@StephenMorganMP The Sep rate of CPI was 3.8%.

@AndrewHWestern @UKLabour Factory built houses are the only way we'll meet demand. Quality & quantity using serviced plots.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@CrimeLineLaw It's not above inflation. The measure normally used is the Sep rate of CPI which was 3.8%. MoD have used the Apr rate & spun it into a positive.

@AvonandsomerRob Prob all on lease or finance. No-one in their right mind would buy one outright.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@JohnHealey_MP The Sep rate is normally used which was 3.8% so 3.6% isn't inflation busting. Mil personnel know this so they will now assume you are economical with the truth & won't believe anything you say. Your fault I'm afraid 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@BladeoftheS They use proper accountants who know what they're doing. HMRC uses WFH, DEI riddled sick notes who are as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@LukePollard It's supposed to be the Sep rate of CPI which was 3.8% not 3.6%. You've made up a different figure & spun it to make a headline. Stop lying, please, just stop.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@Telegraph You could close Whitehall & it would make absolutely no discernible difference to military output.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@DefenceHQ Historically inflationary pay rises used the Sep rate of CPI which stood at 3.8%. Your deliberate manipulation to quote a different figure is disingenuous at best. Note that accom charges will rise by 3.8%. You snakes.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@AvonandsomerRob No, electricity is still way too expensive unless you've got PV to offset the cost.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@TheVietGwent @DrChrisParry @BritishArmy Absolutely, some BS report or Staff paper is not required.

@thinkdefence I'll bet there's a simple & cheap fix for the noise & vibration issues. Experiment with tie bars & different isolation mounts, it's hardly beyond the wit of man.

@UKDefJournal MSI 30mm are fitted to T23, T45 & river class OPV and will be fitted to T26. QEC also have space margin for them. Prob not fitted to T31 because they'll have Bofors 40mm.

@rawespresso Nothing new, I remember most of my era at the same age had pretty much nothing saved and family allowance was pretty much the only benefit if you were in work. No tax credits, housing benefit or UC.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@bphillipsonMP They're not free, my tax is paying for it.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@AlistairCarns Thanks. Where's my 2015 pension remedy? Not enough resource allocated to the task, I'll have left this mortal coil by the time MoD gets it's act together.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@PolitlcsUK @DailyMirror CPI used for forces pay rises normally the 12m Sep rate from previous year which was 3.8%. Inflation busting from this Govt could be 3.9%!

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@Gabriel64869839 The whole DIP will be written like this, 'kin drivelley word salad Civil Service crap.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@NavyLookout @Keir_Starmer 9 months late, bit like my pension remedy to date.

[Jeremy Ball @Jerball3]

@iAmJoshHunt The last gasps by the machinery of state, mired in process, bloated by bureaucrats obsessed with LGBT or off sick, everyone on the take, no unity.
