strikes — sometimes the tories think they can shrug off the political problem by pointing to labour's links with the uniones, which has averted many of the strikes we have seen in england, but also because we have a plan to grow the economy and make sure that money goes back into people's pockets. unless you get a grip on the economy, you will never have enough to reward people fairly because the cost of living crisis is out of control. that is why we have said we will invest in clean energy and emerging technologies all over the country in order to get good jobs back into communities that have seen them disappear, money back into people's pockets and the economy growing again. so people's pockets and the economy growing again-— people's pockets and the economy growing again. so you say you would -a ublic growing again. so you say you would pay public sector— growing again. so you say you would pay public sector workers _ growing again. so you say you would pay public sector workers more, - growing again. so you say you would pay public sector workers more, but| pay public sector workers more, but how muc
