The government has awarded public sector workers, including doctors, teachers and those in the armed forces, a pay rise of around 4%. Armed Forces Minister, Luke Pollard MP, speaks as unions argue it's not enough and warn of possible strike action.

@LukePollard UP to 4%! No worker should be accepting this. Most of civil and public sector have taken real terms pay cut of up to 23%. As bad as Tory’s. W wry single sector should be on strike at same time.

@LukePollard Unions own number 10 again.

@LukePollard Aye, 4% is hardly enough to keep the lights on or fill the fridge. Time they sorted proper pay instead of endless lip service.

@LukePollard Another day at lefty gmb, no real questioning of this liebour minister typical lip service from tweedle dee and tweedle dumb Friday presenters

@LukePollard They are buying votes as they know they are toast at the next election.

@LukePollard Meanwhile large sections of the Private Sector get something between 0% and 2% and they have to subsidise these people's defined benefit pensions via taxation. This is profoundly wrong

@LukePollard The unions know Labour will give in and that they’ve got 4 years to milk them as they’ll be gone for a long time after that

@LukePollard British army awarded a 4% pay rise but accommodation charges risen by 7%

@LukePollard The British have a history of being on the wrong side when it comes to the #Israel #Palestine issue #Keir_Starmer follows #macron it is a shared land #trump gets it #potus

@LukePollard Labour government.... wealthy people leave UK .... strikes by public sector workers which make the lives MISERABLE for all, including tax payers who PAY their wages. Labour government!!
