Tory MPs reintroduced NHS car parking fees, in England, for nurses (and NHS staff), from the 1st April.
72 NHS trusts are now charging nurses for parking.
Nurses paying car park fees as high as £1300pa to care for the sick, elderly & vulnerable.
MPs get their parking for free.
Breaking: Nurses in Scotland will NOT strike.
Unions and Scottish govt have reached a deal:
- 7.5% pay rise
- 11.2% for lowest earners
- 37.5 hrs/wk to 36hrs/wk
- pay rise backdated to April 2021
Great news.
Our Health Care Assistants will get an ~inflation meeting pay rise!
Rishi Sunak has claimed that to pay a 10% pay rise to all public sector employees will cost each household in the UK £1,000. This is what I call CRAp - which stands for a ‘completely rubbish approximation’ to the truth. Let me explain…a thread…
Cronyism, corruption, abuse of power, Baroness Mone this week and soon another tainted honours list from Boris Johnson - this has been the most scandal-ridden decade in living memory.
It’s time to replace the House of Lords with an elected second chamber.
12 years of Tory rule has made the UK the most regionally unequal economy in Europe.
To build prosperity and tackle poverty across the whole UK, we need to change not just who governs but how we are governed.
We need genuine political reform.

The latest lie from the No 10 Lie Machine is that the NHS crisis is caused by Covid. It is caused by twelve years of Toryism. They have got to go. The lot of them.
Incredible statistic: the mine will produce an estimated 400,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year, the equivalent of putting 200,000 more cars on Britain’s roads. https://t.co/R3198aUvdD
Sunak says he's "shocked" to read of Baroness Mone pocketing millions - hasn't he paid attention to rest of his party? Hancock's Covid contracts for his own family? Ex Health Minister Lord Bethell in cahoots with lobbyist Tory MP Owen Paterson? So much for Govt "integrity" #PMQs
My wife and I have had to visit *eight* pharmacies in Bristol and in London today before we could get an urgent prescription for kids antibiotics sorted. I now have 50% of what the GP asked for and have been told to come back for the rest. Reason? A shortage of antibiotics.
