Its impossible to say without knowing where the problems lie but as there’s been a 7% drop since the pandemic somethings not right. As I mentioned yesterday I’d imagine it’s been impacted by things like strikes, illness and WFH (for some). If these don’t improve after decent pay rises we’re...

Agreed it’s not automatic but it is one of the usual components of secondary inflation. Demand has dropped and so has goods inflation but services inflation is still high (5.7%) and wage inflation has remained relatively high. We’re a service led economy so more people orientated so higher wages...

Those evil fuckers should never have seen the light of day ! Can’t believe the mothers already out.

Aged well

I’m not sure you can say that taking money away from pensioners to help cover above inflation pay rises for the public sector is your standard Tory policy

Just heard Peatys been diagnosed as having covid. Recall in his interview after the race he said he’d woke up with a bit of a sore throat but no excuses. Gutted for him but what a performance to still come so close though. Hope he can still compete in the relays

Think some thought the overtaking move was a bit rough. It was just ruthless

Berk is a much underused derogatory description these days

Yeah, I think the initial increase was brexit driven, then they were supposed to reduce numbers in 2019/20 but the pandemic came along. Think we’re still carrying those higher numbers So we’re carrying 140k more civil servants (civil service not public sector workers) than previously, public...

It’s a bit different, the Nvidia staff benefitted from share schemes that made many millionaires. Their hard work and productivity ultimately helped increase the value of the company and therefore they were highly incentivised as they benefitted personally Productivity in the public sector is...

Yeah, just pure will to win. Some of the French fans didn’t like it but was probably his final chance to make a move. Missed most of the race but heard he was 40 second behind, managed to catch the last few mins though, amazing stuff

Just not having the merry go round of PMs and senior ministerial positions will help. Not sure talking it down when it’s on the turn is wise though

Still very early days and got to give them the term to see what improvements are made. I still think just the stability will lead to some growth and minor improvement in public finances as long as they don’t do anything silly to dissuade investment Strange to cut infrastructure projects when...

Cant argue with that. People are going to make mistakes in life, as long as they listen and learn then no complaints from me. It sounds like the changes to family zone haven’t suppressed take up either. Some of the decisions/changes will work, some won’t, but overall it feels like we’re in a far...

Gutted for Peaty last night, so close !

Amazing comeback !

I think the wider concern, mine anyway, was that the lawyer and some in the Muslim community, certainly in the north, we’re trying to suggest the actions of the police were racially motivated and tried to stir up trouble on the back of it. The release of the latest video doesn’t necessarily...

Anyone got the link to the gofundme page ?

I was saying that to a mate on Friday. Both of those fit and firing and we’d have a chance especially if stokes can keep chipping in with overs as well
