Tories plot to cut rules on City bosses' pay – while railing against public sector rises

Boris Johnson has railed against substantial pay rises for the public sector in Cabinet meetings

TORY ministers are plotting to slash controls on City bosses’ pay, while calling for wage restraint in the public sector.

Boris Johnson's chief of staff, Steve Barclay, has reportedly proposed a plan to the Chancellor for “deregulatory measures to reduce the overall burden on business” in an apparent effort to attract more companies to the UK following Brexit.
