To pray that Nurses and Teaches get their pay cap removed tonight

[jdoe8]

Not sure exactly what time the vote is, but should be soon.

Really hoping this is removed and they are paid more.

Money tree now empty! Last billion fell off into DUP lap!

Until the next demand from the dup, of course. Even then the Money Tree will manage to grow lets say..."5 billion UK Sterling" within the next 6 months.

Money tree now empty! Last billion fell off into DUP lap! Of course anymore in a caring profession gets by on their love of the job and fresh air. We're not footballers so not doing a REALLY useful job!

Just seen an interview with the copper who fought of the terrorists at London bridge on ITV news.
So sad how some people think people like him dont deserve a pay rise.

[blue2014]

I'm NHS - my wage increases every year in line with agenda for change. Lots of people do valuable, stressful or crappy jobs for little money. Im not sure I like the emphasis of public sector wage increases

[rollonthesummer]

MPs will still get their 11% pay rise, no doubt?

[flumpybear]

HERES HOPING!!!!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires]

Nowt will change, except that mps will get an extra 1-5% on annual 10% top ups, but everyone will have to get used to another 1-5% pay cut .

[IDontBowlOnShabbos]

That's a very bitter perspective Groupie. I don't get something so nobody else should.

What job is it you do where you haven't had a pay rise for 10 years?

[pottered]

Let's hope this changes in the Nov budget as is being talked about.

[SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires]

mps are public sectors yes?

[Groupie123]

So when will the private sector employees get a pay rise. Some people have had 0 percent changes for over 5-10 years.

[LurkingHusband]

Do you realise the cost of even a 1% pay rise? It's estimated at £500 million pounds for NHS staff alone.

That's 0.5 DUP in new money

[WhereDoesThisRoadGo]

And civil servants. I have not had a pay rise for 9 years and work 50-60 hour weeks serving the lacking whims of same bastard MPs who just voted not to give us a rise.

God, it feels good to say that 'out loud'.

[SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires]

How much would it cost the Torys in the long run, if the Binmen decided to go on strike in London?

[IDontBowlOnShabbos]

But how much money does the public sector put into the economy?

How much money is saved by keeping people healthy/alive so they can work?

How much money is saved by keeping people safe and deterring criminal behaviour?

How much money is made by giving people a proper education so they can go on to get a good job and contribute to society?

All this there is no money is complete crap. If we invested enough we would have a richer society. Public services are not a black hole that only benefit a few. It benefits the whole of society!

[Ineedagoodusername]

I think the unions need to step up. Tories paid for an election and the DUP pay off yet can't fund a payrise for public sector workers who haven't had a payrise for years.

[zeezeek]

Just another example of how Tories can find the money when it is something that benefits them, but to hell with everyone else.

[lougle]

Do you realise the cost of even a 1% pay rise? It's estimated at £500 million pounds for NHS staff alone. I'm a nurse and I understand the frustration, but realistically, it all comes at a cost.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

Even if the cap is removed, the schools, hospitals, etc. get no extra money. They just have to find more money from their dwindling budgets. I'm not saying that public sector workers shouldn't get a pay rise I'm a teacher but the government don't lose anything by voting yes.

[harderandharder2breathe]

Sadly the magic money tree is all tapped out after buying 10 votes for £1billion

I know who i would prefer to have got the money and it's not 10 homophobic, anti-abortion MPs propping up TMs weak government

[Bunbunbunny]

But they could find a billion for DUP .....

[StillDrivingMeBonkers]

IPSA awards MPs

I'm afraid it was 309 ayes to 323 nays to the removing the cap.

[Theresnonamesleft]

And what percent are the mp's awarding themselves this time? They should Have a freeze

[SeagullsStoleMyChurro]

And they didn't DUP helped ensure that.
