So you’re not going to ever get 40,000 deserving nurses on £200k or more a week.

The BBC apart, celebs and footballers are involved in a business that generates money through commercial success.

I’m all for nurses and the like earning £50k a year or more but I want to see the money coming from reducing foreign aid, reducing defence spending, cutting out the ridiculous waste and profligacy in the Public Sector and by “taxing” Amazon and their likes on TURNOVER done in the U.K. rather than on their supposed non profits.

You are very correct! Foreign aid to India in almost four years alone was 2 billion. These
t wats then buy cheap Russian oil and sit on the fence regarding Ukraine!! Unbelievable!

So with Sunak now as PM do you think foreign aid to India will reduce? In my eyes there’s only one winner in the way of a big brown envelope and it’s for Mrs Sunak through the back door!
