Chancellor Philip Hammond calls nurses and cops 'overpaid' while raking in £1. As millions of public sector ­workers he claims are “overpaid” struggle to meet household bills, Philip ­Hammond enjoys a rent- free life in homes paid for with taxpayer cash. And apart from the two grace and favour properties the Chancellor has use of, he is also pocketing £1.

Tycoon Mr Hammond was last night accused of being out of touch with the public sector staff, including cleaners, nurses, teachers and 9. And the hypocritical Tory sparked even more fury by declaring “there isn’t a free lunch” – despite the two homes he does not pay for. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: “He is living on a different planet.“Public sector workers have had frozen wages for the past seven years.”Unison branded Mr Hammond’s claim that nurses and hospital cleaners are overpaid “offensive”.

The union’s assistant general ­secretary Christina Mc. Anea said: “The Chancellor’s remarks show he is completely out of touch. After seven years of a punishing pay cap, all public sector employees need a pay rise."The care worker hurrying from house to house doesn’t feel overpaid, nor does the hospital cleaner working round the clock, or the teaching assistant going the extra mile for the children.“They are all low paid, all vital, and all in need of a pay rise now.”Luxury house in Belgravia he is making cash on.

The Royal College of Nursing added: “Nurses across the UK are being forced to take second jobs, rely on family handouts or even turn to foodbanks.“It would be insulting of the ­Government to claim these people earn too much.”But Mr Hammond yesterday shamelessly tried the old Tory trick of pitching ordinary people against each other by declaring public sector staff are better paid than private workers. Interviewed on the BBC Andrew Marr show, he failed to deny saying at a Cabinet meeting cleaners and others were overpaid.

It is a simple fact that public sector workers on average are paid about 1. The only way we can create the high wage economy we want to have sustainably is to increase productivity, to get our public finances into good order. There isn’t a short cut.

But he denied in the TV interview yesterday claims he made sexist remarks about women train drivers. Mr Corbyn called on the Chancellor and other Tories to “reconnect” with ordinary people rather than just focusing on their rich chums. He said: “There should be a bit more time spent talking to those who do the difficult jobs in our public services.

Transformers: The Last Knight' Review Roundup. Early reviews are in for Transformers: The Last Knight, the fifth film in the Michael Bay- directed action franchise, and it's not looking good. The film currently has a 1. Watch They Shoot Horses, Don`T They? Online (2017).

Rotten Tomatoes, with a Metacritic score of 2. The Hasbro toys- inspired franchise is no stranger to those kinds of numbers, with the last two films in the series —Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: Dark of the Moon — receiving an 1. Rotten Tomatoes, respectively. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Frank Scheck, one of the film's weakest points is its bloated plot. Anyone capable of explaining the near- incomprehensible storyline deserves a prize of some sort," writes Scheck. And, he says, although the screenplay is ambitious, it's "all an overstuffed mess."The film stars Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Hopkins as inventor Cade Yeager and English lord Sir Edmond Burton, respectively.

Cade, along with a handful of supporting characters, must assist the Autobots in another fight between good and evil. According to Scheck, Wahlberg, who is leaving the franchise after this film, makes the most of his role.

However, he says, "Hopkins, who’s clearly entered the baroque phase of his career, seems to be having a great deal of fun — although every time he smiles, it seems less organic to his character and more about the new beach house he’s going to buy with the money he’s raking in."In a one out of four- star review, USA Today's Brian Truitt writes that the film "reaches new levels of badness." Agreeing that the plot is overstuffed, Truitt explains, "Even if you love alien robots punching each other while tossing out insipid one- liners, it’s a painfully long two and a half hours where the biggest problem isn’t a lack of plot, but way too many of them."Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt was slightly warmer towards the film, giving it a C- plus review. She writes, "In rare moments, [Bay] does attempt to inject a little sense and context into the franchise’s frenzied mash of Hasbro- toy kitsch and blockbuster bombast."Greenblatt adds: "True fans probably don’t need the tangled universe of good versus evil explained to them: Bionic aliens rumble; ancient monuments crumble; guys in the middle of robot Armageddon deliver wry one- liners. That’s just what you do when things go boom."Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times was also slightly more favorable in his review, calling the film "surprisingly bearable." Despite what Chang calls Bay's "casual disregard for even the most casual requirements of narrative logic and continuity," he says the director does have a knack for turning "incoherence into its own form of hyperkinetic abstract art."In a one out of five- star review, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw compares the film to a Marvel one. And so the ageless, endless, pointless struggle between good and evil in the Transformer community recommences, and the final explosive showdown seems to be competing with Marvel movies for spectacle."However, he adds, where Marvel films "bring wit and fun," the latest in the Transformers franchise "is in very short supply" of both. Transformers: The Last Knight hits theaters June 2.
