As many workers in the UK need financial snookers to get to the end of each month, business leaders have been publicly empathising.
FTSE 100 CEO Oscar Oldroyd said 'My pay has only gone up to only £500,000 this year. Oh, my mistake, not up to £500,000, up by £500,000 to nearly £4 million. I am doing my bit though. I quite regularly have the air con turned down at my second tax-adjacent holiday villa in the British Virgin Islands.'
'In order to help fight inflation, I support the government refusing to budge on pay deals for nurses, doctors and whoever. These public sector do-gooders must accept responsibility for the fiscal problems that they didn’t cause. Haven’t they learned anything from the 2008 crisis?'
