Giving nurses the pay increase they're calling for would cost around £1.8 billion per year.
Scrapping the non-dom tax avoidance scheme used by the super-rich would raise much more - around £3.2 billion per year.
The Tory refusal to pay nurses properly is a political choice.

So tired of Sunak and other Tory ministers talking about “union bosses” as though decisions to strike aren’t voted for by members. Staff striking for fair pay are ordinary people seeking to make ends meet & trying to do the best for their families #PMQs

I may be being a bit thick here, but without the Truss/Kwarteng mini-budget, couldn’t we have afforded pay rises for the rail workers, the Royal Mail AND the nurses?

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

So Rishi Sunak – the richest MP in history – is going to become Prime Minister, with plans to cut funding for public services and slash workers' wages.
This Tory class war will be waged with no mandate, without a single vote being cast.
General election now! #EnoughIsEnough

Total wealth of Britain's billionaires
▪️2012: £212 Billion
▪️2022: £653 Billion
That's up 3-fold.
Remember that when you hear Tory MPs saying we need public service cuts.
We don't need more austerity - we need a Wealth Tax on extreme wealth!

Imagine if the right-wing media was as outraged by poverty, hunger and low pay as it is by asking for a fair pay rise and opposing job losses that endanger the public.

The full take-down of the #Rwanda policy, is the most thorough, detailed and florid dismantling of gov't policy I've seen in many years.
Worth watching in full and sharing. Patel reduced to gurning. I won't quote from it, because every line is quotable. ~AA

The Germans are seizing yachts. The French are seizing yachts. Meanwhile, Britain is letting oligarchs quietly put their affairs in order before slipping out of the country. If you were furious about the Downing Street parties, you should be sick to your stomach about this

The Germans have now seized oligarch Alisher Usmanov’s yacht.
Usmanov also owns Sutton Place in the UK.
Is @BorisJohnson going to keep pace with the EU… or is he, very mysteriously, dragging his feet on tackling oligarchs?

I just voted on Priti Patel's Nationality and Borders Bill.
It's an attack on refugee rights, criminalising boats rescuing people at sea and violating our 70-year commitment to the Refugee Convention.
I voted against it, but disgracefully Conservative MPs voted it through.

All eyes on PM’s illegal party tonight. But is leading on Russia/Ukraine. The threat of war in Europe is real right now.
Remember too how Boris Johnson personally intervened to suppress Russia Report. How he knighted the son of a KGB chief. How he refused to investigate.
