Sorry I was referring to the overall wage. Nurses, doctors, and higher managers will be paid well, I would of thought under the current climate with the public finances stretched they would be a bit more understanding!
Many people in the private sector who haven’t had a pay rise for years would love 1% and a nice pension.

They should join a Union then.

Nice to see the boot lickers been lead up the “race to the bottom” garden path though. Where do you think public sector wages are spent anyway? Could it be...the private sector perhaps? Great idea though, take demand out the economy when you need to increase it and get private firms supported.

Said it some months ago when we clapped the NHS each Thursday, they would rather have a decent pay award then a good clap. I know people say politicians pay award are worked out by a committee but funny how their awards always seem larger then anybody else who is paid from taxes.

Nothing those fookers do has ever surprised me and nothing ever will. Still can't understand why working people vote Tory. It's a lifelong puzzle to me.

You continue to show that you have no understanding of economics. 1% is a pittance when inflation is higher. And when you take the longer term view, NHS workers have fallen further behind in real terms. I suspect that you don’t know what that means judging by your comments.

And if you think stiffing NHS and other public sector workers is going to save enough money to make a dent in the sums of money the government has spent on this crisis you are sadly lacking in understanding of basic arithmetic.

You also seem not to understand the impact of government spending and debt on economic growth and the effect that has on affordability of debt.

Go and educate yourself.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Nurses got a 5% pay rise last year. They’ll get a further 1% this year. Average pay for a qualified nurse is about 40k much better than many of their European counterparts, and they have job security and a good pension. Now I will give you a basic lesson in economics ...they are paid out of taxes!

When hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs, homes, families, businesses and in some cases their lives just to protect the NHS then it’s really not a good look to be complaining again just like the teachers at every second chance.

Public sector doesn’t deserve any more money so nobody is getting stifled. But if it makes you feel all ooh so intelligent by stating the basic flipping obvious then good for you.

It’s not a good look for the government to waste hundreds of millions of pounds of tax payers money giving contracts to their mates.

But as is this governments thirst for outdoing themselves in hypocrisy they don’t stop at that but have the temerity to talk affordability when dickiing over worked NHS staff out of a paltry pay rise.
And people defend it!

So nurses are paid through taxes, unlike those on furlough, or those running the £22bn test & trace failure, or those providing PPE to the tune of £3.2bn of inflated prices.

The truth is the govt have printed £450bn out of thin air during the pandemic, and even the BBC are now parroting the line that running huge deficits is fine, completely flipping their narrative they’ve run for the last decade -

But on crab mentality island, people would rather lie about how much nurses earn than let them have a few quid more. The median nurse salary is £25k, which is...some way short of £40k (https://www.payscale.com/research/UK/Job=Registered_Nurse_(RN)/Salary). That few quid more will be going straight into local economies, supporting small businesses and the private sector.

Thank you for the lesson in basic economics though
