Give Armed Forces and NHS the 1.3% pay rise and MP's the 1% Pay rise.
Armed forces and NHS staff where given a 1% pay rise in the 2017 review whilst MP's where given a 1.3% pay rise. This amounts to less than £5 per week it's a derisory amount in the face of rising fuel, food and transport cost increasing.
This unfair settlement is yet more evidence of the government's failure to invest in the NHS. Imposing a 1% increase is an insult to our selfless NHS and Armed forces who keep us safe day in day out.
