The government seems committed to thinking about how its health mission can support growth – but will it be a reciprocal relationship or a one-way street? Read @Sarahsarnie's new blog: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…
The real #Zahawi scandal isn't that he failed to pay £3.7m on his £27m, it's that he was only supposed to pay £3.7m. That is a lower tax rate than someone working full time on minimum wage #TaxTwitter theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/f…
The govt claims it cannot give nurses and other public sector workers a decent pay rise because it has no money and it would be inflationary. The influential @martinwolf_ in the @FT has now joined other economists in disagreeing. Why? 🧵/1 on.ft.com/3v13mId a
Buried in the footnotes of Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement is a massive tax cut on bank profits. Surcharge cut from 8% to just 3%.
This is why we have strikes. Latest inflationary squeeze comes after big fall in real incomes since GFC @FT
Ouch
From our new report - the living standards crisis will stretch well beyond this winter into next year. Real earnings are forecast to continue falling until at least mid-2023, by which time all real pay growth since 2003 will have been wiped out
New labour market stats. Real pay growth at its worst since current records began. Real pay has dropped by 4.1% (£23 per week) compared to same period last year. Record falls in both private sector (-3.4%) and public sector (a massive -6.7%, or £40 per week).
Question I'd like all potential Conservative leaders to answer (RT if agree) The energy price cap's predicted to rise 64% in Oct taking a typical bill to £3,244/yr; & rise again in Jan to £500/yr more than when May's help package was announced. What'll u do to avoid this & when?
Not sure the fixation with 1970s as a period economic gloom is merited - I'd be more afraid of repeat of 2010s @ONS shows annual real wage growth was: - 2.9% in 1970s and 1980s - 1.5% in the 1990s (roughly half) - 1.7% in 2000s - Almost 0% in 2010s bit.ly/3tTq8Bs
A useful stat to bear in mind while the pay of public sector workers is in the news. In April 2022, average pay in the private sector was 4.3% higher than in January 2010, after adjusting for inflation. That's pretty poor. But in the public sector, it was 4.3% LOWER.
NEW REPORT: Inflation is mainly driven by global factors. But many corporations have increased their profit rates while people's wages are not keeping up. @chrishayes and I find that UK aggregate profits were up 34% at the end of 2021. Covered in @thetimes this morning. (1/6)
Real-terms total pay in private sector rose 1.4% year-on-year in the 3 months to April. But it fell by 4.7% in the public sector. Recessions are generally a good time to be employed by the government. Periods of unexpectedly high inflation are not.
Staggering new data from the Competition and Markets Authority new report. From 2008 to 2020 - Top 10% of most profitable firms mark-up increased from 58% to 82%. Meanwhile, real + nominal wages on average have grown by 0%. #CostofLivingCrisis?
Life expectancy in England's poorest areas is now at its lowest level since @ONS began comparing by deprivation. It's a "sickening increase in health inequality" according to @IPPR bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
Excellent summary of the challenges with NHS workforce planning 👇- the solution is to be as transparent as possible and plan for a range of scenarios, in order to make the best decisions we can.
