Nurses, the government has launched a consultation on having a separate pay spine for #nursing. Whatever your view, you should comment. @theRCN @WeNurses @nmcnews gov.uk/government/calls-for-โ€ฆ

After all the sacrifices our nurses made to keep us safe during the pandemic we cannot stand by and allow this Government to get away with its shameless campaign of misinformation and outright lies. If UK media wonโ€™t call this bull**** out letโ€™s do it ourselves
Instead of negotiating with our nurses over pay Rishi Sunak appears to be banking on his shameless campaign of misinformation, outright lies & breathtaking dishonesty turning the public against them So letโ€™s make sure everyone knows the TRUTH

"I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink" Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise bbc.in/364xut5
