The public sector WILL increase their demands. How does it compare to the private sector?
Did the pay increases before 2010 match inflation? Did the pay rises in the late 1970s, under Labour, match inflation?

And kill some, thus lowering the burdon on the public purse .

It’s brilliant when you think about it. Give the doctors 22%, take winter payments away from pensioners.

Kill the pensioners, reduce the burden on the NHS.

They've spent £24 billion in 24 days ,"things can only get better"

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

They're keeping the triple lock so pensioners will still be considerably better off relative to average income than when the winter fuel allowance was first brought in.

TBH It's politically toxic but they should just reverse the NI cuts the Tories did. It makes up for most of the shortfall.

Did say be careful what you vote for and if you want to reduce the burden on NHS why pay the doctors the pay rise offer . Sorry the cost x £' s argument doesnt wash. They are not going to spend monies on catching up , and of cause some will die saving money :shocked:

The only bit that Starmer actually said

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Letter from the OBR today to the Treasury Select Committee.

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...6&d=1722274707

tl:dr
- the Office of Budget Responsibility says it was unaware of 2024-25 spending pressures until this week (i.e not when it made its March forecast)
- points out it would be one of biggest in-year overspends on record
- launches review of "adequacy" of what HM Treasury told it before the March Budget...
