Fury as education secretary Michael Gove rewards teacher pay freeze adviser with bumper pay rise

Isn't this what Occupy is all about!

AN EDUCATION spin doctor has been given an £11,000 pay rise.

Michael Gove rewarded key aide Dominic Cummings after telling teachers their pensions were being cut and their wages frozen.

Cummings now earns a taxpayer-funded £69,266 a year, up from £58,200 just six months ago.

Teachers’ unions reacted with fury to the bumper rise.

Chris Keates, of the NASUWT, said: “It is unjustifiable for the same people cutting the pay and pensions of public sector workers to approve a significant pay rise for a special adviser.”
