Prime Minister Starmer clashes with unions over public sector pay due to UK's poor financial state.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces a conflict with unions over public sector pay as he warns that the UK's finances are in a "very poor state". Starmer's comments come as unions demand bumper pay increases, with junior doctors seeking a 35% rise. The PM said he would prioritise economic stability to bring down mortgage rates and not all union demands could be met due to the financial situation.
