Unfair....should stop squandering money elsewhere ...choices have to be made..we’ve had 12 months of paying out on various schemes ..billions on a useless track n trace scheme...I think they’ve chosen the wrong group to suddenly put the squeeze on

I'd be embarrassed announcing that , if that's what they get then it wouldn't surprise me to see them go out on strike, and who could blame them .
If true it's disgusting , no doubt politicians will get about 4% , the world's gone mad .

BIN ****ing HS2 and use the money to modernise the NHS and pay the people who work in it properly
It’s a disgrace, but MPs have already voted out any pay rise for themselves for 2021/22.

Announcing 1% sounds worse than making no announcement. I know they have to juggle the finances, but this is a bad move - and with Kier Starmer saying quite rightly they should have more, didn't Boris realise this was a bad move on the PR front too?

It's an insult, and that does not do this disgrace any justice at all.
As the useless track and trace gravy train hoovers up Billions more our frontline workers get shafted yet again. Utterly shameless.

To think that these criminals will get to run this country again just makes me glad that I will be out of this country in 4 years time..
Imho should be linked to inflation and anyone working in the NHS between 25 March 20 - 25 March 22 should get a tax free bounty of £1000.
Ok who’s next,
Police
Firefighters
Teachers ( not sure about them)
Bus drivers
Taxi drivers
Supermarket workers
Volunteers
Have I forgotten anyone??
Out of interest did anyone get a pay rise after the Second World War, genuine question?

It would disgusting but here's the truth and not the sensationalist crap being reported. It hasn't been announced it is contained in a document to go to the independent review body and the MP's aren't getting a pay rise.
Inflation for the last year is below 1%
Have to say I was surprised by the nurse who called into Radio 5 this morning, to offer balance. Her Father died early last year and she got two months off, with pay, she also spoke about 40 days holiday? Clearly she may have long service awards or a different contract to some, but there's always more to the story than just the salary, i.e. pensions, annual leave, training, compassionate leave etc. Personally, I think we all need to realise that this money is going to need to be paid back, but I think I'd have awarded an RPI increase, as a minimum, and then put the squeeze on. I'd imagine the thinking is if any public sector workers want to ask for a pay rise they'll be given the example of the heroic nurses and doctors, who only got 1%.

Nurses pay, on the other hand, between 2010 and 2018 fell, on average by 7.4% although this was very slightly offset by a 2% rise between June 18 and Dec 19, ie 18 months.

Meanwhile, using the emergency measures in place, the government have been busy lining the pockets of friends and donors by awarding contracts left right and centre.
So forgive me if my heart doesn't bleed for the MPs sacrificing a pay rise this year.

Think most of them got rises last year. Not nurses though.
This year
FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists expect inflation to average 1.5% in 2021, which is unchanged from last month's forecast, and 1.9% in 2022.
