David Cameron Under Fire From Labour As He Says Critics Of His Austerity Pay Cap Are 'Selfish'

David Cameron has sparked an angry backlash from Labour after declaring that critics of austerity are “selfish”.
In a rare return to the political front line, the former Prime Minister said that those calling for an end to the 1% public sector pay cap would be “spending money today that you may need tomorrow”.
His remarks, aimed at both Labour and Tory MPs calling for an end to the seven-year wages freeze, triggered a swift response from Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell.
