THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No wonder jnr doctors & nurses don’t feel valued. Not everyone is “feeling poor”equally Bank of England . What gvmnt has done to their pay 👇 is an absolute disgrace RT if u think Steve Barclay Sir Jeremy Hunt MP Rishi Sunak should #PayRestoration & save our NHS

PAY RISE ACCEPTED 10% inflation this year if it costs £100 it goes up to £110 Pay was £100 £5 bonus + 5% pay rise = £110 😊 BUT THERE’S A PROBLEM NEXT YEAR Inflation now 7% so costs goes up to £117.70 Pay is now £105🤔 But 5% pay rise again = £110.25😳 SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

One by one the London trusts are announcing they will pay the BMA rates next week. You have witnessed the power of collective action. *You* are hugely powerful. Now exercise that power #VoteNowVoteYes and win. Please retweet.

PM Mitsotakis reaction: “I express my displeasure that the British Prime Minister cancelled our planned meeting just hours before it was due to take place. Anyone who believes in the rightness and fairness of his positions is never afraid of confrontation.”

I understand that the top priority for ordinary people is not their soaring bills, the NHS crisis, record debt, the highest tax burden since the War or rivers full of shit - no, it’s making sure we don’t hand over anything that we stole 200 years ago.

Important: If you think you are voting REJECT on pay deal - post your strike ballot TODAY with a YES or negs end If you think you are voting ACCEPT on pay deal, post your ballot TODAY with a YES (or negs end if others reject it) SUMMARY: post your ballot TODAY, tell others RT

This is a disaster! This deal: ▪️Ignores the longest-serving consultants (17.8% of total) ▪️Ignores new consultants ▪️Formalises our 40% pay losses ▪️Prevents DDRB from looking at historical pay cuts ▪️Lets managers control pay progression ▪️Divides the profession #ChuckItOut

I always find that the best way to respond to people with concerns about the state of the NHS is to laugh in their face and walk away.
