It is troubling the ease with which our society can accept the met police shooting dead an unarmed 24-year-old black man, almost as if nothing at all happened.
So PhD students remain £775 a year short of national minimum wage and £1,200 short of a living wage. Increasingly difficult to see how they can afford accommodation, food and fuel, especially in the light of the cost-of-living crisis.
The minimum UKRI PhD stipend is £16,062 for 2022/23.
Although PhDs are training and do not legally require minimum wage, a comparison is worthwhile:
National minimum wage (age 21-23) is £19,094 (40h/week).
After tax that's £16,836.
Living wage is £19,760 (£17,280 after tax).
Please RT. PhD students funded by @UKRI_News face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)
Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice https://t.co/8FdGtvwI2L
