The military shouldn't be deployed to clean up the mess for an incompetent government that is unwilling to provide a better future for its people.

Troops be advised...the nurses were told they were owed a great debt too.

[michaelgriffiths]

Soldiers are working class. Rishi will never be friends with the working class. Your words mean nothing!

[HussPOE]

"we owe troops" just not with money, right?

[EliteFireSaint]

Greasy individual that no one voted in.

[CanonTogger]

Give them a pay rise then or better funding

[popp]

Didn't he say same about nurses????

[IBTU]

Could just pay the workers a good wage instead

[wflemo]

So rather than getting round the table to discuss fair pay the Tory response is too thank the armed forces for covering a strike their government caused ?? Yeah I’m sure that will solve the problem 🤨 we can pay them back for their services with a round of applause worked so well for those underpaid nhs staff 🤨

Unbelievable that he's using the Ukraine war to deny nurses a decent living wage - this would cost an estimated £1.6 bn, which doesn't compare to the banker's raise of £7.3bn which he freely handed out.

[asmith]

We owed the nurses after their heroic work during the pandemic but all they got was applause instead of their agreed pay rise carry on rishi

[monkeyboy]

Coordinated union action may bring down a corrupt and ineffective government - let's hope so.

[cliffhughes]

The army are pretty badly paid for what they do.

[berserkirclaws]

Who's fault is it Rishi ?🤨
The Tories favour the rich for so long, now we are in the situation where everyone else must catch up or the country will stop.

[paulhollins]

Not much gratitude towards the many homeless ex veterans who have followed the orders of our treacherous politicians in the past ..

[AB-giqy]

The military is always taken for granted until they're needed.

[professional]

Ukraıne should end thıs war now. Why loose more cıtıes and lıves?

[nedkelly]

all nurses firefighters army navy RAF ambulance drivers post workers train drivers teachers all workers need a pay rise

[TrailBlazingTalesTV]

I support the underpaid workers 👍 and we are in no debt what so ever to the armed services. Your in debt to millions of underpayed workers and this was your way around paying them 😢

[dropit]

I assume those personnel are not getting paid extra to work over Christmas. It seems like the Tories are allergic to compensating people for their hard work.
