We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together

Today is day 1 of International Nurse's Week!


It's like any other week, except sometimes there are cupcakes.  

Tomorrow you can celebrate by voting TUSC! 

All of us in the NHS have endured a real terms pay cut of around 15% since 2010. Labour have refused to reverse this.  

You can't put a worth on the work of a nurse, apparently.  

Stop Being So Greedy, Will. 

Over the last 5 years, have we worked any less hard? Are we doing 15% less than we were in 2010? Of course not, so why has the value of our pay decreased? 

At the end of the last Labour Government, the banks collapsed. They bailed them out to the tune of £850bn and this government has spent the last 5 years making us pay for it. 

The failure of our unions to fight the pay freeze is because they are stuck in a loveless marriage with the Labour Party. 

All the major parties are committed to a market in healthcare. 

All refuse to reverse the pay cuts.

None are prepared to acknowledge that the £20 billion "efficiency savings" they all signed up to, is really cuts by any other name. 




If this election campaign has taught me anything, beyond "Stop Going to the Co-op in Your Pyjama's, Voters Will See You." its that nurses, physios, teachers, fire-fighters, bus drivers, all working class people need a political voice of our own. 




TUSC is the only 100% anti-austerity choice at the ballot box. Get behind us tomorrow. The fightback starts here.  

Share at Will.
