Labour's amendment defeated in the Commons
MPs voted to reject Labour’s proposal to amend the Queen’s speech to call for an end to the public sector pay cap. Jeremy Corbyn said ministers had missed an opportunity to “put their money where their mouth is”, while Tim Farron accused DUP MPs of “cheering” while they withheld pay from public servants. No DUP or Conservative MP voted with the Labour party to include the amendment. In a debate on the issue before MPs voted, the health secretary Jeremy Hunt accused Labour of using the NHS as a “political football”. In a direct appeal to those Tory MPs who are uncomfortable with the prospect of a continued public sector pay freeze, his shadow Jonathan Ashworth said they had the power to hand a pay rise to public servants tonight. The Lib Dems have now released a statement on the defeat of the amendment. The party’s leader, Tim Farron, said: This evening, the DUP have stood alongside their Tory paymasters cheering at the fact that they have withheld more pay for our police, our firefighters, our nurses and our teachers. Shame on them. After Theresa May’s disastrous missteps this shows nature of the government we have been left with. This U-turn on a U-turn will stick in the throat of million of hard working public servants, many of whom recently ran towards danger, be it Manchester, Grenfell or London Bridge. These people go above and beyond and yet the government snubs them. https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-politics-live

I didn't think it would really go through to be fair.
Government don't normally dance to the oppositions tune. |

''There are precedents for governments accepting amendments to the Queen’s speech. In 2016 David Cameron accepted an amendment to the Queen’s speech backed by the opposition and Eurosceptic Tories criticising the speech for not including a bill to protect the NHS from the proposed EU/US free trade deal..'' https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-politics-live

Don't ever forget the also sickening bigots of the DUP who also voted this down with the Cons.
Absolutely disgraceful. |

This is what people were naive enough to vote for. This is what happens when you vote the way the media tells you to vote.

Them cheering and laughing at not having to pay public service workers more. And people wonder why so many were quick to cling on to and believe in Corbyn when these scum are the alternative.

The cap was already on until 2019.
So nothing new here then other than Labour losing the amendment. I would imagine most people would like to see more in their wage packet, both labour and Tory voters 1% is a bit measly, hopefully the government will be advised to raise it in the next budget. |
