Speaking ahead of the strike, RCN chief executive Pat Cullen said: "The Prime Minister should ask himself what is motivating nursing staff to stand outside their hospitals for a second day so close to Christmas.
"Rishi Sunak is under growing pressure in Westminster following last Thursday's strike and he should listen to people around him. "Let's get this wrapped up by Christmas. I will negotiate with him at any point to stop nursing staff and patients going into the new year facing such uncertainty. He said he was "incredibly disappointed" by the industrial action bringing key services to a halt, "particularly at Christmas, particularly when it impacts people’s health".
Last-ditch? He hasn't entered first-ditch attempts!
Your headline is so misleading.....barcley has catacorically stated HE WILL NOT TALK about pay! Its to put in place measures when on strike......so stop spreading fake news..you do the British public a disingenuous service with misleading rubbish!
Problem is, accept a poor deal now and the government will never back down. It is a terrible place to be when we have such a hostile government. Dont worry about Barcley and Sunak though, they will be OK and continue to wreck the NHS. Still a few bits they cab flog off.
💙💙💙 - Barclay’s finally woken up and realised that Nurses are serious and have a genuine issue. Nurses should receive what MPs get, because at this moment in time their utterly useless. This Gov. tries to discredit unions whilst letting their cronyism go unchecked.
Let's see how much support the NHS strikers get when the guest person dies due to their behaviour at the worst time of the year
Then the taxpayers strikes for government giving away millions upon millions

Steve Barclay 'Holding UK To Ransom' By Refusing To Discuss Nurses' Pay, Claims UnionA department of health source told HuffPost UK: 'The government’s position on pay is unchanged - the country cannot afford to meet the unions’ inflation-busting demands.' They could afford the £30+ billion in dodgy Covid contracts for their Tory mates. The system has to change from the top down, no more dubious expenses for MPs, no more subsidised food and booze in Westminster, get rid of the very expensive cars at government disposal, no more non dom status and stop the tax avoiding billions being shifted offshore kerching The government have found out refusing to discuss works, no matter if its lockdown party's, PPE fast track or NHS funding. Time passing lessens the pressure on them and things slide. It won't work with this one hopefully

Health Secretary Steve Barclay writes to unions for fresh strike talks - but still won't move on payHe also calls on nurses and ambulance staff to 'honour commitments' over patient safety when they strike this week. The old Tory tricks of turning the public against the strikers no longer work. Probably won’t turn up in the post until after Xmas So it's a pointless gesture, made for no other reason than to allow the Tories to say they're trying to engage with the unions, when in fact they aren't engaging at all.
