Medicine is the profession where when the canary in the coal mine dies, all the leaders look around and ask:
"Why can't we get more resilient canaries?"

Nice Article Kevin.
In my old job in #Kodak there hasn’t been cost of living rises since 2017. This energy Crisis is swallowing up any disposable income anyone has. It will be the end of pubs restaurants and any thing that is good. Time to end this #CostofGreedCrisis

Being in A and E last night, seeing how bad it is, NHS staff just working flat out and 11 hour wait. I was getting even more furious with this government. This is on them. The NHS staff were brilliant.
This chart showing what’s happened to pay since 2010 in peer countries in grey and the UK in blue.
It is astonishing.
The strikes are caused by a failing Govt.
And it is not just failing on pay.
It is failing our NHS, failing our schools.
The UK is a failed state.
Time for change
NEW:
Britain’s grim winter of strikes, falling incomes and a worsening NHS crisis is not some unfortunate series of events
It’s the inevitable result of a decade of Tory austerity that steadily weakened the state’s capacity to respond to shocks

So the Scottish Government have decided to ignore us nurses at their peril and are going to impose their below inflation pay cut
No worries, they just helped a tonne of nurses by propping up our decision to strike financially 👍
We fight on 💪#rcnstrike#NursesStrike
Oh you forgot that we have all the lunches free , playtime & lunch break off and definitely finished by http://3.pm and skipping out the door 😂 ( I work in a school so I know this is all laughable fake ).
And how many hours are spent working in the evening too? And those endless parents’ evenings when you get home at 10:30 only to get back into work for 7:30/8:00 the next day.
No child should be starving at school.
Currently, almost a million are missing out on free school meals. With more families sliding into poverty, we need action now.
I just signed to demand universal free school meals - will you join me?

Once again, we offered talks. Once again Ministers refused to get round the table. Once again nursing staff are left with no choice.
For the protection of our patients & profession, our next strike will take place on 18 & 19 January 2023.

Teachers work evenings & weekends & all through school holidays, preparing courses, preparing lessons & supporting students
About 3 hours work for each hour teaching
& yes they have seen their wages reduced every year of this 22 year #tory shit storm pretending to be a government

Worked every Saturday this term and less for half-term had five full days off. It’s a cliché, but if it’s that good, how come there’s a retention and recruitment crisis. Surely people should be falling over themselves to be teachers.

Cos I watched my mum re-start work at like 7pm until 11pm, falling asleep over marking/planning on the sofa, almost every weeknight for years, and not one of the dozens of people who suggested it as a career could ever justify that.
Kelvin - no weekend work? Have you met a teacher? A teachers Mum? A teachers child?
Ask them - you will find you why teachers want a change. And deserve a rise.

This is a difficult watch. We spoke to parents and teachers who see first-hand the impact of children going hungry.
But we can change this. Together with @DailyMirror@NoChildBehindUK we're calling for #FreeSchoolMeals for all primary school kids:

We need an Education Secretary that actually wants to have enough teachers for our schools and then acts to get them.
Not one that sticks to Govt lines and covers up problems.
To do that is to let down our children.
Why should they have teacher shortages, turnover etc?
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan tells me on @Channel4News she was including pensions in her calculations when she claimed teachers’ pay put them in the top 10% of earners. #strikes#schools
