@Peston Since the 2016 Brexit Referendum, unless the same job earns you >40% more today, you're now worse off! Since 2016: 🇬🇧 UK GBP inflation: 39.42% Wage growth: ~30% Real wages : negative ~10% 🇩🇪 Germany EUR inflation: 19.69% Wage growth: ~16% Real wages: negative ~3.7%

@Peston I thought Sunak was at least economically literate - not even that now…

@Peston The only way the Tories can deliver pay rises is by actually giving workers a real terms pay cut. If there's a better example of what it means to be a Tory I'd like to see it.

@Peston Profit growth is responsible for more of inflation than wage growth

@Peston We had the slowest wage growth in the G7 since the GFC. Meanwhile prices kept going up. This was a dam about to burst - it was just a matter of time. Absolutely hilarious that the government will boast about it and still blame it for high interest rates and inflation. I thought…

@Peston Yep another lie. 3.75 for Armed Forces personnel who have had to cover many strikes for much higher rises in pay. I'm not sure this Government knows how to tell the truth anymore and I thought that was mandatory in the House of Commons.

@Peston The only answer is for the government to cut spending and by extension borrowing

@Peston Sunak appears willing to brag about anything even when a nonsense but got a telling off at PMQs today from the Speaker for criticising Labour and asking them questions. The disrespect of Sunak to Parliament and Speaker!

@Peston And that mortgage pain is not just a year. For many, the rate needs to be fixed for 3 to 5 years. It is a longer term problem and the wage growth pressure will also be there for a longer period.

@Peston A fine example of Sunak showing all the “integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level” he promised. 😒 #Peston #PMQs

@Peston Lies

@Peston Totally impartial as usual Robert …😂😂😂😂😂

@Peston Fishie Rishie talking total de Piffle as ever. Tories are done

@Peston The fastest way to raise inflation other than helicopter use

@Peston @ExplainThisBob

@Peston If inflation & interest rates are taken into account Standard of livings are falling to 1980's level. Pathetic spinning #RishiSunak

@Peston

@Peston The private sector has to put wages up so people can put the heating on and buy food. Dead employees aren’t very productive. If they hadn’t increased the energy price cap as they did and when they did, this wouldn’t have spiralled nearly so fast.

@Peston I’m sure junior doctors will be delighted to hear that 🙄😠

@Peston On the sidelines carping again Robert. Dear God, is that all you have. zzzzzzzz.
