#nhsstrikes — Public Fediverse posts

UK has the 2nd lowest number of Doctors per 1000 in Europe
Tory underfunding, underpaying & undermining has all but collapsed the service & resulted in many Doctors & Nurses leaving the NHS
Tories already have US private health giants embedded in Govt and NHS depts. as they try to push more of us into private health care
We must stop them
We don't need billionaires
We don't need corrupt, lying, profiteering Tories
We NEED Doctors
We NEED Nurses
Support our NHS
Support the strikes

The #BBC still cupping the Government's balls gently as they spin the #NHSStrikes in favour of the current regime....

"The lack of investment in wages by the government has made it harder to recruit and retain junior doctors," the BMA has said. - Sky News #NhsStrikes

Michael Rosen posted this on Twitter today, dedicating it to the junior doctors. A junior doctor (such a misnomer) is only paid around £200 more than they were 30 years ago, and could earn more working in Pret. Full solidarity with the strikers ✊️💙

@CriticalCupcake @KarenawokeKaren Some of the unions are asking us to accept the offer!
No, no, no. no, no. Reject.

Let me get this clear, the nurses have been offered a real terms 4.2% pay cut and the Tory government are calling it a pay rise?

So #RishiSunakPM, with #juniordoctors now voting to join the #NHSstrikes, how that game of hardball going for you?

So #SupportTheStrikes however inconvenient it is for you

#SupportOurNurses, because clapping (in the end) was a distraction...

The NHS is not safe in #Tory hands... and this is what the strikes are really about!

Casting around for distractions from what is going on, on the ground, #RishiSunakPM tells us he will do 'whatever it takes' to deal with balloon incursions into our airspace... its a pity his fortitude doesn't stretch to the #NHSstrikes... but the #Tories are past masters at the politics of distraction, so we shouldn't be surprised Rishi has grabbed the balloon with both hands

Drowning in #Schadenfreude here.

As well as out own diaries, in February 2023 in the UK we also have to check the"strike calendar" to see which public sector workers are on strike today.

Sort it out, @RishiSunak and @SteveBarclay

Surely you've got the message by now

Best go back to bed and not move, lest something untoward happen that requires emergency medical assistance. You know it makes sense.

Solidarity with the #ambulance workers and #nurses on strike today!

Over the weekend the #Nurses leader(s) and the Govt. traded blows over whether (in light of tis weeks #NHSstrikes) the Govt. was currently 'at the table' discussing the underlying pay issues...

The Nurses said there were no talks going on, the Govt. claimed there were.... making this an issue of who do you trust to be telling the truth, which to be frank in light of the #Tories frequent mendacity makes it an easy choice this morning!

Has anybody seen #rishisunak? Could he be hiding under his desk? I know the #tory MPs are used to this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64529438 #nhs #nhsstrikes #economy #nhscrisis #gtto #tories #ToriesOut

Public support for strikes is INCREASING as the unions' action continues.

The Tory plan to stretch this out until the public turn on the nurses is blowing up in their faces.

Its ever clearer that the UK's problem with long-term sickness is getting worse & is having a major negative impact on the available #workforce (of course it also has significant impact on social & personal #wellbeing)...

as so often, thinking of the #NHScrisis in isolation (as this Govt. does), fails to see that without a healthy population the chance of economic 'revival' is undermined!

The #NHSstrikes are about this issue as much as they are about pay & conditions!

Three health unions striking on the same day next month means de facto co-ordinated industrial action resulting the biggest NHS strike ever. Let this be just the start across all industries and services. #DamoRants #NHSStrikes https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYRYNPD7/

During the pandemic nurses were forced to wear bin bags.

Posts in support of our over-stretched but hard working #NHS often have tags like these:

#NHSIsBroken #NHSCrisis #NHSStrikes #NursesStrike

Let’s instead use ones that linger in the mind with a nudge toward action and support and cannot be interpreted as supporting structural change (i.e. privatisation)?

Try some of these in your next post:

#FundTheNHS #SupportOurNurses #SupportTheStrikes #FairPayForTheNHS #LessClappingMorePay

and let’s control the narrative.

Health Sec 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘆 sinks to new levels of #vitriol with his appalling lies '#NHS staff choosing 2 ‘inflict harm’ on patients'. These #mendacious & callous Tories unfit for office. https://bit.ly/3BSAyVZ #NHSStrikes #ToryCorruption #ToryCostOfGreedCrisis
