Liz Truss has u-turned on her pay cut proposal. She’s useless  

 

I guess that's what you get when you cut and paste policy straight from the Taxpayers Alliance website.

She’s also gone and blamed the media. A cracking day for her.

in proper cost of living crisis style, i've just spent too much money i don't yet have on a non-performing, non-functional gift for someone, and that someone will probably tell me off for buying her a gift. 😛

I read that there would be no cuts to the salaries - just that there would be different rates of pay in different regions.  E.g. London might get 3%, but the North East might only get 2%, etc.  I know that in real terms, these are pay cuts, but that was the case anyway. Or have I missed something?

 

My understanding is that London is the only area that has different rate of pay. What Truss was proposing would result in public sector workers leaving more deprived areas to work in affluent areas where they would be paid more. It would negatively impact on services in deprived areas and is terrible policy.
