🧵Whilst a large part of the workforce received furlough for a year, nurses worked harder than ever before, facing a deadly virus.
The whole country was scared and so were we.
We all stood together knowing we were essentially entering a lottery. Our families also knew this.

A child has died because of mould in their home, in the UK, in the 21st century, under a cruel Tory government which has placed the poorest into abject poverty and punishes immigrants.
A child.
A beautiful innocent child.
My heart is broken 💔
I'm a very experienced A&E nurse and my wage is so low that as a widowed single parent I also receive universal credit.
So don't you dare use the fact that as a life saver, I've been undervalued by government as an excuse to bash the

Mick Lynch hasn't ruined Christmas....

This isn't Mick's fault, it's the governments.
The day after Jess Phillips spent five desperately sad, heartbreaking minutes reading out the names of women who lost their lives to domestic violence, Fiona Bruce excused Stanley Johnson's domestic violence as a one off.

I wasn't going to write this tweet, but I can't leave it unsaid.
When the Queen welcomed our PM, it looked to me that she had very recently had a cannula in her hand.
At the age of 96, to have the strength in her final days to perform her duty, was and is worthy of upmost respect
If you'd rather see desperate people sent to Rwanda at a cost of millions, than spend that money on feeding our millions of hungry children, then you need to retrain as a human.

Before the vilification of nurses reaches full swing, I thought I'd inject the truth that will be lost.
On the picket line are my friends, the majority of whom are on their day off.

Recently, for the first time ever, I asked people to follow me.

I was a hero.

My notifications are too disgusting for me to read any more and for the first time I've had to limit who replies.
For those accusing me of political point scoring.
How can the death of a child due to such poor housing conditions not be political?
Never forget that under Boris Johnson's watch, two raucous parties were held in Downing Street on the eve of Prince Phillips funeral.
His words of sorrow are empty.
Just been shopping.
No fresh vegetables at all. Quite a big deal for a vegetarian.
I've taken the dodgy leap of buying frozen peppers even though I'm sure they hold no nutritional value.

These are NHS nurses who stepped up and stood up to a deadly virus.
They are university educated, highly skilled life savers.

Katy works for me. She is single & earns less than 30k, rents a room for £775pcm in Central London, has student debt, £120 a month on travelling to work saves money every month, goes on foreign holidays & does not need to use a foodbank.
Katy makes my point really well.
Clive reported from war torn Ukraine, placing himself in great danger.
Who knew that telling the truth about Boris Johnson on HIGNFY would be more dangerous.
In Boris Johnson's interview with Beth Rigby, he said...
"Look at what I've done for nurses since I came in"
I'm flucking looking..
I've had a pay cut.
I've had my workload increased.
I've lost 3 friends who were doing their job, to covid.
Oh, and I've had 3 death threats
6 years ago my husband and I had a comfortable life.
Then he was killed in a motorcycle accident and my nurses salary was so low, I began receiving universal credit.
A year ago I got long covid doing my job and my salary has now stopped.
A decent government would look after me.
I'm an A&E nurse and I'm trying to make my voice louder than our useless health secretary.
With Oliver Dowden continuing the LIES, please, and I've never asked before, give me a follow so I can make the TRUTH louder than their lies.
Thank you ✊️💙💙
#NursesStrike
To hear that our chief scientific advisors were locked out of the room, shut out from the decision making because Boris Johnson didn't want "science getting in the way" should be enough to jail Boris Johnson for life.
"We are following the science"
Boris Johnson.
LIES.
I knew twitter was a cesspit.
Such disgusting responses to my tweet about the tragic death of a child have left me sickened and appalled.
What has happened to people?
My 14 year old daughter welcomed a boy from Ukraine into her class yesterday.
Today a boy in her class was placed in isolation for racist remarks towards this poor boy.
That's Boris Johnson's Britain for you.
My daughter is looking after him❤️🇺🇦
I'm off for the night.
To all the trolls who have abused me for 3 days:
Would you abuse me after I'd restarted your heart, recognised your sepsis and acted, realised in triage that you were having a stroke and prevented catastrophic damage or held your hand as you lost a child?
The Tories can throw whatever they want at me today, I don't care....
My wonderful, incredible son received his Masters in physics, 1st class with honours today.
He now embarks on his PHD with full scholarship.
Not bad for a single parent, eh Boris?

It's just the perfect distraction from the carnage of our collapsing NHS and it's obscene to be concentrating on this while people are dying because of our piss poor government!

You're having a cardiac arrest.
Do you want a nurse who didn't sleep the night before, worrying about putting food on the table. Whose £13/hour wage means she'll be going to a food bank?
Or
Do you want a nurse who's paid well enough to not have those worries?
#NursesStrike
So here it is.
What you won't hear is me trying to get a word in edgeways because, unlike his other calls, he muted me.
I told him I didn't want his thanks and asked him if Michelle Mone was sitting on her yacht.
He censored my call just like they censor the truth.
Robert Jenrick has just said that crime and knife crime would reduce with better role models.
Our prime minister broke the law twice.
The deputy prime minister is a bully.
The home secretary uses divisive dehumanising language.
The leveling up secretary is a coke head.

I've seen a few copy and paste "I can't vote Labour, I'm a socialist"
Well, here's my reply...
I will do whatever it takes to remove the Tories, I'm a realist.
Make no mistake, Suella Braverman is telling her far right racist fanbase that they must "police" the Armistice Day march.
She is not only inciting violence, she's calling them to arms.
The home secretary, the person who is responsible for our safety is courting violence.
All nurses, please add your stories 🙏
I had an end of life patient who wasn't eating. She turned everything down and only wanted some ice cream. I phoned the kitchens and there was none, so I phoned my late husband and 30 minutes later she was eating ice cream 💙
If the floating barge is so cost effective and filled with amenities, let's have one on the Thames for MP'S.
Save the tax payer funding their second homes.
Maybe there might be enough money to give nurses and doctors a decent pay rise.
@RishiSunak
, what do you think?
I want to thank you all so very much for making my voice louder than our lying health secretary.

You can be assured that I will never stop fighting for the truth.
For my patients and for my friends who made the ultimate sacrifice.

People have found out that Katy comes from a privileged background.
Can I ask People not to aim any abuse at her please.
@LeeAndersonMP_

He has endangered her just to abuse nurses.
Misogyny.

I think I was about thirteen when I read a book on Auschwitz.

Steve Barclay is disappointed that junior doctors have joined nurses and ambulance staff in strike action.

He earns more money for doing nothing than a surgeon who can literally replace your heart.

Whilst Rishi Sunak was dishing out furlough, so his rich business mates didn't have to foot the bill, nurses didn't get furlough, we worked harder than humanly possible and now we get a pay cut to balance his cooked books.
Double blow to the stomach.

For that, they work 12hr shifts, they hold lives in their hands, they wash, dress, medicate, feed, manually handle, clean incontinence and toilets. Yes, toilets that have been contaminated

My friend has died.
She was a dedicated nurse who worked 12 hour shifts on a very painful hip whilst waiting over 12 months for a hip replacement.
She never complained and would refuse to go home when we showed concern and tried to make her.
Rest in eternal peace 🕯💔💙
How do you know when a government is absolutely unfit to lead?
When footballers have to hold them to account.
Marcus Rashford forced them to feed our children and Gary Lineker has had to speak out about inflammatory dehumanising language used by our despicable leaders.
Died for a cause?
What about the 1000 NHS staff who died because Boris Johnson gave PPE contracts to mates who produced zero or substandard PPE?
What about the 25,000 who were sent to their deaths in care homes because he lied?
The only thing Boris cares about: HIMSELF.
You know the Tories are finished when your twitter feed is literally filled with photos of the HUNDREDS of Tory MP'S who voted to pump raw sewage into our rivers and sea.

Matt Hancock is a demented psychopath.
Attempting to relaunch himself is the most disgusting, stomach churning act of self promotion I've ever seen.
To see him laughing,
to see him try to deny his actions is beyond sickening.
My friends can't relaunch themselves. They died💔💙
The government advertising campaign to stop people polluting by dropping cigarette ends is commendable, but Where's the campaign to stop them pouring raw sewage into our waterways?
The NHS has relied on the "goodwill" of its staff for as long as I've been nursing (over 30 years).
We miss breaks, finish late or start early without getting paid.
We "gift" over a million hours a week.
So, you tell me

If you don't think that nurses do a dangerous job, you've obviously never spent a Friday night in A&E.
If you think nurses are greedy, then you've never been a patient.
If you think nursing is easy then you've never been to ITU.
We are highly skilled and worthy of respect.
Feckless baby father and well documented racist sexist homophobic misogynist Boris Johnson earns well over a nurses annual salary for an hour of chat.
He also receives gifts.
Nurses have a code of conduct that rightly prevents us from taking any gift over £10
But we're greedy!
I'm sickened at how many people are defending a 30 year old man forcing his penis down the throat of a 16 year old child.
Come near my feed and you'll be blocked.
Fcking sick b*stards.
12 years of Tory government.....
A disgraced police service.
An NHS in crisis.
More food banks than McDonald's.
Working families unable to heat their homes.
40,000 excess deaths last year.
It is the duty of government to protect its citizens.
Do you feel protected?
If you take away a workers right to industrial action, you take away workers rights to safe working conditions and enslave them to capitalism.
We wouldn't have equal opportunities, disability rights or women's rights without the action taken by our ancestors.
#RightToStrike
While Boris Johnson was lying and partying, three of my friends died trying to save others. Tomorrow he'll be lying to save himself.
I've been left with long covid, salary stopped because I tried to save others. Tomorrow he'll be lying to save himself.

"The country has fallen out of love with the NHS"
What a load of gaslighting nonsense.
The Tories want you to believe this so that they can justify destroying our greatest achievement.
NHS staff who are working harder than ever are not the enemy.
Don't fall for this sh!t.
I've worked in emergency nursing for 30 years.
During that time, I've forgotten how many Hearts I've restarted, how many hands I've held as diagnosis is given, yet as a widowed single parent I can't afford the train fare to join the march.

I was wondering when you're going to find your teeny tiny balls and sack Suella Braverman for calling the far right to arms?
The violence that's occurring right now, by far right hooligans led by Tommy Robinson is because of Suella Braverman's words.
You weak man
All news outlets have covered Harry's book so comprehensively that I won't need to read it.

Shall we get back to the crisis in the NHS where hundreds of real people are dying every week before we can see them.

I want to thank everyone who has followed me. I'm truly grateful that you're amplifying my truth about the NHS.
