Nurses are due to strike in many parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland later this month, with thousands of operations expected to be postponed at a time when waiting lists are already at record levels.

Health unions have offered to pause strikes later this month if the government will enter serious pay talks.

In a piece for The Sun On Sunday, he said:"In a winter when we're worrying about COVID, flu and Strep A - on top of the COVID backlogs - I am deeply concerned about the risks of strike action to patients.

For all you gullible Tory voters, your party have caused these issues, not the workers.

Tough to find solidarity when the NHS is still hiring diversity managers on £76k per year.

Well done to the Nurses for finally sticking up for themselves .

I respect nurses' right to strike. But they should ensure that essential services still go ahead.

Good old Unions getting their sheep to help bring down the government

Solidarity.

Aren’t we all 🤷‍♂️ Fuck it Shall we all go on strike !!

A few weeks ago at Judo a little kid broke here arm, after calling it in as we couldn't move her off the floor because she was in agony we were told ambulance wouldn't come for that. We had to pick the judo mat up she was on and slide her and the mat into the back of a van.

Stand on your doorstep, clap the NHS. While we all struggle to see anyone who works there.

Works both ways SteveBarclay by not entering talks puts public health at risk. Would a managing director ignore an issue in their business that effect workload + productivity NO!, They would go bust. Just sort it out instead of burying your head in the sand and talking rubbish.

RishiSunak lecturing people & threatening new laws to silence P.S Workers, after the £Bs of OUR money he & the vicious Conservatives have written off in fraud, lavished pals with & paid for unsafe/unused PPE is truly infuriating! ToriesOut ToryCorruption ToriesCostLives

Is there actually anyone left out there that believes the unions are doing this for any other reason than a political one. People seem to forget any pay rise is for life and will need funding year in year out and is not a one off. Yes give a fair pay deal but not rediculas ones.

Don't give an inch with this government. Stand firm like the RMT. It's the only way. Give an inch and they'll take a mile

Please correct me if I'm wrong. If nurses get a 18% pay increase, wouldn't that mean every NHS employee would be entitled to the same. Anything else would be discriminatory.

No

Everyone agrees they should be paid more No one wants to pay more tax So what next?

No pause do the job

They finally realise the support is not with them

Our medical staff have the greatest need of financial help of all those on strike but this callous govt. are determined to destroy our NHS without offering an affordable alternative. They are prepared to allow the sick to go untreated or even die with no help at all.

We Iranian American living in USA don’t believe in Biden and democrats because Why US government forbid us to carry our flags,placards in the world wrestling matches in Iowa and shouting against the dictators and murderer of iran.Shame on Biden . Stop voting this traitors

It is in incorrect to use the term 'pay talks' as this is about more than pay. Same as with the Royal Mail this is about employment issues - conditions, hours, contracts and pay. 'Employment talks' is a more exact and honest term.

1% was an insult soo I DO hope 🙏 the next pay talks give a more respectful view / take on what our NHS stands for & gives us ALL in our time in need 🙏❤️🙌
