https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/apr/22/nurses-leader-blasts-disgraceful-use-of-legal-action-to-stop-strike

"The leader of the Royal College of Nursing has said a legal attempt by the health secretary to block next weekend’s strike in England is “frightening for democracy and very frightening for trade unionism”."

Pay nurses a decent wage!

£14 an hour!! That is all. At the moment Pret A Manger pays its barrista’s £14…. Pay restoration would increase their salary to £19 an hour. £19 an hour for all they do (not to mention their debt) is quite frankly a bargain! #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorStrikes #JuniorDoctor #supportNHS #SupportJuniorDoctors

Seeing so many of these #SNHS tremendous stories which is in complete contrast to the narrative the British are painting of the services in Scotland. I know who I believe, and it isn’t @jackiebmsp@twitter.com and her anti-Scottish motley crew. #DissolveTheUnion #supportNHS

Despite what the NHS haters and Tories say, this is the truth of our nurses/doctors/health workers.

Doctors criticise ‘delusional’ Rishi Sunak for denying NHS is in crisis | NHS | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/03/doctors-criticise-delusional-rishi-sunak-denying-nhs-crisis

"Amid mounting anger over shortages and delays that could be causing unnecessary deaths, doctors and opposition parties reacted with scorn, anger and disbelief to comments made by the prime minister’s official spokesperson at a Downing Street briefing."

@kityates Kit, please just ignore if no interest / no time, I really appreciate the invaluable commentary from you & #IndependentSage - but I have been intrigued to discover the resonances from 1796 when the 21-yr old #JaneAusten started writing #PrideAndPrejudice, & how her characters encapsulate perspectives dividing #UKpolitics then & now.

@Tony_Meredith Thanks for drawing my attention to the relevance of #PrideAndPrejudice to #UKpolitics today. 225 years ago #Britain had a #Tory #PrimeMinister pushing for a fairer society with a #LivingIncome & an expansion of #WelfareBenefits. He was supported by many enlightened landowners but undermined by proponents of low taxes, #TrickleDownEconomics, & #charity. All astutely observed by #JaneAusten!

Wish journalists would be more honest with figures. Average is meaningless unless they say what they are averaging. Ceo earning a million and a single cleaner earning minimum wage the average is pretty high. If you have a thousand cleaners on min wage the average is still high but meaningless when talking about the wage of the minimum worker. The average is whatever the speaker wants it to mean

Get pay and conditions negotiations in public so we can understand the real story.

@AliQuack Best #advice ever. The #inflammaTORY language from #UKGovt this morning is a disgrace and will make people dig their heels in all the more.
#SupportTheStrikers #SupportNHS #BackTheAmbulanceWorkers

@Tony_Meredith However, the general reader would surely have recognised an allusion to #EdmundBurke, & the contrast to #EarlFitzwilliam & the D’Arcy & Darby families who supported Pitt’s proposals to help the poor. Burke also opposed the meritocracy which enabled the rise of Jane's brothers.

I recommend ‘#PrideAndPrejudice and the #PoorLaws’ by Sheryl Craig, https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Pride+and+Prejudice+and+poor+laws.-a0370031582
- fascinating in the context of current #UKpolitics!

Posted @withrepost • @scroobiuspipyo Big love & support to everyone striking today.
In these times action needs to be taken.
Again & again.

The government and right wing media commentators won't often mention this, but it's true.

An Ipsos poll found that over half (52%) of the British public support the strikes, with only 27% against. When you take away the don't knows that means around two thirds of the British public support the strikes.

This figure is consistent with all the polling that has been done in the last few months on the topic of nursing staff strikes.
