Minister says she doesn't see 'any point' in nurses going on strike 

Yep the blue party keeps shooting itself in the foot - giving Labour a free lunch at no 10.

The pay demands from the nurses could soon be wearing Rolex watches themselves !😒

@@harry-thepug76 good if they do.

Maybe the Rolex was a gift ?

MP's didn't get a pay rise in 2021 and this year it was a tiny 2.7%. When compared with other professionals, solicitors, accountants, dentists, their salaries are very average at best. My plumber earns more !

Animal Farm in action.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 Yes , but does your Plumber get very generous expenses, can he get offered lucrative deals on a Company's Board or money for giving speeches to those who owe them favours.

and most mp`s have extra income coming in

Clapping is not enough?! How come?!

£34,000 per year is not enough?!!

@@orlandoburgess4858 as an ITU nurse I can answer: no. Plus nurses don’t make that much. Some of London nurses do, but the starting salary outside of capital is 27k

Agree but I know mostly foreign nurses on 70k..maybe consultants and missing in ward doctors need a look at rebalancing medic incomes overall

Yep. These people aren't worth listening to as they pass judgment upon us meagre mortals.

Well said, infuriating!

underpaid your joking, very well paid yes, sressed no-plenty of staff i see just yapping and drinking tea and sorting out xmas parties-if someone dies because of their actions, they must be sued personally for millions

@@MrPatch25 Yeas, that's right, they are.

The Public,don't agree,they threw themselves under The Bus,when they,were/ are Complicit,in injecting Black Triangle,drugs to the Public.

@@ThePereubu1710 Must be Joking

i get £22000 a year and can live happy i own my home i wish i got £34000 a year and they want more they must be joking

These people are just inferior vampires, who think that they're entitled to cannibalise nurses for their own self-interests. If they don't want to pay us properly, let them deliver their own babies on their carpets in front of the fire, like they had to before we were there.

That's exactly why they need to strike. So she can see their point. Maybe a strike will help her see the point.

People that have plenty always talk crap.

She’s demonstrating exactly why strikes are required. This woman needs to see what happens when there aren’t any nurses, reading and listening to experts hasn’t worked.

@@jasonk7072 strikes help management see the point. She obviously needs a strike so she can understand better.

@The Racer it's not just about the pay. It's about respect and quality of life. People are tired of neoliberal work policies that suck your soul out. We aren't on the same team. It's not about profit and salary. It's about failed policy after failed policy from so called leaders and managers. Nice try, though.

@@PorthLlwyd cant be that many duties, she barely got time to unpack her case.

@@PorthLlwyd What's that worth per hour of her Premiership? More than the price of a lettuce I bet.

She gets $115,000 a year from being prime minister? Sign me up ! It won't take long. 😆

I think nurses are paid way too much.

she doesnt have a nephew she knows of.

The NHS was not the only service that worked throughout Covid!!!!

Your forgetting the boris Johnson and Matt Hancock scam putting lots of cash under there mattresses Greed and self preservation life matters 🤣

@@stevemk4st649 Brilliant point. If Nurses get a pay rise, then every frontline worker deserves a pay rise!

And not for those that use super markets for booze and food banks for food.

there is personal responsibility as well, which seems to have been forgotten.

Indeed, and not only is it the job of Govt, it is the number 1 priority of Govt!

Aldi is better

Are Aldi and Amazon paying more than £27k (brand new graduate rate in first year) plus anti social hours, and pension as generous, plus the t&c for holiday and sick pay that the NHS offer? On the shop floor and warehouse? I dont think so. Amazon publish their rates and so does the NHS for the Agenda for Change pay scales, with nurses starting at Band 5. The Royal College of Nursing, 'Nursing notes' and NHS Employers websites all publish this information.

What wrong with sainsburys? Ppl don't leave 27k staring salary Jon's to work min wage in a supermarket ....what crap ha

Well, at least Aldi and Amazon are less stressful and less night shifts.

i have just left the nhs(not a nurse), the managers are in it for the money and are a big partof the problem, they are just climbing the ladder and getting paid stupid money

Should be asking all the politicians and famous celebs to do that and also the billionaires but they won’t do that they couldn’t care less

A true Blue Tory demon from Hell

@@sammydingdong4540 To demonstrate how much of a traitor to workers she really is. She was actually raised in Liverpool by a stanch Labour socialist family who actively supported the miners strikes. She isn't posh. She is a social climber with no interest in those she left behind who happened to give her a really good start with a degree apprenticeship in an engineering career. Her own admission btw. She thinks that telling this story on the BBC would bring her closer to the red wall voters. They should understand it just demonstrates a social climber who turned her back on everyone that wasn't going to help her career on the tory gravy train. And this is the proof.

Just another smirking Tory.

Yet people are voting her in.

I think she makes a lot of sense

100%

The self employed will take your jobs

And civil uprisings

Yep what's needed is for these fools to wake up because we're headed for riots at this point. Doubtful they can stick ankle monitors on everyone. The fact these MPs get huge fat wages to literally slouch and nap on the benches of Westminster spouting nothing all day is proof enough that we're in need of change.

She’s a Tory

She can't relate to normal people. She has been separated from them, deliberately, since birth to ensure that sympathy cannot occur. The public school system was designed to create imperial administrators without compassion, now they only have us to bludgeon.

​@@robertstraw9881 yes exactly. 😆

100% they do

Rwanda - 120 million

...as everyone else

True, they save people's lives. People who complain about this should not go to the hospital.

Thats good, no need to worry about heating then.

@@jjefferyworboys8138AS FUNNY AS CLAMYDIA

The whole system is over populated,to many cooks.

The first is probably to do away with this overpaid and no real value minister

If criminals went on strike..............😆

She is just one big boiler

She’d claim it back on expenses anyway

She probably doesn’t pay fir anything in her life just gets handed everything on a plate

But she has visited FBs so she knows. Really they are there because they spent their wages on fancy holidays.

But the emergency is everyday.

Truth. Seems deliberate at this point. Someone wants us crippled and 3rd world.

@@AmmyNoUzume the conservative party exists to protect vested interests and wealthy individuals. This means they encourage mass immigration for cheap labour (wages have not increased since 2008). And encourage the population through the media that the real enemy is the nurse on 30k or the postman on 25k.

2020 to 2022 rishi sunak lost and cost the uk tax payers just under 500 billion

Labour isn't much better tbh, they love a cheap workforce. Both are snakes. They'll all be safe and snug when the country turns to a madhouse. Communities will need to fend for themselves.

Let's not forget furlough fraud as well which they've written off!

The answer is more shifts for additional capital. The hospitals are warm, stay there.

The answer is hire more staff nurses doctors surgeons and also pay them an actual wage that they can live off from but going on strike mmmm no all those people currently on hospital beds fighting g fir their life that can’t take care if themselves anymore and families has to do everything around there work and lives and usual day to day life to be able to live take care if themselves I don’t agree with the strikes can’t just leave the patients inside so they go and protest and the giver needs,not couldn’t give two shits as they never do

@@jacknelson927 Another answer is to reduce the number of ill people then fewer healthcare workers are needed. We can start with lifestyle related illnesses like type 2 diabetes, most cases of atherosclerosis, obesity etc. Fasting costs nothing, more exercise, growing more vegetables in the garden to exceed the 5 a day and getting enough rest.

They are paid £27k - £55k, that is more than enough for food, fuel and bills. Nurses are not being underpaid, the medical profession as a whole is as greedy as MPs and just want more money like anyone else.

@@PorterB so please tell me why nurses keep leaving?

Keegan or burley? 😆

@@Christinebanks11 both

Yes I’m pretty sure it’s £27,050 annually

@@safakhaliq4098 No thats the starting wage in 2022: 'A newly qualified Band 5 NHS nurse now earns £27,055.'

That's unbelievable, Here in the USA the average Salary for a Nurse is 75K.

@@victor________ What does that have to do with an MP'S 2nd job? Oh by the way, why does any MP need a 2nd job anyway? There are 650 of them to run the entire country. They should be focussed on doing that. If that doesn't occupy all of their available time, they should readjust their priorities.

It's all bollocks. Money loses value so fast. When my friends went for all the good jobs I just stuck with my one or two s**t jobs, purchased land and buildings (didn't earn anything while working on them - the wage was £0/hours - lots of hours were worked to make them livable and productive). But due to the government adding so much liquidity to the system (bailing out the irresponsible mofos, all those government pay rises and ballooning public sector) the land and properties have appreciated so fast the value is far more than the shiny sparkly wages, so many of the prestige and money hungry friends no longer want to talk as their savings have diminished and living costs keep rising.

The politicians are all sitting comfortably after nearly 3 years of doing almost nothing apart from destroying our country. They also got a £10k lump sum and £3k pay rise in that period. It goes without saying that they have no concerns past their own self serving ambitions.

Foreigners? The test and trace app cost £40 billion the Tories crashed the economy to the cost of nearly £70 billion how much money is the UK pumping into the war in Ukraine?

Plus too many slimy politicians and bank crooks scumming it up.

Stop the waste in the NHS and they could fund it themselves

@@MrPatch25 Which party has been presiding over the NHS for the last 12 years and why haven't they exposed this so called waste?

WEll said!

The mps did nothing for about 2 months this year while they were indulging in in ego elections and chose a dud at the end. The world still turned...

Let MPs strike and then the nurses can run the country. They will do a much better job

Same I hate how nurses are being treated by our minsters who were clapping for them 2 years ago disgusting

@@NinjaVestos Yes, exactly. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and then an inpatient at a physical therapy facility for 2 months (I’m in the US) after a very bad car accident and the nurses made such a difference in both places, as did the physical and occupational therapists and others. I might be biased as my mother was a psych nurse and her sister a surgical nurses and I saw how hard they worked to care for patients. Hospitals would fall apart without them and doctors would have no idea what to do. Nurses deserve the utmost respect.

no no no! They all waste their money on big tvs and holidays in Benidorm, unlike Bunter who gets his rich mates to pay for these trifles.

Well people don't go to food banks because it's a good social meeting

She said it was because usually something is broken. Yeah, the country for a start.

No, the problem is living costs. Lower those and wages do not need to rise.

@@kynchan3332 same thing, people don't have money to get by

Oh just pay them more, so simple.

670,000 nurses in the NHS. That’s a lot of pay rises

I'm surprised she could hear the anecdotes through her anti poor people hazmat suit

Everone thinks its like Casualty Not even the reality ones like AE 24/7 touch the shifts from hell.

I doubt they understand. They nearly all went to public school, and those that didn't have to try double hard to close their hearts to be accepted.

But the more people ask for, the more taxes the government needs to collect.

@@DamiensTrainsandTravels Historically most people were malnourished in society. But there are cycles where people had more and then after a while of more abundance there was far less. The developed governments are all in debt (with a couple of exceptions), currency debasement has happened to cope with debt repayments. The people who have benefited are the ones with plenty of assets. The common worker has been kicked around and what he earns buys less and less. If the worker was responsible he would have found that his savings have been devalued significantly over time. When he retires he'll find that what state pension he has doesn't really keep up with inflation. (There are videos on youtube from the 70's showing people who have worked nearly all their adult lives in very physically demanding work for 4 decades or so with so little to show for it. Some even go back to work if they are healthy enough to make ends meet.) I belong to the asset rich class, buildings and arable land (for the cash flow and plenty of produce including fuel). I even saved some currency from 45 years ago, when I started working. The £1 note I've kept has lost over 90% of its real value. The buildings and arable land however, have appreciated far faster than inflation - not from my doing (after all I can not just create more currency out of thin air).

Ha ha- as if they were ever in such a luxurious position to implement that!

Who would decide that?

To avoid malnutrition. 😆

Yeah that bit made me gasp.

Then don't?

No more than Premier division footballers and their managers wages do. The manager of Manchester City gets paid £20m a year !!!!!!

I clear £18 grand as a band 3 auxillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if the staff is leaving due to low pay where they are going to work ?

Anyone with training can go anywhere in the world and make more than the UK offers. Until this problem is resolved the NHS will continue to erode and the Tory plan to privatize will strip people of a fundamental right.

@@undoisitreidezero5242 somewhere with similar pay, but shorter hours and less stress?

@@undoisitreidezero5242 agency nurses can get paid up to £50 an hour, potentially more. But they don't get the same level of training as NHS staff.

As opposed to ignorant Labour ?

MPs's received a 2.7% pay increase this year and nothing in 2021. In real teems they have taken a huge pay cut. Solicitors, accountants, dentists all earn more. My plumber does !

the foreign aid budget serves a real purpose. It helps countries develop and improve lives for the poorest people and helps defend against conflict outbreaks that have a impact on the rest of the world.

Cannot spend your way out of inflation, but can give Billions to corporations and the uber rich in tax cuts...

@@graceharrington4560 Your a deluded fool.

Also, above average salary? That's because they do an above average job. They're amazing.
