Nursing is one of the lowest paid graduate jobs in the country. A newly qualified nurse will go in at £27k a year but with significant debt, having worked for free for three years prior to qualifying. 1/
🚨 BREAKING: Nurses across the UK have voted for strike action.
RT if you will stand with every single nurse that takes strike action to lift themselves out of poverty.
Claps won’t pay the bills.

Picked up some great tips to add extra layers of flavour and expand my vegan repertoire. Also got to eat like a king 👌
The Weekly Loaf is out! 🍞🍞🍞
This week we look forward to an exhibition at @artefact_bham of cooperatives in Stirchley (including us!) and are chuffed at the bikes you enabled @migranthelp to buy.
