Solidarity to you.
All NHS workers deserve a pay rise. Our pay has dropped so much in value, and it needs to be made up.

In addition, it's a disgrace that doctors are facing unemployment with such high waiting lists for patients to get treatment.

Doctors should not have to strike to be heard.

It's not too late for Wes Streeting to return to the negotiating table and avoid this industrial action.

We remain committed to negotiating a solution on jobs and pay for resident doctors in England.

This 3bn pounds will not benefit anyone in the NHS at all.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS - No to Palantir

๐ŸšจNHS England is rolling out Palantir software to run our health records - handing huge power to a US spy-tech firm thatโ€™s backed mass deportations and enabled genocide in Gaza.

Donald Trump is beating the drums of war against oil-rich Venezuela โ€” unilaterally closing its airspace, deploying warships and warning of ground operations.

Iโ€™m standing with MPs, trade unionists and activists to say: No war on Venezuela.

A really important joint statement by health unions, I am proud that my union, UNISON is one of the signatories.

Anti immigrant rhetoric is so destructive. We are so grateful to all our colleagues from abroad.

Labour is no longer the party of trade unions or the NHS. It's time for unions to stop funding them and for voters to vote Green, to actually support a properly funded and staffed NHS.

NHS staff still earn less than we did in 2010.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Andrea briefly, and although I'm not a member of UNISON and cannot vote for her, I was immediately impressed with all the points on her programme (e.g. her explicit support for trans union members prominently displayed in her flyers) andrea4gs.org.uk

The BMA and other trade unions stand together against anti-migrant rhetoric

The announcement of new asylum measures by the Home Secretary risks fuelling anti-migrant rhetoric.

We reiterate our solidarity with our colleagues, many of whom are being subjected to increasingly hostile treatment as a direct result.

At its core, this doctorโ€™s strike is a fight to ensure patients have access to an NHS doctor right now and well into the future. Thank you to @jordanrivera.bsky.social and the Homerton Unison team for their support yesterday. It was great to be home.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Support rally for striking resident doctors yesterday at Homerton.

Well done to all who attended to show their support, it was really great to see everyone.

Doctors need our support, like other NHS staff, the value of their pay has plummeted over the last decade.

This is Nathan Gill.

Nathan Gill was the Leader of Reform UK in Wales.

Nathan Gill is a long-term friend and ally of Nigel Farage.

Nathan Gill was arrested and convicted of being a Russian Asset - accepting Bribes in exchange for political influence.

Repost and make him famous.

I love this story of the impact an occupational therapist made!

Many don't know what OT is, and we frequently get confused with occupational health (super annoying), but we have a unique role in healthcare. Great to be valued.

My occupational therapist gave me hope when I had none. That's why I became one She saw me as a person rather than a mental health inpatient. Now I work to help other people in the same situation I was in

Sharing this again on #WorldOccupationalTherapyDay. Being labeled "difficult to engage" exacerbated feelings of hopelessness until an OT treated the patient as a person, not an illness, and gave hope to recover from mental illness. #OT #SMI

I will be voting for Andrea Egan for UNISON general secretary.

The election starts soon, look out for your ballot papers.

Our chance to elect the first ever GS coming from lay leadership, rather than someone working for UNISON.

She will only take a social worker's wage.

I want to make it clear that UNISON is made of 1.4 million members, who have passed motions which directly oppose Phillipson's politics

The decision on who to support was made by the Labour link Exec - a very small group of people.

This does not represent the views of UNISON's members at large

Andrea Egan for General Secretary Social worker. Straight-talking working class trade unionist. Campaigning to be the next General Secretary of UNISON.

Iโ€™m so honoured to have the backing of a fantastic breadth of members across the whole union, with 210 nominations.

You, ordinary members in our branches, are the lifeblood of UNISON.

Together, we really can change UNISON.

Labour Link members were not consulted when making this decision - a decision to endorse a transphobe, a zionist and someone who has overseen the erosion of our universties in the UK.

There is a reason why I'm supporting @andrea4gs.bsky.social in this unison election for general secretary.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned for the recognition of Palestine โ€” an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Next, the UK should recognise the genocide in Gaza, end its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stop arming Israel.
