No. It's just RW slogans.

LOL Really. Take an exaggerated example. A nurse who starts on a nurses basic salary. They can if they wish via specialisation increase their salary which may well mean additional education. In fact they could become doctor who would finish up earning a hell of a lot more. Nurses have grades. Another factor. Any in a state job who get a promotion loose out.

NHS - Starmer is talking about the Darzi report. Seems copies can be found on the web.

Reeves has spoken during an interview. Tough decisions - welfare and taxation. We wont get any more info until the budget is introduced so can't even guess.

Its just that some of you refuse to accept the truth, and also refuse to do any leg work

Yes, the truth is that employers pay wages and pension contributions.

Do you know who that is, for people working in public service?

Gordon Brown doing a splendid slight of hand robbery.

Brown had to do something about misuse of pension funds. Deliberate over funding figures which can be an advantage to the company that owns them They are the ones that do - not the members.

 

[ajohn]

Actually its very fair and for people who have been full time then part time very fair .......

True to some extent. Say it's something that does happen. A nurse drops a shift for a reduced salary. The length of that period erodes the benefit of their previous salary.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

“Massively boosted” huh?

How much have you increased your rates by?

I'm out of all that. Reaching my mid 50s coincided with getting a bit of money left by an elderly relative (typical plumber, cashing in on the elderly )- so I CBA any more. Tools only come out now for my myself or family - poss a friend/neighbour in need. Last time I got paid for a small emergency it was a very gratefully received bottle of JD. So I suppose you could say I've actually slashed my rates.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

We are none of those things.

Yes, that ship has sailed. We might have been long time ago, but we're busy reversing our once civilised society.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

There are private landlords on the other thread moaning that Labour may limit rental increases to inflation, and only once a year. What about that as an idea for everyone, to include wage rises, then there is no confusion?

Where has rent capping ever worked?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Why would a producer sell to the UK cheaply, when it makes more by selling on the international market?

It's ours, in The North Sea.

 

[JohnD]

It's ours

Tell that to Shell, and demand a free bucket of petrol.

Lies, in other words

 

[Notch7]

The simple truth is that the people paying into Civil Service pensions need to pay more in ............ and that's the simple truth

Like your wife

Mates rates can work out the most expensive….for the tradesman

Best you reread my original comment again. Or do you think that civil servants are justified in taking far more out than they pay in to their pensions

 

[Murdochcat]

Like your wife

Spot on. Yes, but she took her pension at 55

It’s really generous and index linked - which is so good for us

Yes, but when people reduce hours, they must realise that reducing their income also means reducing their pension
