Moderators Casino Posted August 25 Moderators Share Posted August 25 Btw, for a seemingly bight chap @Lt. Aldo Rainedo you think the independent pay review boards are independent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol_BWFC Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) 8 hours ago, Casino said: Btw, for a seemingly bight chap @Lt. Aldo Rainedo you think the independent pay review boards are independent? Also consider that independent pay review boards are given parameters by the Government. For example, the NHS pay review body was told: 1. the 2023/24 budget has already been set (ie there will be no extra money for additional wages); 2. in determining any pay increase, front line services should not be impacted (so wages can’t be increased in such a way that it would take away from that); 3. the Government wants to increase the workforce by 50,000 and there is a “direct relationship” between pay and staff numbers (ie more staff = wage budget is spread more thinly); 4. the review body will be expected to take into account evidence the government provides (as well as NHS). So, crack on and independently decide on wage increase within the straight jacket we’ve put on you, based on information we provide.

She knows she’ll still get plenty voting for her, even though she’s shitting in their shoes and laughing as they put them on and all the shit is oozing from the lace holes. She’s being paid not to work, and the folk paying her are happy to do so. Its really more about them than her.

Site Supporter Spider Posted August 26 Site Supporter Share Posted August 26 So Instead of a life peerage, she’s now employing an agent to get her some increasingly awful gigs on the telly?

Ani Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 She epitomises everything that is wrong with politics and politicians at the moment. She is as rotten as it gets and they made her a minister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted August 27 Site Supporter Share Posted August 27 Fortunately, we’ve avoided having to stump up for her a lifetime of doing fuck all as a peer. The fact that she’ll let that eat away at her rotten soul for the rest of her days is ok by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The sad thing is she was right about Cameron and Co when she came into parliament, an elite boys club with an arrogance that they were born to rule. She could have been a refreshing face of conservatism, a working class woman who did well despite everything, a popular author (I don't agree with the snobbish attitude to the books, people enjoy them) who could understand what it's like not having been born with a silver spoon. But unfortunately she drank from the populist cup, and started defending anything that Johnson did in a bid to become a minister, and then followed Johnson's lines and started attacking things like the BBC. Then finally this strop about not being made a Dame when it was obviously promised to her was a very sad end to what could have been a successful, popular MP if she'd have concentrated on the role of being a public servant, rather than a pole climber.

We’ll have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
