    Average wages in private sector since May 2010 up by 6.9% ie a real fall of 5.3%

    Average wages in "cosseted public sector" up by 5.4% ie a real fall of 6.8%.

    Only PB Tories would not already know that it hasn't paid to work in last 4 years.

    Overall levels of employment are far higher than four years ago. Overall household incomes are higher than four years ago. Households' assets are worth more, and their debts less, than four years ago. So most people, not just the top 1% are better off.

    Most PB Tories (ex-Tories in my case) are in work. My own turnover (and I'm not part of the 1%) is up 30% on four years ago.
    Again not true re household income

    Equalised household income figures

    1997 £22,139
    2010 £29,965(35.3% increase 4.1% per annum)
    2013 £28,676(down 4.3% in first 4 years)

    Cant find a number for this post Dec 2013 yet on ONS site

    "Only PB Tories would not already know that it hasn't paid to work in last 4 years."

    What on earth does that mean?

    Well I frequently hear the Tories state we have made work pay whilst at the same time by all the CPI/AER/Household income Stats people in work are worse off than in 2010.

    I repeat can anyone show me the stat that shows earnings have outstripped inflation since 2010.

    Anecdotes or FTSE 100 Directors only stats do not count or maybe illustrate my point re PB Tories

    Big John, I have worked in the past four years. How would I have been better off by not working? Clearly your proposition that it hasn't paid to work in the last 4 years is complete bollocks.
