The fact that after voting down pay rises for nurses, police, firefighters etc., Tory MPs CHEERED

That people are so thick they think the MP's cheered for that reason......but are allowed to vote

I don't fking care why you think they cheered, but the fact that they did so is at very least bloody poor PR

Only to people who are as thick as mince

Or to thousands of emergency workers who have suffered below inflation pay rises for so long

That's what you get when you quit one job and get another. Usually preceded by a pay cut in the original role.

And, assume I just landed from Mars, tell me why they were cheering.

The amount of parking spaces allocated to the disabled.

I would imagine there is some sort of directive that says "the number of disabled parking spaces should be proportional to the total number of spaces, rather than a token one or two"

There probably is, it doesn't stop it being a waste of space and annoying me though!
I'm wondering if there is a penalty for parking in the Tescos ones, I might aswell use it (no-one else does) so my car doesn't get dented....

MartG makes the point that Emergency workers have received pay rises that are less than inflation. This is true

Stickyfinger says list the wages and pensions and hours of those workers. Pointing out they aren't on minimum wage. People on this very site have pointed out that a NHS nurse with the various bonus etc earns around mid 30s. I imagine many people on here earn less in the private sector and STILL manage without foodbanks. In fact there's been no actual evidence of more than a handful of those workers using foodbanks. Sadly foodbanks are seen as a legitimate alternative to paying for your own food by some parts of our country. Leaves more money for the essentials like iPhone7 and vaping juice... (so as ever don't believe anything that comes from the shadow cabinet)

He also points out that they will work less than 40 hours a week and get a VERY good pension. Both of which you wont get in the private sector. So WHY are those people complaining that they only get a little guaranteed wage, when most people in the private sector don't get a pay rise unless they change jobs.

In answer to your question Hackney.
The MPs were cheering because essentially Corby and his y friends were trying to point score, they don't give a st about the aforementioned professions. They were trying to make the government look weak, hoping that this would get voted through and then they could try and somehow get in power. And they failed to win and thus made Labours leadership look pathetic for trying it on. Hence the cheering

We saw the same thing today with that snake Umunna who tried to derail the Queens speech, again in some kind of weird power play. Which in their heads no doubt meant they could get the keys to number 10 off the back of it! Again, this wasn't about the policy, but about implying that they should REALLY be in Number10

Why ? The point is that these critical workers have had zero or sub-inflation pay rises for several years, resulting in an effective lowering of their income to the point that many of them are facing financial problems - yet a pack of braying MPs who had an 11% rise last year cheered when they won a vote to continue to restrict these workers pay :/

If nothing else it is very poor PR given the recent events and statements by certain politicians about the critical importance of the emergency services

ANY Fireman should not have financial problems unless they have made poor judgements
Same with a qualified nurse
etc etc

Let me do it for you

Fireman Starting is £22K After training £29K rises after that with different levels
Nurse £21,6 rising to £28,1 then obviously overtime, bonus etc
Paramedic, Turns out Same as Nurses.

Whilst not millions, if you do these jobs and have some semblance of financial responsibility, you shouldn't really be facing problems. The wkers on the opposition bench who keep talking about "nurses at foodbanks" miss the point that A) Its a tiny minority, and b) those people have done it to themselves!

MPs pay is independent, but still a lot imo. But if you are thick you'll think the MPs are laughing at the professions and they aren't. But I do take your point from a PR perspective it's easy to be spun as "anti workers" and that would be gobbled up by the thickos who actually vote for Corbyn
