Just a quick reminder, contracting out of AFPS ends next month.
It'll mean less going into the bank.
Bleakly and desperately scrambling around looking for any positives, the state pension is intended to provide more (plenty of time for that to be moved). And you'll not be paying more than civvies (this brings you into line with their NIC) so that makes it hard to complain specifically about this. Because after all, we are in it together.
But really, on the back of waves of token pay increases, it's going to be a very bitter pill to swallow and for some, it'll mean actively cutting back instead of downplaying aspirations (which is the effect of those 1% pay increases). Lots of folk still don't know about it so if you have a Twitter account, please feel free to retweet it.
Chapeau.
