It’s time for Labour to remember its roots and reinstate the right to peaceful protest.

Dr Rachel Clarke, "We're showing something that is almost unimaginable, unless you experienced it. That gulf between inside and outside the hospitals is so vast"
"Here it is, this is what it felt like, this is us bearing witness to our unfolding reality. Please watch it, please don't look away"
"As an individual if you go through a traumatic experience there is a temptation to suppress it, bury it.. To some extent, I feel the whole country collectively has been through a trauma, which we want to forget but how do we do that without sharing with one another"
"All of us, we all lost something during covid. It was traumatic for all of us. If we don't talk about it. How do we actually process it?"
Sarah-Jane Mee, "At the time the public was told the NHS was not being overwhelmed, it could cope. That was from the Prime Minister at the time Boris Johnson. And that there was no shortage of PPE, that was from the Health Secretary Matt Hancock. What we're being shown here in this series, is the reverse"
Dr Rachel Clarke, "Yes. We knew from our frontline experience that Hancock's claims on PPE were not true.. We didn't have PPE.. There were colleagues dying in intensive care from covid caught in hospital because they didn't have PPE"
Sarah-Jane Mee, "There's a scene or nurses in a store room making PPE from bin bangs"
Dr Rachel Clarke, "Yes, that literally happened.. This is public service TV. The public has a right to know what was happening. It's just not acceptable that the public were not getting the truth from the government"
Every member of govt (both during the pandemic and since) need to sit down and watch #BREATHTAKING based on the real experience of front-line staff, sold short by a govt out to make a quick buck.
The same staff who have since been ignored by this govt and slandered by the media.
Doctors, we pulled out all the stops to avert this round of strikes.
We asked the health secretary to extend our strike mandate for four weeks so we could keep talking in good faith. But she declined, leaving us no choice but to announce a 5-day full walkout from 24-28 Feb.
3 years ago today, feels like a lifetime ago.
The vaccine rollout was a success due to the hard work of NHS staff on their off/rest days along with THOUSANDS of volunteers.
Don’t ever allow the Tories to claim credit for this, which they repeatedly attempt to do.
Cruel and outrageous. We desperately need more care worker colleagues to join us, and the idea that they can come and look after our loved ones only if they are willing to leave their own is repulsive.
It's very hard being a Mental Health Nurse.

On Tuesday, the government announced it had given a massive contract to he US spy-tech firm, Palantir, to handle the new NHS Federated Data Platform.

Jeez. The Prime Minister & Chancellor really do think we are all thick!
Millions living in poverty, destitution & using foodbanks, kids going hungry, the highest taxation in 70 years, a crap economic forecast & they actually want us to get the bunting out & throw a party!
Our NHS is not and never will be for sale
If you agree that politicians should stop allowing the privatisation of our NHS, please reply with a 💙
We must keep up the fight for #OurNHS
Carers are so vitallyimportant, but often go unrecognised for the amazing job they are doing. Many do not even see themselves as carers, and so are not aware of their rights.
Make sure you get the support you need and deserve 💙💙💙
