Thanks. Tell him to send my best wishes to all the NHS staff, too. Heroes.Ill let the author know
When I started on the Crossrail Project I was doing Pre Contract work, preparing Tenders to go out for pricing and Post Contract work running Contracts after they were awarded, I left home at 7-00am and got back to home at 7-00pm and worked on spreadsheets at home so I did not miss any deadlines
All that work for a paltry £250 a day, still that's the price you pay for being good at your job
when people were gutted it was voted through parliament, they forgot that it needs to pass through lords.
Well at least we now know who to blame for it being over 4 years over schedule and a £3bn overspend .

You do realise this is across the board and includes Labour MP's
Pretty sure Sucky does and isn't saying otherwise.
However Tories are the ones in power and it's up to them to give those others the payrises.
If everyone accepted 3% pay rise we wouldn't have any strikes today.
That's a very simplistic way of looking at it but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are doing it to wind @Treble and @Archers Road up.
If you look at an MP salary and a Nurses salary since 2011.
MP: £65K in 2011, £84K in 2022, % increase 29.6%
Nurse: £30K in 2011, £34K in 2022, % increase 13%
To keep track with MP salaries they would need a rise of £5K now, which equals a 15% pay raise. Which is a bit less than what they are asking for.
Surely all public servants should be treated the same way when it comes to pay rises. Of course we probably don't need to pay the nurses to keep their horses warm or repair their moats, but surely basic pay increases should be standardised across the board for state employees.
