The Labour Government

If growth paid for all those problems there wouldn't be any problems. Growth only tips loot into selected pockets.

That’s a different problem. You need money, without growth you won’t get extra money to pay for owt, and we’d all still be getting paid 2 bob a week, well less actually unless the population also stagnated.

That’s very interesting. The RCN have been trying to get a different pay spine for nurses on AfC but unison don’t agree with it, any nursing spine should include HCA’s IMHO but there does need to be a starker gap between qualified and unqualified pay rates. Some HCAs are APs and they should be better rewarded than non APs - I know of one who is paid as a band 5 (qualified) but that’s going a bit too far IMHO.

On top of that they need to enforce criteria for bandings - eg a band 7 should have or be working towards a masters, many don’t and aren’t. I’d also enforce all trusts to deband retire / returns to top of band 5 - the number who block progress for staff is staggering where their trust allows them to retire on a Friday and return to the same job / band on a Monday.

RCN - Royal college of NURSING. HCA’s are not nurses, not registered, not held to account by any governing body.

Amazes me that some have no connection with normal working people.

You voted for Keir

Here's a bizarre take.

"Labour criticised" because they haven't - yet - changed the permitted development rights that the Tories introduced to allow offices to be converted to flats without planning permission.

Labour condemned for allowing ‘new generation of slum homes’ in England

Government accused of permitting a planning ‘free-for-all’ by allowing developers to convert office blocks into flats without the usual controls

Like the government we've become a 90s tribute act.
