They shouldn't be sending billions abroad and no one in the public sector should be getting pay rises. The money isn't there for any of this. The country is just going further and further into debt.

Their net zero policy is absolute and utter madness. Our energy prices are amongst the highest in the world and their policies will make them even higher. We have billions of pounds worth of resources of our own, at our feet, yet they would rather import them at higher costs and at a greater harm to the planet. Total madness!!

Where is the help for those that have paid their fair share of taxes.
@@defectiveresistor It's infuriating. Those men, full of their own importance, pledging our money to arms dealers, making them multimillionaires.

What's the difference? Taxes have risen under the Tories over the last 12 years WITHOUT any pay rises at all. What pay rises DO actually do is make the economy more buoyant.
@defectiveresistor a lot of the aid to Ukraine is old military hardware - things we don't actually use but have been given a value so it is somewhat misleading.
Money is not printed/made for free, its all loaned to our government from central banks. For every £1 made out of thin air, that £1 has to be paid back plus what ever the interest rate is on that pound. Money is controlled by man. The rates, the inflation, everything money is manipulated by man. Now way in any sane universe would the pound be this strong in the world lol this is the illusion

Why should they be paid more ? When we pay for it by being taxed more. When their employer ALSO puts over 20% of their salary into their pension pot ? We don't get 20% into our pension pots. Are they more productive or more profitable or do they work longer hours for that extra pay ?
reduction of agency rate 50%+ rate to the point of nonexistence.. so the NHS has now a budget for the increase pay. Governemtn should not just focus at the hospital... but the community services.. nursing homes, GP surgeries, immediuate care (Not emergency),, bring back the psyche ambulances. NHS is ruined and a sad memory. Additional budget for what? for teh managers who doesnt do their job? too many managers that shoudl not be there..

In America, public sectors considered low paid but a service. I would argue if they arnt paying for it with an nhs audit from the ground up then no. If they can streamline the mess that is the nhs, and save money then sure give that cash to the staff. Do it the hard way not the easy way.
A) That's private sector and nothing to do with the government. B) Whether we like it or not, people working in unskilled jobs are easily replaceable. That's why these companies won't pay higher wages.
Utter lies. There is absolutely no chance these are the worst circumstances since the war. Worse than when we had to go to the IMF for a loan after the Labour government of the 70s? Worse than the GFC in 2007/8 after Labour had overspent and over-borrowed for a decade? We have low inflation and a growing economy. The debt is terrible but Labour were all for every penny spent and more besides.

Why are people shocked, this is something Reeve's will already talk about in parliament later this month. I'm glad they're not governing by headline like the Tories did, it's not appropriate.

Meanwhile while he claims there is no money his boss Starmer has given the ex civil servant who became a Labour advisor Sue Gray £350 million pounds to renovate a dilapidated stadium in her small home town in Northern Ireland.

Many new tra-ders struggle without proper guidance. I found success through James Clark's expertise.
@@WinniAltieriexactly that's why I always seek Mr J Clark's guidance in all I do 😊
James Clark's market insights have consistently led to profitable decisions.
I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?
Celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today from a $6k start. Investing wisely has given me time for family and future plans.
Always be wary when someone repeatedly starts any reply with "Let's be clear" or "Let me be very clear", for it's almost always a preamble to the opposite.
Why should they be paid more ?
When we pay for it by being taxed more.
When their employer ALSO puts over 20% of their salary into their pension pot ?
We don't get 20% into our pension pots.
Are they more productive or more profitable or do they work longer hours for that extra pay ?
No bonus, unsocial hours and terrible pension. The winners were those paid to sit on their backside during covid.
Elections done, 5 years now
There's loads of money, they give it away willy nilly without accountability.
Why are politicians incapable of saying g yes or no
Why ? They going on their uselessness should take a 5% reduction
The double talk and evasion has begun!
Blame everyone else for their incompetence
People was complaining about tories
Now they have worse 😂😂
Who vote for them ?
Labour will do the campaigning for the other parties one term government
Everything went up at least 20-30%, 5.5% is not even close.
Is this a 30 second loop??
Did they not promise this in their manifesto ?
They didn't have a manifesto in the first place
Politicians break their promises, all the time.
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
The previous government offered 1290 pound a year pay rise which was rejected. I wonder will a 5 percent offrr be as well as the 1290?
Did he really ask if Truss deserved a apology
"Let's be clear", instantly switched off.
start with a 100% tax on Sunak and the crown.
James referred to Trump as “President Trump”..bit premature no?
Interest rates are staying at 5.25% then! Good day folks
Oh I think Jeremy Hunt will have kept a copy of the books to debunk Labours claims.
reduction of agency rate 50%+ rate to the point of nonexistence.. so the NHS has now a budget for the increase pay. Governemtn should not just focus at the hospital... but the community services.. nursing homes, GP surgeries, immediuate care (Not emergency),, bring back the psyche ambulances. NHS is ruined and a sad memory. Additional budget for what? for teh managers who doesnt do their job? too many managers that shoudl not be there.. There is a lot of work to be done, and without appropirate measures, sectors will continue to collapse.
If it is in fiscal rules then it is no at this stage.
In America, public sectors considered low paid but a service. I would argue if they arnt paying for it with an nhs audit from the ground up then no. If they can streamline the mess that is the nhs, and save money then sure give that cash to the staff. Do it the hard way not the easy way.
What about the supermarket retail.workers who cant have full time hours amd feed the fuckimg country???
A) That's private sector and nothing to do with the government.
B) Whether we like it or not, people working in unskilled jobs are easily replaceable. That's why these companies won't pay higher wages.
Utter lies. There is absolutely no chance these are the worst circumstances since the war. Worse than when we had to go to the IMF for a loan after the Labour government of the 70s? Worse than the GFC in 2007/8 after Labour had overspent and over-borrowed for a decade? We have low inflation and a growing economy. The debt is terrible but Labour were all for every penny spent and more besides.
A first look at the books ? Really ! If this is the case this act is a dereliction of duty. Sounds like Starmer likes to turn a blind eye. But we really know they are lying.
5.5% doesn't even come close to what NHS workers have lost against inflation and cost of living over the last 15 years, but at this point I'll take it
Why are people shocked, this is something Reeve's will already talk about in parliament later this month. I'm glad they're not governing by headline like the Tories did, it's not appropriate.
Jesus that interviewer is painful!! There is a process! That they are going through!
Of course,plus free Netflix access.
would that include Local Authority employees?
Public sector workers could get such a pay rise but they won't because politicians need tax payers money to go to foreign countries in the guise of 'foreign aid' so they can keep their bank balances topped up from the foreigners being thankful for the foreign aid.
The Labour Party want to signal to daily mail readers that they will keep poor people suffering rather than assist them with benefits
Is this a pay rise for military too or just for teachers and nhs ?
Just teachers and NHS. Just calling it a public sector pay rise is massively misleading.
If they change their pension retirement to 67 in line with other public sector workers then yes. Otherwise be happy to retire at 50 on full pension.
@@jezlawrence720 exactly what I’m thinking, the benefits of being in the military are becoming borderline non existent
Never firefighters, military etc
Always teachers and NHS since that’s mainly full of liberal moaning women
@AlbertMonkey armed forces received a 5% pay rise last year, 3.75% year before that, 2% 2020/21.
Why does he just say no which we all expect!
A bit like the conservatives had after 10 years of labour
