The UK govt has announced a 3.6% pay award for nursing staff on Agenda for Change in England - an increase that will be swallowed up by inflation.

Our consultation will open soon for you to tell us what you think.

Only you and your colleagues can decide if it's enough to value nursing.

Powerful hearing international nurses and nursing support workers responding to Kier Statmer at RCN Congress.

His words hurt. His anti-migrant rhetoric has been labeled a 'betrayal'.

We called, they came. Thank you to all our international colleagues.

My water bill with Southern Water has gone up 47%. I literally have no idea how people will be able to pay such a large increase.
From today, water bills increase by 26%.

This isn’t an April Fool’s joke but water companies are laughing all the way to the bank, having racked up £60bn in debt and paid £72bn in dividends since privatisation.

We must take water back into public ownership and end this rip-off.

Curious to see if the Maga voters will be at least just as upset at Trump’s cabinet for sending classified war plans to a journalist as they were at Hilary for using a personal computer 🤔 I suspect #hypocrisy #resist

I suspect younger people who don’t remember pre-ACA can’t fathom how bad it was because the thought of it being even worse than it is now is hard to imagine.

What they don’t understand is how hard of a fight it was just to get what we ended up with.
Health care is still bad but before the ACA it was so bad that people who don’t remember it don’t really comprehend it
I cannot listen to people who were born after the millennium talk shit about the Affordable Care Act I really cannot

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

With so many things, we often can't explicitly see the benefits of things in our day to day but our world works as a network and funding for one thing, often boosts other areas that do directly benefit your day to day needs and joys. Cutting Fed funding now, will cause damage #Resist #Organize

"I think we’re gonna get it. One way or another we’re gonna get it.” Trump talking about Greenland. YOUR (MAGA) isolationist President has been acting as an aggressor. Between this and Canada, it’s YOUR GUY who is going to start WWIII.

What kind of belittling behaviour is this and what type of press cares about suits when war and peace is the topic?
Actual question from reporter: "Why don't you wear a suit?"

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: "I will wear costume after this war will finish."

I skimmed this list a few days ago but I didn't see that the word "female" was included. This will make it even harder to get funding for research into women's health issues. And "barrier"? What if someone wanted to study a drug crossing the blood-brain barrier? This is crazy.
National Science Foundation grants will not be awarded to research that includes terms on this list - No funding for the study of ovarian cancer? Or sickle cell anemia in the Black population? Women & minorities were rarely included in medical research until 93 & now we’re going back? 1/2
