You need to understand that the cost of the #NHS is aggravated, not relieved, by adding private sector purchasing and provisions. You need to look at why it costs more to draft in agency staff than to raise the pay to retain regular staff. #NHSPrivatisation

And a prerequisite for serious sensible talks about how to resolve the issues requires that you first take proper advice in economics: how public finances work; why low public sector pay leads to recession and doesn't save any public funds but rather drains the public purse.

The way to avoid disruption is to allow #Unions to call off strikes, in expectation of serious, willing, honest discussions, and then hold those negotiations with a good will, hearing about the conditions & problems that you've caused, and understanding why you are responsible.

The fact that you trained lots of people to be #nurses and doctors is no help (in fact it's a huge public waste) if you don't look after their wellbeing and pay them enough to stay and work.

Dear #Cobra meeting, you don't get it do you? You can't run a country with the military doing all the jobs. You won't break the strikes if you try. You'll make them worse.

Looks like Qatar dished out bags of cash to corruptible politicians prepared to speak lies in public.

RT @RichardJMurphy: But worst of all, this claim assumes that if £28 billion in extra wages is paid out this money just disappears, never to be seen again, and this assumption is so stupid it is laughable - except very few politicians seem to understand this.

RT @RichardJMurphy: My point is a simple one. Not only is the claim that £28bn of extra pubic sector pay will cost each household £1,000 straightforwardly grossly incorrect, because the cost is much smaller, it is also possible that the gain is bigger.

Such a simple thought, that you might need to grit the cycle path (and clear it of leaves too, I might add). Especially if (like @NorfolkCC) your main reason for making a cycle path was to move the cyclists out of the way of cars, to speed up traffic.

RT @aeyles21: This shows what Tories really think about hardworking ordinary people. Tories feel entitled to our money, but if you want a living wage it's seen as outrageous. Not forgetting the Tories infighting brought the Country to a standstill for weeks.
