Of all the viewers around the world Mr Putin is loving the catastrophic surcumstanses the UK finds itself neck deep in
No doubt all those on strike have been going home ringing 999 putting the pressure on
The government (Tories and Labour) need to commit to properly managing the NHS. Tories would prefer people to go private… An insidious way of undermining the NHS.
This is a sham government led by a PM with no mandate. Call an election. The country needs a reset.
Blah, blah, blah blah blah 🙄
remember when we were forced to stay at home under house arrest for our own health? Seems like 1,000 years ago doesn't it. This strike could have been prevented, same as the nurses strike. Just proves that the government never cared about the coof. They only cared about their mass social experiment in "what can we get away with". Putting army and volunteers to deal with life and death situations simply isn't good enough. Not after the tories stripped away all our civic freedoms under the guise of healthcare safeguarding.
Solidarity with the paramedics and all striking workers across the UK. #EnoughIsEnough of the hardworking people who keep this country running being exploited by the corrupt far-right extremists in this government and the rich leeches who bribe them!
About time we all went on strike to get rid of this corrupt Tory government.
I say if they earn more than a certain amount i.e 30k plus and striking then they should be given their P45, they know people are going to die because of what they're doing and for what…greed!
Wow, was that a Sky News journalist actually asking a Tory some tough questions for once? It's about time!
Brexit is a disaster.We must pretend Brexit is a success in order to control immigration.The EU needs restructuring on immigration.
PM keeps hiding away from talks, why not he steps down and hides forever
Why is there no such thing as a private A&E? There must be one. In fact I don’t believe Her Royal Highness the Princess of so and so will ever be waiting at an A&E for her treatment 😂
Its so sad to see a government that wont even negotiate and hide behide apparantly an independant pay body thats never independant and chosen by the government. The UK has really been crippled by the Torys for over 12 years unfortunately the damage they have caused maybe with us for generations.
Thousands of ambulance workers on strike and thousands of nurses on strike. I suspect many of them voted Tory last time thinking that the government actually cared. The reality is the government doesn't care. They have stated they won't even discuss pay.
They state the nurses and ambulances are putting lives at risk. After years of tory austerity measures, cutbacks in services and underfunding, this is now the result. It is this government putting lives at risk.
We have an unelected billionaire prime minister, we have a chancellor who wants to privatise healthcare and tory ministers stonewalling negotiations and blaming the unions. Sunak's answer to the strikers? Don't talk, just change the rules to make striking illegal. What a crap government we now have.
Big deal. I worked in ambulance for 38 yrs. Most of the pts I attended could have taken an uber to hospital
Tories say they can't afford a payrise for the nurses yet their still enjoying the 40%payrise they gave themselves not so long ago and fiddling expenses claims and of course the second homes bought and renovated at the taxpayers expense. They have already decided on their next payrise and a huge increase in their expenses allowance to help them cope with the rising cost of living. As always one rule for them and another one for us .
Only got this filthy Tory government to blame
Bit of background. When Blair took office in 97, the UK population 58 million.
He opened the borders to immigration.
Population is now 68 million.
Blair had no idea where they would all live or where they would get healthcare.
The NHS can only survive with below inflation rises. There are just too many of them.
There is no sustainable solution to this problem.
Sorry. That's just how it is.
Clapping was the most patronising gesture to professional people and if the workforce wasn’t 90% women then it would be a different story !
Barclay is a disgrace….
Totally support them .. can they also make Sure they don't take people home… medically unfit.x
I'm a 100% behind these people – because when I need them, I want them 100% with ME.
STOP pumping money into Ukraine and pay our NHS, we need them more than they need us. our government is FUC*ED up.
Who is this journalist? He doesn't seem to be afraid to call out our wonderful Tories!!! Sky News, improving!?!
Back to the good old days before the EU. Britain fighting internally and begging the US not to casue any major economicl turmoil as she already is in trouble 🙂
Essential workers should not be allowed to strike, imagine if the army went on strike, completely unreasonable, not one of the picket line people look run down they seem very happy singing dancing I thought they are really run down it's a load of bull
Pay the 19% Link the increase to inflation so when inflation goes down so does the extra 10% in there pay job done, everyones happy.
It shows how WOKE the Scottish government is
What's the point in having 40 "new" hospitals, as Boris was bragging about, if there are no nurses willing to work in them??
If they can pay business £50,000 why not pay Health and social care those billions government is talking about don't go to workers is for running business pay them properly why should they work more for less is not immigrants jobs mostly now is for British people no more immigrants jobs get it right higher cost of living
Here to show my support for the strikers
More then anyone the paramedics deserve a big pay rise, but I was just wondering if they are signing in at the beginning of the shift they not really on strike are they.
Support strikes 100%
