Why is it that now I have so much more free time at home during this quarantine, yet I’m still managing to do even less than I was before when I was busy. Asking for a friend 🆘
8% fall in nursing pay since 2010
40,000 nursing vacancies
56% health surcharge hike for foreign nurses this year
If the Tories really meant the nice things they’re saying about #NHS nurses, they’d be reversing the policies that led to this situation. https://t.co/vBTT1h7zny
@JennyAThatcher The biggest fraud is contained in the repeated statements: "we are all in this together"; "we will beat this together". Same phrase used for austerity after the 2008 financial crash: utter rubbish. Justice for Janitors (Canada) have a COVID-19 campaign: https://t.co/8AAWqV7LTW
Surely the right thing to do. But not to be considered as a charity thing to offer; when students leave because of risk to their life then legally speaking, I believe the contract itself doesnt hold?
@LSEImpactBlog Would this include an increase in the budget of academics along the lines of IPSA increasing the budget of MPs by £10,000? The reason: MPs were not set up to work from home. Neither were academics setup to teach full-time from home.

False Claim: British MPs award themselves extra £10,000 in expenses https://t.co/07HzuFjNei
OK, So because they were awarded the extra £10,000 by IPSA does not make it right as others working from home were not set up to do so either.
"MPs have been offered an extra £10,000 each to support them while they work from home during the coronavirus pandemic" https://t.co/VPJjhZSvXR.
What about us, mere mortal academics? We have burnt ourselves out delivering education from home. @thetimes [1/3]
@DavidLammy I delivered all my postgraduate teaching online from 16 March. Never thought I would be anywhere close to being considered a key worker but glad that my students, despite having to get used to new technologies, managed to get the education that they signed up for @UrbanSP_KumarS
"The extra budget can be used to buy equipment such as laptops and printers for MPs and their staff, or to cover additional electricity, heating and phone bills." https://t.co/VPJjhZSvXR.
@johnpilger How can one hold this government to account, John? Many policies, such as support for the gig economy due to immense public pressure. But the #coronavirusbilluk has included elements, such as the devastating impact on carers for the disabled https://t.co/MK1cP0wqbt
In 2016, a pandemic drill was carried out in Britain with shocking results. Devastated by cuts, the NHS was overwhelmed. The govt was warned, but did nothing and the Dept of Health suppressed the conclusions. What has happened in 2020 is a state crime.

Prenez soin de vous !!
@WIEGOGLOBAL@urban_sk I agree but the question is why would governments listen and hear these voices now when they have not been interested in doing so in the past. How do we make them hear these voices?
