Vote No, hereโs my take.
Weโve done this before. September 2024, we accepted a deal on the promise it was the start of a journey to pay restoration. Streeting had agreed that the DDRB would report by the start of the 2025/26 financial year. It didnโt. It came in at 5.4% and he called it enough. We went back on strike because we trusted a headline and not the detail.
Now here we are again. An offer dropped at the last minute, strikes action called off, and the full terms still not published. That is not a coincidence. Releasing headlines without substance, under time pressure, is a tactic. It creates exactly the uncertainty that nudges people toward Yes. Donโt let it.
The 4500 jobs are not new. They appear to be existing LED posts repackaged as NTNs. Thatโs not solving the training bottleneck. Thatโs renaming it.
FPR is not in this offer. There is no timeline. No mechanism. No commitment with substance.
Whatโs even more concerning is a union only publishing headlines, whose interests are being served?
Senior doctors in the NHS in England will begin voting today on whether to take strike action later this year.

I watched Zootopia 2 with my kids yesterday.
While they were cheering for the bunny and the snake, I was mesmerized by the urban planning.
In the movie, the mice have tiny vehicles. The giraffes have massive kiosks. The hippos have water channels.
They donโt build "One Size Fits All." They build "Right-Sized Infrastructure."
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
In my company, we are failing at this. We are committing the sin of Hardware Equity.
We give the same $3,000 MacBook Pro M3 to our Senior AI Engineer (The Elephant) as we do to the Junior Copywriter (The Mouse).
The Engineer uses 100% of the CPU. The Copywriter uses Chrome and Spotify.
Giving a "Mouse" employee an "Elephant" laptop isn't generosity. Itโs Capital Expenditure malpractice.
So this morning, I launched "Operation Zootopia."
I ran a script to audit CPU utilization across the company.
If your average daily CPU usage is under 10%, you are classified as a "Rodent Tier User."
I confiscated 40 MacBooks from the Marketing and HR departments.
I replaced them with refurbished Chromebooks and 2nd Gen iPads.
They were furious. They asked, "How am I supposed to work on this?"
I told them what the movie taught me: "You don't build a highway for a hamster. You build a tube."
We recovered $120,000 in hardware assets in one morning.
Stop giving Ferraris to people who only drive to the grocery store.
Nature doesnโt waste resources. Neither should IT.
ยฃ700m spent at the Hinkley Point nuclear power station on trying to save fish from being sucked into the coolant pipes.
That's ยฃ280,000 per fish saved, and one salmon saved every 12 years.
For that price we could have paid the entire local fishing fleet to stay in bed, built a luxury fish ladder, restocked the Bristol Channel from Norway, hired kayakers to shoo the salmon away, funded a Netflix documentary to make everyone eat chicken instead, and still had change left over to give each fish its own Uber to take it to Cardiff.
The bill should be sent to the ecoists who insisted on this project.
โOh, itโs just football.โ
โHow can we say that ever again?โ

Welcome to day 2.
Today we strike again to show the Government that weโre not backing down until we have a credible offer.
Stick Together. Strike Together. Win Together. #PayRestoration
