Party criticised for delay in acting over comments in which Azhar Ali suggested Israel had allowed 7 October attack to happen
There is economic news this morning – UK pay growth has slowed, albeit by less than expected. My colleague Phillip Inman writes:
The ONS said annual growth in regular earnings, excluding bonuses, was 6.2% in October to December 2023, while pay rises including bonuses was 5.8%.
After wages were adjusted for inflation, the ONS said workers enjoyed a fourth month of real wage increases. Total pay rose on the year by 1.6% above the consumer prices index and regular pay rose on the year by 1.9% in October to December 2023.
