✊Solidarity with @BMAResidents striking for fair pay. The government needs to get around the table and resolve this dispute. Medics, like educators, deserve to be paid fairly for the vital work they do. @TheBMA theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
Solidarity with the BMA. The last thing they're doing is "undermining the Trade Union movement". They're resisting a race to the bottom. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

🚨 The clock is ticking... It’s 100 days before the UK government must deliver a new climate plan. With the Met Office saying that extreme weather is now the UK’s new normal, we can’t afford any more weak promises from those in power. And we’re not the only ones who agree...
