Venkatakrishnan took home about £10.5m in 2024, I'm sure he's the best person to comment on what the public sector spending should be.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Someone has to pay for his multimillion pay!
Yes but you get what you pay for you greedy little piggy. The public sector is constantly asked to do more with less. The media is quick at decrying the pitiful pay increases but are equally quick at pointing the finger when something goes wrong, be it passports backlogs or flooding events. In other words, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
I should know, I'm a monkey.
Inflation only pay rises by default. Anything else needs to be proved on merit. That way you're not "loosing money" as you keep up with inflation and the incentive is to improve your work output to gain more. This includes high and low earners.
