A lot of people have asked me my views of the leadership contest. Truthfully, I have been incredibly hurt so far. Hurt originating with the statements @_KateForbes has made and since stood by. I, like most people in Scotland, could not care less about someone’s religion. (1/10)
Rishi Sunak has a very annoying habit of portraying any spending in Scotland and Wales as a "gift" from Westminster. It's as if he doesn't understand we pay taxes. #PMQs
In the coming days the Tories and the right-wing media will unleash their attacks on striking nurses.
Nurses didn't create record NHS waiting lists.
Nurses didn't create the NHS staffing crisis.
Nurses didn't underfund our NHS.
My 100% solidarity with nurses forced to strike.
Tomorrow 100,000 nurses go on strike. Their real pay has fallen by £1,800 this year, declining by £5,000 since 2010. 14% are using foodbanks while 1 in 3 have difficulty covering the cost of food and heating their homes. But this strike is about more than just paltry pay.🧵
Sincere thread for people who aren’t sure about why nurses are striking:
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/
