Because it is still putting more money into the economy.  The rate of inflation would fall faster if everyone took a pay cut.

Do you not know that wages are only one of the things that cause inflation?

Our inflation was not caused by wage rises but our much loved government refused to do anything about it.

If anything, our government has made it worse.

Slinny,

This government can find billions to fight the pandemic,

Millions spent on HS 2.

Millions sent to Ukraine,

Nuclear subs now being sent to Australia, a few more million,

No money for our treasured NHS. meks you think pal.

Indeed, the government has been printing money like it's going out of fashion. Quantatative Easing has barely stopped since the last financial crash, and yet it looks like we're heading for another one.

No money for the NHS? Are you taking the pee?

 

On last year estimates, 180 billion got poured into that organisation with the BMA estimating that around 37% of that is spent on staffing costs.

 

Its a bottomless money pit and it's about time someone looks its overspend, inefficiencies, wastage, overuse and abuse.  

 

Why don't those placard waving doctors and  nurses demanding more pay go ask some of their pen pushing colleagues earnings six figure salaries where the money is going.   Perhaps they should be looking at some of the malingerers,  drunks, reckless self-inflicted patients who are clogging up resources and abusing the NHS service due to their own ignorant, stupid or arrogant actions.  Perhaps they should be looking to some of the dozens of NHS sideline organisations, quangos, extra services and asking if they are strictly necessary or whether their budget should be better spent on something that is actually considered essential healthcare provision.

 

It's not as simple as demanding more more money from the government. They already get plenty.
