My wife and I are both public sector employees(me MOD and her NHS) there have been lots of redundancies. Trouble is the workload has not decreased, we are now very shortstaffed and they are not allowing recruitment.

No pay rise for the last few years and we might get 1%

But we are both retiring next year as we are old enough and have decided enough is enough!

Prior to my joining MOD I was in the RAF, there were a large number made redundant! The army are shedding more this year too.

MPs are public sector employees-perhaps they should look at their numbers?

I say give the MPs their rise but cut all expenses-they choose to work in London their lookout! Either that or 1% only!
