Chancellor reportedly abandons move amid concerns it could disproportionately affect up to a million public sector workers.

Since when has public sector workers become the 'Golden Child'?

Most of the right wing press don't like Labour, never have. It may not be leaks.

Looks like there wasn't a budget then like I thought from reading this, and it's just people frothing before anything has been announced.

I'm not impressed with Labour though, but they have been handed a crock of shit and Tories seemed to be revelling creating the shit too. They were utterly awful. I don't think the current incarnation of Labour's policies are that far away from what we had before though sadly. I'm disappointed and frustrated.

I don't understand why people are so fucked off with them trying to keep staff in the public sector when it is literally falling apart through lack of staffing and adequate training. If you don't want it to get worse, unfortunately you need to keep attracting people to fill the vacancies, especially since everyone hates importing workers from abroad evidently.

I actually agree with your post. Shame it used the old MN cliche frothing. Makes it almost unreadable.

But they don't need a get out clause, because they never said they were going to do it in the first place?

Precisely. This is pure manipulation by the media. Invent a “policy” and attribute it to the government, then accuse them of changing their mind with an invented denial. The mainstream media is badly written fiction at the moment.

So what are you hoping they will do or will you just be pleased with whatever they do, you surely must have some opinion

Well I am not pleased about the WFA decision, for a start. I'm reserving judgement until we see the actual budget.

That was the first thing that came to mind, but yeah, is a bit of a MN cliche.

I'm just sick of seeing policies or claims announced on here that haven't actually materialised, and seeing people believe whatever crap is peddled in the press. The press really don't care about the average person, even the wealthier people on MN. I would say a lot of the newspapers are unreadable too.
