Dr Julia Grace Patterson @jujuliagrace.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Can someone remind me again how many pay rises MPs have had in the past 15 years? 12? 13? Meanwhile, look at this (from the Nuffield Trust: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/ho...) 1015178 0
9kitty7 @9kitty7.bsky.social · 06/03/2026It'll be the same for all public sector pay because those are the only pay packets the govt can control in their fight against inflation etc. It's not fair but twas ever thus. 100 0
His Royal Huwness 🏴🐸🇵🇸🇪🇺 @litterygeniarse.bsky.social · 06/03/2026The private sector will pay more until they destroy the NHS. Then they will drastically lower wages. This is a tried and tested strategy. Classic example the Milk Marketing Board. Private dairy/supermarket lured farmers from the MMB and now they are being royally screwed. 262 0
Mark Jennings @markjennings.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I think it's time for public sector pay settlements to be tied to mps pay! 000 0
Andy Pearce 🇬🇧👨🏻💻 @andy-pearce.com · 06/03/2026This is the equivalent graph for MPs. I have no disagreement at all that vital NHS staff should be paid more, but I think it’s fair to acknowledge that the post-2021 inflation surge hit many sectors hard.

Emm Vee @emmmveee.bsky.social · 06/03/2026So real term pay cuts (on average) for everyone other than the private sector (which will almost certainly be skewed by the higher earners) 000 0
HenoriusBooticus #FBPE 🇪🇺 @sanchopanzasmule.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Unpopular comment...but they should be paid far more...stopped from taking donations and imprisoned if they've broken these new laws.. Bye Reform 010 0
Paul Russell @pwrussell.bsky.social · 06/03/2026And there, in that one graph, is the explanation for why our politics has gone so completely off the rails in more or less exactly the same timeframe. 010 0
Gordon @gb4g.bsky.social · 06/03/2026The Tories tried to destroy the NHS while in power it will take time to rebuild it sadly 000 0
Chris @thewinchester.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Is this analysis NHS England only? Bear in mind that Agenda for Change in Scotland has diverged and is higher 040 0
