Palfy Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 If any MP who abstained from the vote the local party should refuse to accept them as their next election candidate, and if they do then the local voters shouldnāt vote for them. The British public needs to understand that apathy wonāt change the outcome of poor politicians that donāt do what decent people expect of them, letās get rid of the corruption whilst we are still able to.

Palfy Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 3 hours ago, RPG said: Just playing devils advocate here so donāt shoot the messenger. Letās look at the NHS. A senior consultant is on circa Ā£125k a year. But all NHS consultants look like going on strike as their pay, in real terms, has been eroded by 35% in the last few years and they have only been offered 6%. They are not asking for a 35% pay rise but a structured agreement which, over a period of several years, reinstates their eroded salary. If a consultant goes on strike, that can shut down entire hospital teams and departments. The NHS is already short of consultants and many consultants that are currently employed by the NHS are now looking to leave. The fact of the matter is that market forces dictate that either the consultants get what they are asking for or the NHS loses yet more senior expertise - to the private sector and overseas. Is this governmentās refusal to pay the going rate for a consultant the right thing to do to contain costs or is it an attempt by government to further weaken the NHS and prepare it for total privatisation? On Ā£125k a year, donāt consultants āhave enough already?ā Discuss. I think the government are out of touch with public opinions when it comes to the public pay sectorās under their control. Pay in the NHS needs to reflect that of the private health sector so as to keep the best people possible to provide the services we require. Is Ā£125k enough money the answer would be no if they can earn a lot more being a private consultant or leaving to go to work in other countries, or yes if itās comparable with other sectors or countries. I have health insurance which I used for my knee replacement a few weeks ago, I didnāt want to travel so chose my local private hospital, I had a choice of 6 consultant surgeons 4 who only work privately and 2 who still work in the NHS, I googled them all and read their reviews and profiles I chose one of consultants who still works in NHS, we need to keep people like them in the NHS or risk losing them and possibly lose the NHS, which a long with our Armed Forces were the envy of the world, but both are being taken to the brink by successive governments.

I feel like it will probably have a long term negative impact on the country.Ā The banks will probably be less likely to lend, making it harder and more expensuve for individuals and businesses to do so. Shortage of investment can lead to job losses across a number of sectors. It will likely ward off banking investments in Italy, because why would they. Such a drastic measure, which is likely to cost the industry billions (that had only just got back on its feet after long term struggles), will also then raise concerns to other industries looking to invest in Italy about whether they can trust the Italian government. I can imagine a few pension pots have been hit too. It is a reactionary political and populist move which is nothing more than an attempt to keep them in power and not a long-term economic strategy in the best interests of the country as a whole. I would also love to see what the average man and woman will actually see from this as I suspect they will only be poorer for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to stimulate the housing market to help the economy, then work on getting inflation down and cutting interest rates, and not by giving builders more land to build on in sensitive areas for them to just stick in their land banks.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
