I don't want lower taxes.
I want hospital beds.
Trains that run on time.
Kids who aren't too hungry to learn.
Libraries in every town.
Rivers that don't run with slurry.
Local councils not forced into bankruptcy.
Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.
Today the UK government has announced a new offer on NHS pay and non-pay elements for Agenda for Change staff in England.
Our members will vote on whether to accept the offer in a consultation launching next week.
Read more below.

This is sad. Multi million pound companies like @ITV, and global singers like @ollymurs, @iamwill, @RealSirTomJones and @AnneMarie and no one can pay a few quid and support a local business.
When banks take exposure as mortgage payments then maybe more people will do this. #payup
Paul McCartney opening with this is the best Pyramid headliner moment I’ve ever witnessed.
I can still hear it, feel it, feel the temperature and hear the crowd when I want to. Crazy sitting here on a cold Weds night to think I was in front of it.

As we begin another day of strike action my thoughts are with all our nursing staff. The College will continue to fight for you and your patients. I will see many of you on pickets lines today.
Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

‘We strike for the future of the NHS.’
The largest strike in RCN history starts today, as nursing staff in England, Northern Ireland and Wales demand fair pay and patient safety.
