British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has revealed that the government has approved a wage increase of between 5 and 7 percent for millions of employees, demanding an end to the strikes that have been going on for months, after what he described as the "final offer".

The head of the conservative government noted during a press conference, that "I can confirm that we accept the recommendations of the salary appraisal bodies in full," calling on "all union officials to accept these wage proposals and cancel their strikes," warning that it is the "last offer" of the government.

The announced increases provide for 6.5 percent for teachers, 7 percent for police, 6 percent for some hospital doctors who have started a five-day strike, and 5 percent for the military.
