The health secretary has appeared to rule out a 10% pay rise for nurses, insisting the move is “not affordable”. It comes as Isabel Oakeshott called out nurses over their pay concerns leaving them unable to feed their families.

Pressed on whether a 10% pay increase for nurses was reasonable, Steve Barclay said: “Well 10% is not affordable, it would be an extra £3.6bn a year and obviously that would take money away from patient services, essential services that we need to invest in, given the backlogs from the pandemic.”

The health secretary continued: “I have discussions with the Treasury, as do other secretaries of state, and these things need to be balanced not just with the needs of teachers, with the education secretary, or train drivers, with the transport secretary, but also what’s affordable for your viewers in terms of their own cost of living pressures.”

It comes as Conservative MP’s comments that nurses using food banks were just not budgeting properly have been called “heartless” by a union.

Isabel Oakeshott told TalkTV said it is nonsense that senior nurses cannot afford to eat, as they continue to strike over pay: “You can buy food cheaply, you just have to adjust.”

So here is the plan
Dump Izzy in the centre of London – tell her to find accommodation to rent , pay for bills and energy costs, pay toward student debt, pay over £100 per week to park at work, sort out childcare
All on £30k a year
Live it for a month and come back to us

Ah yes, workers should be happy to live on a nutritious meal of oats and water, sometimes known as gruel. A foodstuff synonymous with the exploitative social structures and workhouse culture of Dickensian London. https://t.co/C4eKDtW6V8

Oakeshott is taking 30pLee's slot now he's off Twitter. I hope she hasn't got any staff… I think her likes should be doing porridge, not advocating eating it. Telling people to live a mean and miserable existence isn't going to be a vote-winner for the Tories methinks… https://t.co/TfuYFeZmTP

What is it about rich people that gives them to right to advise poor people? I don't give them on advice on tax avoidance, getting career leg ups from family contacts or writing shite books. https://t.co/GhyPrVOuZd

How about subsidising nurses’ food to the same extent as MPs’ food is subsidised in the House of Commons? https://t.co/GvduDxERq1

Ardern

Jacinda Ardern has said she has “no regrets” about her plans to quit as New Zealand leader, after a decision that shocked both supporters and critics.

A day after revealing she had “no more in the tank”, she said she was feeling a “range of emotions” from sadness to a “sense of relief”.

Isabel had her own thoughts on Ardern plan to step down.

She wrote: “Jacinda Ardern smirked as she imprisoned an entire population, telling them: “don’t talk to your neighbours.” A deeply sinister authoritarian masquerading as a liberal progressive. Good riddance!”
