Millions of teachers, nurses and more public sector workers get pay rise
Millions of teachers, NHS staff and other public sector workers have been told how much their pay will rise today. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has accepted recommendations from independent pay review bodies (PRBs) on how much wages should increase in 2025/26 financial year.. Most doctors and dentists have been handed 4% pay awards plus a consolidated sum of £750, while NHS staff on Agenda for Change contracts will see their pay go up by 3.6%. Teachers will receive a 4% award, while school staff including teaching assistants, caterers, admin staff and caretakers have been offered 3.2%. Senior military (two-star rank and above) will receive a 3.75% increase to base pay, while other members of the armed forces will see their wages rise by 4.5%. Top civil servants will get a pay boost of 3.25%. The figure is higher than the 2.8% budgeted for by the Treasury - which was branded an 'insult' last year. Unions have warned that pay hikes must be fully-funded rather than paid for through stretched school and hospital budgets. It comes after the Labour Government ended a wave of public sector strikes last summer by accepting recommendations to increase public sector pay by between 4.75% and 6% for 2024-25. Doctors, nurses and teachers had been among those taking part in mass walkouts during Rishi Sunak's premiership. * This is a breaking news story.

Keir Starmer suggests he'll U-turn on winter fuel cuts after huge backlash
Keir Starmer has suggested he is looking at U-turning on his decision to cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. We'll be bringing you the latest updates on this Breaking Politics News story. Keir Starmer has suggested he is looking at U-turning on his decision to cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. The Prime Minister said he wants "to ensure as we go forward more pensioners are eligible for winter fuel payments". He has been under mounting pressure to roll back on the controversial decision to means-test winter fuel payments. It is said that the Government is considering a re-think of the £11,500 cut-off for the allowance. The PM said he will look at the decision "as part of a fiscal event", which could indicate a change in the policy next month after the Spending Review. During PMQs, Mr Starmer told MPs: "We all know the economy was left in absolute mess by the Tories."We had to stabilise the economy with tough decisions but the right decisions. Because of those decisions it is beginning to improve."He added: "I recognise people are still feeling the pressure of the cost of living crisis including pensioners, and as the economy improves we want to make sure people feel those improvements as their lives go forward."That is why we want to ensure as we go forward more pensioners are eligible for winter fuel payments."As you would expect we will only make sure we make decisions we can afford. That is why we will look at that as part of a fiscal event." We'll be bringing you the latest updates on this Breaking Politics News story.
