The Chairman of the Tory Party is very clear: people on income support or low wages; nurses, teachers, traffic wardens, rubbish collectors, cleaners, cashiers should not be able to afford to heat their homes. This is what they are.

Liz Truss has literally chosen to prioritise tax cuts for the ultra rich over ensuring disabled people do not starve and freeze this winter.
It’s obscene. – at Wheatley, England

Important and timely piece from Keep Our NHS Public member, @JatinderHayre_
We already have 132,000 NHS vacancies; recognizing the worth and the efforts of staff is absolutely essential to the future of the NHS #NHSPayRise independent.co.uk/voices/jun…

I’m going to the #EnoughIsEnough protest tomorrow.
A patient today - an NHS worker - was forced to pull together savings to seek private healthcare because he’d been waiting too long in pain. It felt humiliating. My colleagues are leaving, this work is unsustainable and draining

How about filling in the massive shortage in NHS staffing by reducing staff burnout and attrition, increasing pay, bursaries/ scholarships for training, scrapping the skilled worker minim salary for migrants, stop targeted attack on primary care, etc etc

Next week the #NHS Health and Care Bill is back in Parliament
The government spin machine has very smart messaging to lessen public outrage and pass the bill through by stealth
The proposed measures should be DEEPLY concerning for everyone who needs or might need healthcare
Great to see so many fantastic supporters of this much-needed new campaign!
We urgently need cross-party action to save our precious NHS from privatisation!

I’m going on the @GuiltFemPod (😱!!) to speak about the Health and Care Bill that’s - pretty quietly - making it’s way through parliament and set to upturn the NHS
You can watch the recording live (!) on Monday, or listen after
Plus, there’s funny people on it!

I want to see simple, low key measures like mandatory masks, home working and social distancing brought back ASAP to (a) protect society’s vulnerable members from Covid & (b) help the NHS carry on caring for all our non-Covid patients.
Please RT if you do too.

Happy International Nurses Day to our tireless, badass, thoughtful, smart nurses.
Especially remembering those who have given their lives on the frontline.
The NHS is nothing without you. You deserve so much more than this government 💙

Under a coherent, comprehensive public health strategy, everybody will have access to the covid-19 vaccine. For individuals and our communities, let's remove the barriers to doing so 👉

Dear @uksciencechief,
We're calling for a vaccine rollout that works for *everyone*, regardless of immigration status. This means:
⛔️Ending NHS data-sharing with the Home Office
⛔️Ending the NHS charging regime

Working as a multi-disciplinary team is central to modern healthcare
But our organising is still segregated based on profession: unions for doctors, nurses & outsourced staff working in silo
We're of the same ecosystem, and stronger together. When/ how are we going to team up?
