My Sister became a Nurse at age 16 (a Cadet Nurse as they were called then). That was in 1967. She’s 71 now, and still working as an NHS nurse. People like her, with their dedication to duty & caring for others is priceless but nursing salaries have dropped to a level 20.54% below the value they were when the Tories came to power in 2010.
We call it disaster capitalism. Admittedly it’s impressive that they create the disaster. Political evolution.

Tories are excellent at allowing things to break down to a crisis, in order to justify bringing in their awful policies. NHS to be sold off, strikes therefore new legislation preventing strikes, climate crisis to new coal mine, oh, and the fantastic #PPEscandal

THE GREAT PPE SCAM: A THREAD ⭐

It's taken two years for it to come to light, with Michelle Mone's involvement coming under scrutiny. 😲
But there is still a missing link...can we find it? 🤔
Here are my thoughts... ⬇️

Well said RCN’s @patcullen9 -
- one proposed day of action by nurses didn’t create the 7.2 MILLION people on #NHS waiting lists
- UK nurses are the lowest paid in Europe
- nurses arent greedy. They just want to make ends meet.

Had a really difficult night working in Paeds A&E. Massive waiting times but we worked as a great NHS team and got through it. I was actually feeling pretty good. Then I saw what @wesstreeting said in the Telegraph. Thanks. Didn't think our morale could sink any lower.

Here's your weekly reminder that 10 years ago the NHS was the best healthcare system on the planet, ranked number 1 by the @commonwealthfnd. The NHS crisis is due to a decade of Tory underfunding and criminal grade neglect. We don't need a new system, we need a new govt.
#UK folks, there's a petition to keep protection of transgender people in the equality act by not amending it.
It's pretty scary being #trans in this country at the moment, and we could use your help to protect our rights. #Queer folks and #lgbtq friends and allies, please support.

Somehow I think Billionaire Space Karen's may be a bigger problem myself. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1602278477234728960

So the entire place supposedly shutting down so Chuck can wang a crown on his head has nothing to do with vanity? OK

One of the most striking aspects of the Meghan/Harry Netflix docudrama is the degree to which Harry is really just backup to Meghan's starring role. He is Best Supporting Actor in a Meghan Markle movie. The Netflix drama is primarily a vehicle for Meghan's vanity/self-promotion.

For the same reason Wes and 171 other right-wing Labour MPs deliberately sabotaged Jeremy Corbyn: they're Thatcherites "funded" by multi-millionaires who hate unions.
This is what Corbyn was up against.

For those wondering, ′′ how did i do it?":
I Boiled 10l of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke and half cup of lemon juice then stirred well .
Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture.
Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes.
I took it out, rinsed it and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away and went out and bought a new one.
