This Boris bloke applauding his nurses - is he the same one that cheered along with all his chums in the Commons in 2017 when the Conservatives successfully blocked any chance of nurses getting a pay rise?

Adrian Edmondson @adrianedmondson · 1h This Boris bloke applauding his nurses - is he the same one that cheered along with all his chums in the Commons in 2017 when the Conservatives successfully blocked any chance of nurses getting a pay rise? I think they were cheering that they won the vote with the help of the DUP in June 2017. It must have been nice to have won a vote, but that vote was a Labour amendment to the approval of Queen's speech, that amendment being to end the pay cap of 1% rises for public sector staff. So it looks extremely bad. They scrapped the 1% pay rise cap for the NHS in March 2018, giving 6.5% over 3 years, which will take us up to 2021. They had a pay cap in place since 2010, starting with 0 for 2010/12. March 2018: news.sky.com/story/unions-to-recommend-65-nhs-pay-rise-11298838The rise does not make up for the estimated 14% real-terms cut nurses, porters and other staff have endured in the last seven years. Its not surprising so many people have left the NHS due to poor wages, and its not surprising that so many EU staff have left/fewer new recruits as well. Added to this the poor treatment they have received on the PPE given. Its all very well for Hancock to say they have distributed x million items, but the chair of the British Medical Association said yesterday that 50% (iirc) of front line staff didnt have the correct PPE for the job. And now they are covering up the number of NHS staff dying, on the flimsy reason that the deceased relatives haven't given their consent. |
