The Government are blocking a deal between the RMT and the train companies, leaving thousands of workers striking without pay in the next few weeks The reason? They want to make an example of workers willing to fight back and demand their worth RT if you're behind RMT 👊

An Ask: If you support #NHS NURSES striking for a fair wage please tweet this picture from your account Flood twitter with the image RT to spread like wild🔥 #FairPayforNursing

The NHS is completely BROKEN It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse) It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population

Through to the QF of the county cup after beating @ThorneCollFC 7-6 on penalties. 2-2 at FT after we went ahead early thanks to Robinson but pegged back by HT. We conceded early in 2nd half but grew into it and Bryan deservedly equalised. Griffiths the hero saving the last pen!

1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists. But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY. I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

1/ Short 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC / Sky today, its not clear whether they dont understand the differences, or they are trying to mislead Please read all & share / RT

Batteries are currently going through a massive domino effect of adoption certain to phaseout 50% of global fossil fuel demand by 2040 at the latest. Because: economics We are witnessing, live, the end of the age of oil (that's why Big Oil hijacked the UN climate talks) THREAD

1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: So we need to talk about NHS pay. NEW shocking [post DDRB] data just in 4/1/24 👇 (SPOILER: Not "fair & reasonable") We need to fix pay/retention to fix waiting lists- increasingly clear next GE will won/lost on NHS Please read whole 🧵 & share widely/RT

1/3 Excellent article Emmajourno on lack of progress in pay erosion despite DDRB 23/24 👇 "A series of graphs updated by Dr Tony Goldstone shows @BMA_JuniorDocs have fared the worst of any sector with BMA Consultants not far behind. Pls share/RT thelimbic.com/uk/pay-uplift-…
