No really.
This seems to be a thing.
8.00pm tonight apparently.
This seems to be the new “clap in the same minute as the shirt number”. I almost feel that football fans were trendsetters here.....

Due to the aforementioned pay bandings, it would be much simpler if nurses didn't have to pay any income tax. We lose a lot of highly-trained, experienced nurses every year to Australia, New Zealand as well as the USA and the Middle East (where they don't pay any tax). Paying them a decent wage is our first duty & responsibility. After all - we're all going to need one sooner or later. Having had several major ops in my youth, I've always thought that nurses are worth their weight in gold - and long before any pandemic arrived on these shores. |  |

We rely on so many people every day of the week, many of them very poorly paid. Hopefully, when this is over, there will be a revaluation of salaries in the public sector. Health workers, schoolteachers, police, firefighters, waste collectors etc etc...there is a very long list of people who make our lives better everyday just by doing their jobs. What do the likes of Rupert Murdoch do to make our lives better? Yet we have a Government who bend over backwards to accommodate him and his like and in return he supports them and their unfair policies through his multiple media outlets. Let’s hope all of these people do not die in vain and that we see a fairer and more equitable system replace the one that we have had to live with for the last decade. Time for change. |  | | |

Difficult to answer due to different bandings for roles but let's start that upon qualification a nurse starts at a minimum of 30k a year. And give them a nice tax free bonus this Christmas for the heroic work they have done during this crisis. Let's see Johnson and his cronies vote that one down shall we? What do you think they should earn? |
£30k a year?
Don't value them much? |  |

Clue is in the word minimum. 30k starting salary for a newly qualified nurse then an opportunity to earn more with more experience. As others have said maybe not paying tax is another option. I notice you didn't say how much they should earn. |  |

I agree. I was just being awkward.
Gary Neville was making this same point, saying that health workers need to be paid like key members of society.
of course, he refused to answer/swerved the question when challenged if next season, the club doctor at Salford would be the highest paid person at the club as opposed to their star player.
I think deciding what a nurse/doctor earns is an impossible riddle to solve.
A Nurse...what kind of nurse? what is their skillset, ICU, A&E, general scablifter?
ICU are highly specialised but they wont treat children.
they all need a hefty pay rise of course, but we will all have to pay for it, which is fair enough as long as the NHS is re-shaped (for the better) - again, impossible to do | |

There ain't going to be any massive pay rises for nurses or any other public sector workers. They are going to have to make do with a weekly public round of applause.
We are going to be back to 2008 in terms of trying to rebalance the public finances, and that's on top of (1) all the things that Boris/Sunak had already announced in terms of increased public spending (2) the stimulus that will be required to restart the economy and (3) the much more bumpy road that Brexit will now represent.
Just as 'austerity' was supposedly ending, I have a feeling we're all going to be in this together again very very soon. | |

Yes but some will find it a lot harder than others. |  | | |

Our one nation people’s government has gone above and beyond any response ever seen before. Not only have we led the way in supporting the NHS we have seen households saved from hardship with wages furloughed. We have even been held up by Bernie Saunders (America’s version of Corbyn) as the country that is doing things right. These are hard times, they are times that require good leadership and under this Conservative majority people’s government we have the leadership and the governance that we need. You could call it luck that we have been blessed with Boris and his team at this time, but I don’t see it that way. The people of this country chose to vote Tory, they chose to vote Boris, they chose to put this country in safe hands and for that we must all be grateful. [Post edited 14 Apr 2020 21:30]

Do you ever read back what you post? Is it meant to be satire?
It's like something that that would be read out on North Korean TV praising Kim Jong-un, only not as well written.
Don't give up the day job Ignatius. | |

You name a time when a government has supported its people to the levels we are seeing now. You and all the other idiots on here should be thankful because the vast majority of people in other countries aren’t as well looked after as we are. | |

This government is doing what any government would do. People and business all over the world are being supported by governments of all political persuasions.
You will dress up any old bOllocks in mock adulation of your Dear Leader and your comical 'people's princess' narrative. | |

Really??? where are these loans to businesses the government guaranteed?
Only 2% of them approved by banks, the same banks the taxpayer bailed out twelve years ago. What are the government doing to make sure these loans they promised happen, nothing that's what. [Post edited 15 Apr 2020 8:32]

the economic impact is going to be unreal. But as long as everyone can get their pound of flesh in the meantime, its alright. | |

It does matter, millions of jobs and our economy depend on companies that will be needed in the long term staying solvent. | |
