The on-again, off-again, on-again Tory NHS pay offer that is so low it isn’t worth considering

Last Updated: July 21, 2021By Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Javid’s joke? Not satisfied with offering NHS workers – who have saved hundreds of thousands during the Covid crisis – a derisory, insulting pay award, the Tories appeared to withdraw it. Now they reckon it’s back again. Is this a mental torture technique they’re applying because they think it’s all a big giggle?

At the time of writing, the Tory three per cent NHS pay offer is back on the table.

It means that, taking inflation into account, NHS workers will have 0.6 per cent more money to play with – after 11 years of cuts that have reduced their incomes by 15 per cent at least.

The trouble is, we can’t be sure whether it’s really happening or not, because after the Tories announced they were trumping Labour’s – insulting – demand of a two per cent pay increase (which itself was a response to an initial one per cent rise by the Tories) we were faced with claims it had been trashed.

So can we believe Sajid Javid or do we ascribe his pay promise to Covid-19-spawned delusion?

    Sajid Javid announces it on national news to convince the general public that tories are good guys. Then it isn’t implemented. But the general public will believe it has been, because they saw it on tv.
