Sunak could have made peace with public servants a year ago – he just didn’t want to
“A piffling sum of around £4bn is all it will cost to settle the pay demands of hard-pressed public sector staff at the rates set by the pay review bodies, the head of the IFS, Paul Johnson, tells me. That’s “money down the back of the sofa”, he says. “

#BMA rejects #PublicSectorPay rise and says gov is making choices that leave people ‘sicker and poorer’– https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2023/jul/13/doctors-strike-nhs-rishi-sunak-pay-uk-politics-live
also worth noting: the offer is a real-terms pay cuts for millions of workers, coming on top of ... many years of the same.
...also nowhere near, ... the 12.4% nominal increases junior doctors have been offered in Scotland. ...not to mention the 26% the BMA said would be needed to return the realterms pay of junior doctors’ in England to pre-Tory gov levels. -

So, we've all breathed a sigh of relief that the Government is accepting the pay review bodies' recommendations (even if they're not really fund them fully) and so we'll likely avoid some strikes...
But have we all seen one of the ways they're going to fund it - increasing visa fees (already absurdly high) and the NHS "Surcharge" (paid on top of visa fees) (btw, immigrants will also then pay Taxes/NI)

ONS calculates#privateSectorPay has risen 6.6% in July to September 2022 whilst #publicSectorPay has increased by 2.2%
quite why #nurses and others are expected to accept lower than average pay rises when there are so many unfilled posts is a bit of a mystery to me.......
