That’s me 👊👊👊
“Patients are at risk every single day of the week… people are dying in the back of ambulances and this cannot go on”
This #bbcqt audience member, a nurse, says she will continually vote to strike “for patient safety”

This guy was fantastic, and everything he said was spot on.
Audience to Conservative
“You’re demonising the Dr’s & Nurses for striking. They are striking FOR patient safety. Majority of NHS has been flogged off to the private sector & they cream off the top. They need to take their paws off our nhs!”
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How wages have faired.
MPs: Pay ⬆️ 22% in real terms since 2010
Bankers: Bonuses ⬆️ 101% in cash terms since 2008
CEOs: Pay ⬆️ 23% in 2022 alone
Teachers: Pay 🔻 24% since 2010
Nurses: Pay 🔻 20% since 2010
Whose wages are causing the inflation?

Home from work to my ballot paper which is going straight back out in the post!
I will #VoteToStrike as the current situation is not safe or sustainable.
Strikes work, and we continue fighting for what we are owed from this corrupt bunch of clowns in power.
Here we go again. Listen up @SteveBarclay, we aren't going away. #nurses will never be silenced when we know our patients are suffering. @theRCN @RCNLondon @NurseSayNO #fairpayfornurses #safestaffing

Congress day two! Cannot wait for our event on Wednesday eve, are you coming along?
#RCN23 #RCNCongress2023
This is one of the sadest videos I've seen outlining the deterioration of one of our last public services. Why is this government determined to destroy it? #RCNStrike #NHSCrisis @NurseSayNO @SteveBarclay @theRCN
Thank you @KateOsborneMP for your support. Utterly disgraceful behaviour from the health secretary.
It is a disgrace that the government have taken nurses to court to stop them taking industrial action.
Instead of legal action against nurses, the government should be improving its pay offer and listening to nurses.
Solidarity with @theRCN members

John McDonnell 🔥🔥
The Tories need to stop repeating the line if paying nurses fairly would be too expensive
It’ll cost £1bn which is the exact amount the Tories gave the pension relief pot for high earners in the budget

A fantastically clear and representative interview by @patcullen9 on @bbclaurak program this morning. This government has turned their back on the NHS for a decade. @SteveBarclay, its time to take responsibility for your mess. @theRCN #FairPayforNursing

The Royal College of Nursing has reignited the workforce this past year. We have all sent a clear message to our respective governments. The UK government should have listened! The time for half measures is over #allout #votereject

It’s not just about us!

How can @theRCN say “These talks will not be reopened if members reject this pay offer”
It is our democratic right to refuse a lousy deal which will not address the crisis in the NHS which is unfolding as staff are being driven into poverty. rcn.org.uk/news-and-events/B…

"The real disruption to the NHS comes from a decade of below inflation pay rises, a decade of under investment in the service"
@nurseboothroyd talking about the nurses pay deal

“This doesn’t go far enough.”
The government’s new pay offer won’t stop workers “leaving the health service in droves,” Royal College of Nursing member, Maxine Wade tells @alextomo.
Laura retweeted
Donna Hales, who has worked as a nurse in Sheffield for 38 years and has been striking alongside her colleagues, tells @mrdanwalker she won't be accepting the government's new pay offer for NHS workers in England as it "doesn't really benefit" staff on more senior roles.

The government think a below inflation pay offer for 2023/24 is fair. We are worth more than 5.2% and a lump sum for the last financial year that will be eaten up by the increased NI and pension contributions. We will not be walked all over anymore. #SOSNHS #Fairpay #nurselife
While the cost of everything has gone up, nursing pay has not.
The end result? Thousands of nursing staff driven out of the profession because they can't afford the basics.
#FairPayForNursing protects the nursing profession and the public.
