A pay rise in line with inflation for ALL public sector workers would cost around an extra £12-15bn. An annual 1.5% tax on any wealth above £5m would raise £16bn. We can afford to give people a proper pay rise. The Tories' refusal to do so is a political choice.

🕺💃The first set of 'BedDances' to get patients moving in hospital ahead of their discharge have taken place. ‘BedDances’ aim to improve patients' mobility and prevent deconditioning in hospital through creative dance-based exercise sessions accompanied by uplifting music.

Simple things will stop the spread of viruses. Wearing a face covering and washing your hands can really help. #HelpUsHelpYou

As numbers of patients needing urgent & emergency care rise, matron @mickyb666 is keen to explain what happens once people come to A&E. Not everyone needs lifesaving treatment, but may be treated more appropriately at an urgent treatment centre. #BlackCountryHealth247 #SWBfamily

@mickyb666 Yesterday I met three men who showed courage, advocacy and respect for the vulnerable elderly despite being in their own difficult and challenging situations truly humbled by these patients in our care #swbh #compassion #caring

‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire’ 🔥 🔥 🔥 Love this quote. I owe a great debt to the wonderful teachers in my life. Education was my route out of poverty & that knowledge forever empowers & emboldens my spirit #education #knowledgeispower

Wednesday marks a significant and emotional event. My Mum goes into care. Albeit for 3 weeks respite. We have recognised that we cannot, as a family, look after her without help. #hardchoice #forthebest #heartbreaking
