Tezza’s pay rise bonanza

THERESA May will leave a last-minute legacy to millions of public servants with a pay rise.

The outgoing Prime Minister has vowed two million workers will benefit.

The armed forces get a 2.9% pay rise, and teachers and other school staff will see a 2.75% increase.

Dentists and NHS consultants get 2.5%.

But unions have slammed the last-minute top-ups. Unite assistant general secretary Gail Cartmail said: “These below-inflation pay rises exclude nearly two-thirds of public sector workers.”
