Sunak has proclaimed, according to the BBC, “Where we are now is that the unions are asking for a 17% pay rise – and I think most people watching will recognise that clearly that’s not affordable”.
Most people if they do recognise this, have, of course, been brainwashed and I’m beginning to conclude that it is remarkable that the people can be lied to and deceived with such breathtaking confidence by our ruling elite, while remaining unquestioned by the media.
In fact, where we are now is that the £350m a week that the NHS was promised on the side of the Brexit bus could in fact meet the nurses’ pay claim in full. And there’d still be around £9bn a year left over.
his is not taking account of the fact that the money could be spent into existence by government – without ever having to ‘find’ it and health expenditure would have a multiplier usually estimated at about 3 and this will be more when almost one in ten of the population are awaiting attention by the NHS – simply as a result of government underinvestment in healthcare....

This is badly thought through and typical of the current UK Labour mentality.
They will find out the hard way when they try and implement the beliefs and cause galloping inflation again.
What's amusing is that it is precisely the same mistake as the other side - seeing things in numerical terms and believing that magically causes physical productivity to happen. It's just as bad as 'tax cuts cause magic things' from the Lafferites.
To spend on health in the current tight environment requires suppression of *consumption* elsewhere so that can be transferred to health workers.
Which *consumers* do you want to suppress?
