NatWest wants to increase CEO pay from £5.4m to £7.7m, 43% increase.
Govts tell workers wage rises are inflationary; don't curb exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.
Reckless risk-taking boosts exec pay, shareholder returns. People pick up the bailout tab

Not a single Reform UK MP in parliament for the statement and debate on NHS reforms. Naturally, since they favour the US system of healthcare that manages to bankrupt 500,000 Americans annually.
@Nigel_Farage What's the difference between unelected people in Brussels and unelected people in the USA interfering in British politics? Even people in the USA are questioning why Musk is being allowed so much access, suggesting he may be a National security risk, a bit like you.
Spain built a 385.9 mile high speed train line from Madrid to Barcelona it cost £8.1bn.
The UK is still building a 140 mile high speed train line which will cost over £100bn.
Who is stealing all the money?

Two billionaire (tax absent) right-wing media barons (one a US citizen, the other a non-dom) own almost 3/4 of the weekly newspaper circulation in the UK…
How can that be right? They have an outsized influence over our country. We need to reform media ownership rules.
Every word of this is true. Democracy is under siege around the world, the far right and their immensely powerful corporate backers are at war with those who believe capitalism must be controlled and managed, that oligarchs must cease and desist from dismantling hard won freedoms under the terms of the social contract.
What did the 1945 Labour government do after the Second World War with the biggest debt imaginable? They introduced the welfare state the NHS and a massive housebuilding program. Democratic Socialism the fastest way to grow an economy in British History #pmqs
England's polluting water companies have 1,109 criminal convictions. Puny £160m fines.
United Utilities has 205 convictions; Thames Water 187.
Govt response - People must hand more money to the crime syndicate, leaks and sewage dumping will continue.
