"This year, the average FTSE100 CEO took less than three days to earn what the typical UK worker will in all of 2026. In the case of Melrose, where the CEO earned 1509 times the median UK salary, it will take him just under 3 hours to do so. These disparities come in a context of long-term wage stagnation, falling living standards and a significant decline in worker trust in their employers. ... proposing a new ‘Fat Cat Tax’, whereby firms would pay a corporation tax surcharge on their yearly profits if single-figure remuneration for an executive director exceeds a specified multiple of the median UK worker’s salary. This would be a progressive system, starting with a small tax on those pay packages that exceed 10:1, before increasing in size at thresholds of 50:1, 100:1, 200:1 and 500:1. "

This is just on example of what we're up against. Ringway are contracted to maintain our roads in Gloucestershire.

This exemplifies the quality of their work! A two year old with a bucket and spade could do better.

I checked out ringway and this is what I discovered:-

Ringway have an interesting strapline: Delivering highways differently

They are actually Ringway Infrastructure Service Ltd.

Contracts with
Hertfordshire County Council
Milton Keynes City Council
Worcestershire County Council
Gloucestershire County Council
Bracknell Forest Council

They generated about £16m of profit last year (this is the rough ballpark per anum) which I assume winds its way through VINCI Construction Holding Limited which has a controlling interest of their shares.

VINCI Construction Holding Limited consolidates other PFI contracts; Ringway Hounslow Highways Ltd, Ringway Island Roads Ltd along with many other interests, Taylor Woodrow etc.

Despite consolidated income of £2.2bn, inexplicably (to me at least) this becomes a £21m loss......

Anyway Vinci SA, a french public limited company, has a controlling interest in VINCI Construction Holding Limited.

I just cannot understand why Highway maitainance isn't done in-house. There are far too many fat cats in this supply chain.
