Earning it

The Sun produces a formulaic BBC harrumph story this morning, complete with outrage from Tory Andrew Bridgen and the Tax Payers Alliance. 1,763 BBC employees has a pay increase of more than 10 per cent last year - they make up 9.1 per cent of the BBC’s 19,357 full-time staff in the UK.

The BBC mildly expostulates that the increases are the result of promotions or people taking on extra responsibility - nowt else. Currently there are also a whole range of union agreements about "growth in job", reaching "fully effective salaries", which mean managers have an obligation to review those placed at the low ends of salary bands when they start, and, taken with genuine promotions and a whole load of new digital stuff to do, the figures seem reasonable.

Any chance Rebekah might share The Sun's figures ?
