 Strikes - Terry
The PM is right not to get involved in pay negotiations now.

There is no where further to go if agreement cannot be reached. If he makes an appearance it will be when the deal is almost done - one final minor concession to allow the strikers to claim victory, and the PM to be the deal maker. Basic tactics irrespective of political allegiance.

------------

Even if all public sector workers got 20% increases and joyfully went back to work, it would make no difference to service delivery for up to a decade. Improvement needs additional trained staff, investment, changes to processes and reorganisation.

Be very clear what problem you are trying to solve - service quality or (rational) pay demands.

------------

Increases in public spending need to be funded either through increased taxes or cutting other services. Liz and Kwasi tried fiscal stupidity and were rightly removed.

There is a balance to be struck between increasing taxes, impacts on consumer spending, unemployment, growth, and properly rewarding those in the public sector. It is a judgement call - but focussing on one element to the exclusion of the rest is a denial of reality.
