Police Federation ‘no longer has confidence’ in Priti Patel after pay freeze
The Metro says: The organisation representing over 130,000 rank rank-and-file police officers has said it no longer has confidence in the Home Secretary following a pay freeze.
Priti Patel has confirmed police officers earning more than £24,000 would be hit by the freeze, while those earning less will be given an annual rise of £250.
The Police Federation of England and Wales, which had opposed the decision, said the pay system was ‘not fit for purpose’ and announced plans to withdraw its support from the body which reviews remuneration.
National chairman John Apter said: ‘We often hear the Home Secretary praise police officers but our members are so angry with this Government. They have been on the frontline of this pandemic for 18 months and will now see other public services given pay increases while they receive nothing.
