If they can survive the battle of the bean field they'll survive this. It doesn't even come close.

It would be a non story if it wasn't social media.

Glastonbury have had a left field for decades none of this is anything new.

The flat rate pay rise isn't a bad idea, it was tried one year in our place but wasn't popular as it didn't reflect peoples associated cost of living rises. Ultimately it's a staff retention thing.

Grade creep I was referring to is that if those earning less get a higher % rise eventually they'll catch up with those earning more.

I think it's about right as it is - pay award should follow independent reccomendations. % pay increases aren't ideal but it's the only way to accurately reward seniority and prevent grade creep between roles.

People in the public sector should be paid based on the complexity of their job and in some cases more depending on external market forces and associated retention issues.

In the private sector nobody would be prepared to have responsibility for a £900 million budget and employ 10000 people for £170k a year.

I think our public services are in a shocking state and we all need to pay more to get them up to scratch. Everyone should pay more or expect less.

The Prime Minister is vastly underpaid, that doesn't mean that they do a good job.

Well as a comparison Swansea Council has a budget of £900 million a year, Eddie Stobart have a turnover of about £900 million a year.

The Cheif Exec of Swansea Council earns about £170 k a year the Cheif Exec of Eddie Stobart pockets about £6 million.

It's not just Labour rebels. Everyone seems to think that.

We need to pay more and government spend less or expect less in return.

One man who buggered off to the Carribbean when he should have been working and another who hasn't held a single local surgery and has been to the States half of the times he's been to Clacton.

Is this the change people want?

No Westminster. Scotland will have to pay it too.

Basically if we don't recycle we'll either get less for our council tax cash or have to pay more.

I don't think Reform will get 51% of the vote, and can't see them forming a coalition with anyone.

Plaid may come second but they'll get the Greens, Lib Dems and Labour on board with them.

Maybe that'll be enough of a kick up the arris the Senedd needs.

My opinion on reform is based on their unworkable and unaffordable policies and the calibre of their elected representatives.

The support will come from the very people Reform want rid off local council management and their staff. The other councillors will set him and Reform up to fail, they won't be able to respond and the local people will suffer. Imagine that on a national scale!

What baffles me is why anyone would vote for them there's another thread on that with no answers.

Dog waste is a problem, we've got two and one is pretty large.

I bag it from the garden and put it in the local dog waste bin when I pass. It would stink if that was in a household bin for too long.
