The Tories are prepared to pay private doctors £3k a shift to cover strikes. The cost of strikes estimated to be over £1bn.
More than enough money to reverse the 13 years of wage losses suffered by doctors.
Be in no doubt the Tories are using low wages to destroy the NHS.
@RishiSunak You're happy enough to impose heavy-handed and unnecessary curtailments to our rights and civil liberties, our standards of living, our international standing, our essential services, education, health, etc etc.
“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay.
Nor an offence for which they should be penalised.
But a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.”
Did you know?
A new £100 million private hospital will be opening next year on the grounds of an NHS trust.
The new hospital will belong to a US-owned private healthcare company, HCA UK.
RT if you think everyone should be aware.
A record 170,000 staff left the NHS last year
It doesn’t matter how many NHS staff the government say they will recruit
Without better working conditions they will continue to leave in their droves and there will never be enough
Please RT if you agree

There are now more than 110,000 vacancies across the NHS and no prospect of filling them
The result?
* 71% of NHS staff say they don’t have enough time for patients
* 75% say quality of care has declined
We need a general election - RT if you agree

This strike is a cry for help for radiography professionals, patients and the NHS. Learn more here: https://t.co/6eOIRyPl4Q
We would rather not strike and interrupt your care but the Government are not listening.
You deserve better.
@charlottekyoung@sturdyAlex Classic divide and conquer strategy from the Tory/media axis. They're sowing division because that stops effective opposition.
