we will need to hold on to our hats as it's going to be a bumpy ride.
