At least they’re good with the economy.

Meanwhile even Russia running at about 2% growth and similar for inflation.

Lord Snooty on GB news last night berating public sector workers saying that productivity has been down since 1997 and the pay rise was enough but productivity must improve, we had this in the fire service, tell me how to do you improve productivity in something we’re you don’t produce something, you can’t make more house fire’s and car crashes for you to attend! How do teachers do more when they are already stretched, apply this to MPs especially twats like hi who I guarantee does fuck all for his constituent.

That will be the MP's on 80 odd grand who turn up when they fancy it - except Dorries who plain doesn't - yet feel the need to get lucrative 2nd jobs presumably by virtue of being an MP and having spare time because you aren't doing that job? Those MP's?

Liz Truss paid £15,770 an hour for second jobs - as outside earnings of MPs revealed

A calculation of the outside earnings received by MPs - alongside the number of hours they declared - shows that Boris Johnson and Liz Truss have commanded the highest hourly wage.

Ah, perhaps we need a good war. Isn't this what the Yanquis always did to boost their economy. I think we could send a couple of gunboats to the Isle of Man - they're loaded.

Agree with you criminals all of them and I feel frustrated it’s a far right cabinet every day there is something new I’ve had enough of them.

I know someone who works in social services and the lack of funding means they can’t help vulnerable babies and children.. She was looking for two second hand, stair baby gates “charity” that’s what the poor are offered now, they used to be provided as a safety issue not any more. Disgraceful government

If you apply the maxim that the mark of civilised a society is the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens then we are regressing in an appalling fashion. Back in 2017 the UN was already refering to the UK as a failing nation in its duties to disabled people and since then the failures have got deeper and broader sucking more and more people in.

You still see loads of individual acts of kindness and compassion but I find it hard to shake the feeling that as a nation we have increasingly allowed our leaders to turn us into a heartless and cruel nation. I don't think that is who we really are as a people but unless we reverse this trend soon and decisively it will absolutely be our fate.

The productivity arguments that these nutters are making are really idiotic when you look at the mess of the public sector and public services. The idea that we can all work harder for the same or less is completely mad. I work predominately with folk in the forces and everyone I speak to says they've never seen the public sector so bad and that's the military which is historically relatively well funded. Virtually all of them are jumping ship to industry which is awash with cash because the government is printing money to build weapons for Ukraine. So no, you must make sure that you reject your payrise because yes it's you buying all those Ferrari's that's causing inflation....

Public services such as transport are on their arse and it's extremely difficult nowadays to get anywhere. I flew into Manchester on Saturday, our flight was an hour late and I had a train home booked. Because the flight was late I missed the booked train so I had to pay for another train ticket but hey-ho at least the train operators get twice the money eh. In Germany you just buy a ticket, it's the same price for the same journey and it doesn't matter which train you get on. This is the madness of our country and how it's not aligned to people's needs, it's aligned to make money first and then those poor operators have to shoulder the burden of actually running the train (or not as is the case nowadays).

I'm actually gobsmacked that the country is growing. When we talk of productivity what's really happening is people are actually over-productive given the circumstances. However that productivity could be 10x better had we not faced these challenges to our living costs and standards.

Our government and the people in charge don't give a shit about people or the productivity implications of what it takes to get them to work or keep them healthy. All they care about is how to get the absolute most out of us for the absolute minimum and the remainder of government policy is how to shaft us for everything we've got.

Just think of this, many people reference austerity and cuts but today none of that is quite relevant, at least Osborne and Cameron were honest about it and they did control inflation and bring borrowing down. This government now however is a different kettle of fish in that it borders on the outright corrupt. UK government spending is at the highest ever but the critical thing is why do we get so little out of it? That tells you all you need to know.

Can you not go around cutting brake cables and moonlighting as dodgy electricians on your days off?

Adding money to the local and national economy too.

Insurance payouts that would have otherwise gone to overseas pension funds will be paid out to mechanics and tradesman. Scrap dealers and dealerships will have an up-turn in business.
