The government doesn’t want to pay the nurses or police pay rise.

They have offered a pay rise to NHS. I suppose it's quite hard for all the workers who lost jobs, never had any job security anyway and are on lowest rates of pay to look at those in safe government jobs who have never had the worries that they have. I'm thinking of those in hospitality, retail and similar jobs who also had a lot of exposure to Covid.

The pay rise has to come out of the existing budget.

No extra money.

They have offered a 3% pay rise to all NHS workers? Stop sh** stirring!

Exactly.

I wonder how this will be spun for the nodding heads?

The trouble is that lying by the government has become normalised by the media, who play along.

But it would seem that the fight back to truth and integrity is beginning to gain ground.

Peter Stefanov, Peter Oborne, Caroline Lucas, James O’Brien, Emily Maitlis, and now Dawn Butler are leading the charge.
