“Need” I disagree, we must demand more than that, and a cut in Taxes, still not hearing anyone of the parties making that promise to reduce any of the taxes.
8% is not enough. Inflation is really way over the reported figures (it seems) and the energy price rises alone would eat a tonne of that 8% for most.
If we give 8% rises inflation will be 10% in a few months.
But Tories are too obsessed about whinging that woke agenda narratives are taking over our schools.
Didn’t the Chairman of the Bank of England say don’t ask for a massive payrise this year? I’m not sure why we can’t ask for it when bankers are getting massive bonuses; are we not worthy?
We’ve been robbed of inflation matching raises for decades now. At this point we’re probably owed a 100% pay rise.
Sadly the news coming out of many larger firms at the moment is that they can’t give pay rises in line with inflation.
Which is a real time pay cut.
I can understand if the government wants to deliver tax relief at the corporation level so that they can pass that on to their workers, but that doesn’t really work if the corporations are going to give below-inflation pay rises.
Recession is 2 successive quarters of negative growth, not 3.
Of course profits can still be made in a recession. I never said they couldn’t, by and large they will fall though.
Most people are going to foodbanks, jobs in the country don’t pay enough freelancing is good and it’s a competive market.
