Remember how we tried to point out that Austerity was a really stupid idea that would ruin public services in this country and make the rich richer?
And remember how the police violently attacked us for it?
This is small consolation for the damage done

#OnThisDay 20 years ago the biggest ever demonstration took place in British history – when more than 1 million people marched against the looming War on Iraq
On a freezing winter day people flocked from all over the country for the Stop the War march on 15 February 2003 ... 🧵
Always remember you have far more in common with striking nurses, railway workers, and postal workers than with the political and media classes telling you those people are your enemy.
I’m an NHS doctor
I support NHS #NursesStrike
They have one of the most trusted roles in society and yet are paid a pittance
This government should be ashamed that whilst they sip on their subsidised beers, nurses need to use food banks

Love, respect and solidarity to the nurses on strike.
The Conservatives are trashing our NHS so they can sell it off on the cheap to their mates in the City.
Nurses are fighting to save our NHS. Fight with them.
"Everybody is at the end of their tether... because this health service is being crushed so that they can get it ready for privatisation"
Mick Lynch from the @RMTunion is spot on. The Tories have been deliberately underfunding, understaffing & under resourcing the NHS for years.
I'm an NHS nurse and today for the first time in my career I'm on strike
I'm striking for fair pay.
I'm striking to protect my patients.
I'm striking to save the NHS.
Please fight with us for our NHS. #FairPayforNursing#NursesStrike
Today, over 100,000 Nursing Staff will be on picket lines fighting for our profession, our safety, to protect our patients, and to fight for the future of our NHS!
Our fight is your fight.
If you stand with us - Please RT 💙
Today our strike action begins, and nursing staff need your solidarity.
Share this if you stand with those fighting for a safer future for nursing, patients, and the NHS.

I’m really sick of the media referring to ‘the unions’ as if they are a separate entity to the millions of working people that they represent. ‘The unions’ are not orchestrating strikes, workers are standing up and fighting to save the services they provide.
