gnr - unfortunately probably not limited to Labour.

The NHS is stuck with high costs of bulb changing and onetime use syringe & scalpel disposal, because of unions and your intransigent view that commonsense is NOT all you need to do everyday jobs. It was the Labour party that created Hospital Trusts, beg the City to provide yet unstolen pension funds(PFI) for infrastructure then brand them the enemy of good health and wellbeing! Idiot Corbyn should concentrate on current NHS mismanagement wasting a staggering £7.6bn a year on overpriced loo rolls, cardboard urine bottles and other disposables. Reason is worst examples in Labour run Wales and SNP Scotland!

Your posts are getting a little boring and tedious. Can you please make them interesting rather than copy/paste propaganda?

Some of us couldn't care less about the anti-semitism false news. :)

"cooperation is key to efficiency not the BS of Corbyn & Co."

But the US government don't do cooperation. Certainly not with Trump at the wheel.

Corbyn is not lying, those meetings took place and the NHS procurement market has been discussed. Fact.

Lloyds cuts CEO pay in favour of raises for general staff.


Lloyds Banking Group is planning to cut the pay of its chief executive by more than £220,000 while spending £20m on pay rises for the rest of its staff, as the bank moves to address criticism of its generous executive pensions policy.

António Horta-Osório, Lloyds’ chief executive, receives a pension allowance worth 33 per cent of his salary, compared with an average contribution of 13 per cent of salary for the rest of the lender’s 65,000 employees.

Lloyds, which also owns the Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows brands, has told shareholders it plans to give all staff an annual pension contribution equivalent to 15 per cent of their base salary from next year, according to people briefed on the discussions.

The change would reduce Mr Horta-Osório’s allowance by about £228,000, based on his 2019 salary. The bank is yet to finalise its broader remuneration policy, but two people briefed on the shareholder discussions said it was not intending to offset the pension reduction with other pay increases.

The chief executive received total pay of £6.3m in 2018. For this year, he will be paid a guaranteed £2.8m, plus bonuses.

Mr Horta-Osório was one of several industry executives who came under fire from MPs and campaigners earlier this year after new governance guidelines came into force recommending that executives’ pension contributions should be brought into line with the majority of employees.

This month, the lender Standard Chartered said it would halve the allowances given to chief executive Bill Winters and chief financial officer Andy Halford, months after Mr Winters called investors who complained about his pay “immature and unhelpful”.

Mr Horta-Osório’s allowance had already been reduced this year from 46 per cent of his salary in 2018, which the bank said was in line with guidelines that stated allowances could be reduced gradually.

But MPs on the Commons work and pensions committee accused Lloyds of showing “boundless greed” by refusing to cut faster.

The bank also cut the amount Mr Horta-Osório would receive in lieu of an old pension he gave up when he joined Lloyds, but the move — worth just £3,000 this year — was described as an “obscene piece of symbolism” by one staff union.

Stuart Sinclair, the head of Lloyds’ remuneration committee, said in June that “we’re at an inflection point in British pay”, and said the bank would be “very conscious” of the demands for convergence as it designed its new policy.

BBJ if every stenographed meeting with foreign ambassadors were to be published in full, unredacted! the Foreign Office will loose its nerve and never summon a transgressing nation, fearing repercussions from the enemy within!
I agree the Yanks always weight the scales to their advantage! We know full well how to deal with it!
The NHS will always be free at the point of delivery, we must do deals with the US for scanners, diagnostic software, instrumentation and research that are better bought than duplicated here, cooperation is key to efficiency not the BS of Corbyn & Co.

I have some bad news for you.

The yanks are already here (shock horror)


I know they are already here. And we also depend on their drugs and that they need to make profits in order to fund R&D. I also accept that they do have a point when the strength of NHS procurement increases the delta between what a US person costs and a UK person costs for treatment. But the result is a symptom of their own system as much as it is ours, a balance is needed. I just can't see a Tory government having the strength to see off opening our procurement market when they will be making massive effort in order to prove leaving the EU was the right thing to do making our government desperate for US business. The NHS will be funded more and the result will be that it just feeds through onto the US pharmaceuticals' bottom line - it will be just like the £10Bn HTB scheme that went right through on to residential house builders' margin. The extra funding will have little effect on available bed numbers and if Boris is to build all these hospitals and schools they will need the staff to fill them with the right skills from consultants, directors down to cleaners - in other words, allowing immigration to continue. The only difference will be the paperwork that enables the same activity, but I guess if it makes the morons feel safer then spending a few hundred million will not hurt in the context of wasted £Bns. 🙄

Bojo the Magnificent Liar: Unredacted negotiation records over 2 years show that the NHS HAS BEEN PART OF SIX ROUNDS OF MEETINGS.

Both Boris and Liz Truss add to the deception in attempting to deny their own records.

Divorce rate in Scotland decreasing over the years! so highly unlikely to leave the Union, even with the high-heel temptress leading them astray with promises of high settlement meal tickets for life should they disavow their recent reasserting of commitments!

NHS for sale folks. Boris is lying.

Some of you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the NHS - think about that. Don't deny your offspring and theirs the same opportunity you had.

The US pharmaceutical companies are like of pack of wolves and make no mistake drug prices WILL increase and certain drugs will be taken off the list for use in treatment.

before oil was found in scotland we subsidized scotland for years,did not hear too many complaints then did we??

"I think you said you spend 30k a year on them. Do you need to?"

Wow think of the help that could give the homeless.....

[crossing_the_rubicon] 27/11/2019 11:57

"EU sourced contamination is OK, US sourced contamination is not OK lol. Typical lefty double standards"

That's because for Lefties,and Remoaners, Anti Americanism drives their sentiments not the actualite of whether EU sourced food is as contaminated as US sourced food.

"The Jocks want to break away from the rest of blighty, only to rush into the arms of the sprouts and be subsumed. How do you make sense of that proposition?"

Jocks choice surely?

I couldn't care less what they decide to do personally.

I'd certainly be happy to see the back of SNP whinging,whining,and overt anti Englishness whilst taking our subsidies

Great to see the new SNP slogan - ‘SUBSIDIES FOR SCOTLAND’.
