Traf Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 MPs are getting 2.9%, which to me looks like a shithousing manoeuvre, so that the Govt highlight the "unions' greed" in asking for more. The fact is that MPs are getting a £2,500 rise without having to compromise on working conditions etc and certainly isn't performance related. Most people who have been striking would have settled for a similar rise with no clauses. Why not tell MPs they can have their rise, but a third of them are being axed and we'll run with 430 MPs.

kent_white Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Am I missing something re this economic miracle? 😁 Reading the articles - most seem to be saying we narrowly avoided a recession (welcome news but not anything to shout about) - and that if we had record levels of growth, it's because we had record levels of loss the year before. So on balance - we're returning to the mean? Have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that we are in the same doldrums as the rest of the G7 (whithin very narrow limits) Forecasts vary but forecasts also get things wrong.

I agree that any good news on the economic front is excellent, no matter how small I'm not so sure I ever believe the "we're all in it together" type mantra we hear trotted out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
