Racism and hate won’t lower the bills.

If you’re sick of immigrants being scapegoated to explain away our problems, march with us.

On 28 March, we’ll be marching side-by-side against hate.

People across faiths, together as one. During Ramadan, stand against Islamophobia.

Will you join us?

You cannot ban solidarity.

Standing with workers is not a crime.

Shame on @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social.

Yes, all profit is money that could have gone to patient care.

A poem written by a patient appreciative of the NHS.

Underfunding of the NHS over the last decade = decreased patient satisfaction

The answer?

Direct, proper funding instead of funnelling money into private sector.

In the labour movement we believe that an injury to one is an injury to all.

That’s why solidarity with the Palestinian people is a fundamental duty for trade unionists.

I was proud to address the 100,000 strong national march for Palestine in London today πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

UNISON will be a union that 'puts members first and fights for all public service workers,' says new UNISON general secretary Andrea Egan.

β€˜We can be an incredible force for change,’ says Andrea and urges members to get involved with their branch.

Really pleased to have Caroline at #Megapicket 3-D on 30 January. Like the Brum Bin workers, the striking @unison.org.uk Gloucestershire Phlebotomists have been out a long time. Linking strikes together is key.

It's a great success for the Phlebotomists at Homerton - Gloucester phlebotomists deserve the same.

As health workers across grades, disciplines, and unions, we'd like to extend our congratulations to the phlebotomists at Homerton Hospital in London for their victory on rebanding and backpay this week.  Like many NHS workers, phlebotomists all over the country have spent years performing clinical work above their grade and this new victory in London, after similar victories in Swansea, Hertfordshire, and Merseyside, re-confirms the recognition of phlebotomy as, at least, a Band 3 role.

This outcome makes it all the more appalling that Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust has still not settled what is now the longest running strike in NHS history. The Trust, under the leadership of CEO Kevin McNamara - who left his previous Trust in the wake of allegations of bullying - has refused to recognise their phlebotomists' legitimate claims and instead worked tirelessly the break the strike and undermine the phlebotomists' position.  We re-affirm our unwavering solidarity with the Gloucestershire phlebotomists and call on their Trust to settle.  If it's good enough for Homerton, it's good enough for Gloucester!  Victory to the Gloucestershire plebotomists!

How to tell if your appointment was cancelled due to a Doctors strike
Answer you can’t

On a average day in the NHS hospitals cancel 50,000 appts
Strikes days affect 11,000 appts, apparentlyπŸ€”

Blaming the Drs for a broken system is giving NHS Management/Govt the excuse they want
