Still, could be worse.

@JDBakewell Best wishes and a speedy recovery.

👉🏼 Scotland can do better than being ignored at Westminster.

👉🏼 Scotland can do better than a hard Brexit we never voted for.

👉🏼 Scotland can do better than having to put up with more austerity.

[Ian Wright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️🇺🇦 @Ian_Wrigh]

Solidarity with all nurses and healthcare workers taking industrial action.
Remember folks, they are striking for better pay and conditions. They are also taking this action to save OUR NHS. Don't allow the government and the right wing press to divide and conquer on this fight

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TWEET TO PLEASE RT IT.

Tomorrow nurses strike. They will be put through hell by the media, politicians and the establishment.

Ahead of the action please share this tweet if you back the nurses and find it sickening that they are being vilified.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Nurses are under attack. The government have decided they will take them on and break them if needed

They are the same people who kept this nation going through the pandemic

They are the backbone of society

RT if you stand right behind them and will back them whatever it takes

[Ian Wright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️🇺🇦 @Ian_Wrigh]

Why is it that those who "earn" such exorbitant salaries criticise those who are at best just keeping their heads above water?
Speaking metaphorically of course.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

RT if you think it’s taking the piss for a university boss who earns almost half a million pounds a year whilst employing almost 5,000 academic staff on insecure contracts to be saying she would “really love people to stop talking about” her pay.

#ucuRISING

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

RT you will support rail and Royal Mail workers no matter how much pressure the establishment puts on them in the lead up to Christmas.

Disappointed that a haulier from my hometown are crossing the official #cwu_scotland picket line.

[Craig Anderson @cwu_scotland]

We hoped that the trucking community would support @CWUnews Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Regional drivers when on strike this week.

Unfortunately Sneddons of Airdrie continue to drive through our picket lines at @RoyalMail sites.

[Ian Wright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️🇺🇦 @Ian_Wrigh]

Yuill & Dodds drivers crossing picket lines.
For those of us old enough to remember the great strike of 1984/85 some things never change.
#nevercrossapicketline

[Craig Anderson @cwu_scotland]

Scotland remembers Yuill & Dodds lorry’s from the miners strikes!

38 years later Yuill & Dodds lorry’s are driving through @CWUnews picket lines in Scotland as they did in the 1980’s
This is the level @RoyalMail are going to to attack our members

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Since 2010:

📉Nurses’ real pay is down by £4,300

📉Paramedics’ real pay is down by £5,600

📉Teachers' real pay is down by 20%

📈 MPs' pay up by 28%

It's not a question of affordability, it's a question of priorities.

[Ian Wright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️🇺🇦 @Ian_Wrigh]

One year at college and 4yrs at University and latest in a line of disappointments following job interviews makes me think - do I keep going or do I just drift into retirement and enjoy that?

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

RT this if you stand shoulder to shoulder with every nurse, postie, university worker, rail worker and every union member striking and saying Enough is Enough.

History will not look kindly on those who sit on the fence.

It’s us and them now.

Join a picket line.

[Andrew Fisher @FisherAndrew79]

Aneurin Bevan was born #OnThisDay 125 years ago 🌹

A trade unionist and democratic socialist, he became a Cabinet Minister in the 1945 Attlee Government - and founded the National Health Service.

“A free health service is pure socialism”

Average London rent £21,984

Average food bill £4,500

Average utility bill £1,500

Total 27,948

Average nurses pay £27,055

A nurse can’t even afford to live a decent life in the UK

I will support their strike action

RT if you will too

[Ian Wright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️🇺🇦 @Ian_Wrigh]

Have the To##es wheeled out @GavinWilliamson to highlight the fact that there really are MPs who are more unsuited to govern than @SuellaBraverman ? https://t.co/P0MGvr0vCH

[Ian Wright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️🇺🇦 @Ian_Wrigh]

A sad day in the UK when our wonderful, undervalued nurses have to take strike action for the first time in the RCNs history.
✊️solidarity with all those taking industrial action.

[NHS Nurses @SocialistNHS]

Nurses across the UK have voted to take strike action.

If you will support every nurse going out on strike because they've been left with no other choice please reply with a 💙

Let's show nurses that they have the public's support #OurNHS
