Rishi Sunak statement after pay rise for public sector workers

The transcript discusses the government's decision to accept independent pay review bodies' recommendations for public sector pay increases. It emphasizes fairness to both public sector workers and taxpayers, explaining that the increases will not be funded by higher taxes or borrowing. Instead, government departments will find savings elsewhere. The decision follows negotiations with unions, leading to the suspension of planned strikes by teaching unions and NHS workers. The government urges remaining unions to accept the offer, highlighting the negative impact of continued strikes on public services.
