"Unfortunately, the government have missed yet another opportunity to put this right. We came here in good faith. What they want to talk about is productivity."

"Our members are working 18-hour shifts. How you become more productive with that I do not know."

Onay Kasab from Unite Union, following his meeting with health secretary Steve Barclay over NHS staff pay dispute.

I'm actually really proud of my dad, he has enough money that he doesn't need to work but he's decided to go & work for the ambulance service, I'm proud of him because he didn't have to do this, it's not an easy job, the pay is crap but he wants to help our emergency services!

Our health is at risk cause of the Tories & our healthcare professionals are poorer than they were before the Tories took over. We must boot them from power & we can't rely on Starmer to protect our countries greatest achievement!

And so @NorthBristolNHS@twitter.com ED majors, minors, corridors, & ambulances were again filled with acute medics and geriatricians to clerk & safely discharge. All other work postponed to stand with nursing colleagues. We’ve done it before. We’ll keep doing it. twitter.com/drphilipbraude/sta

In Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon negotiated with nursing unions and agreed a pay rise to avoid strike action. The pay rise will be paid for using a modest increase in tax on Scotland's top earners.
Sunak should take note. Negotiations are not impossible. Pay rises are not impossible. Tax rises are not impossible.

Impossible is eating the sun. Everything else is a political choice.

As Rishi Sunak keeps insisting it's impossible to negotiate a pay rise with nursing staff to end strike action, your reminder that Nicola Surgeon in Scotland negotiated a pay rise with nursing staff to end strike action.

What did Sturgeon do differently?
She negotiated.

The resolve these nurses have is strong and in January it will be an escalation. It will involve a longer period of time and significantly more organisations.”

Not the answers that the interviewer wanted, methinks. So well answered; countered on every point.

In the U.K., Nurses are asking for a 19% pay increase. This only sounds unreasonably high until you break it down.

14% is the cost of living increase, as evidenced by the Retail Price Index.

5% is the real terms pay cut nurses have suffered over 12 years of tory government.

All the nurses are asking for is their real terms wages to be restored to 2010 levels, the same as it was before the tories came to power.

Does 19% sound unreasonable to you now?

If I had a penny for every time I heard a Tory mp say how unreasonable it is for the nurses to be asking for a 19% pay rise, I could afford to give the nurses a 19% pay rise.
