Lucky me! The week @threeuk offer me a special new contract they apply to erect a 19m mast 30 feet in front of my house. Perhaps @RobertFinnegan would like to discuss how this mast would tower over this residential area with homes, listed buildings and schools. #5g at any cost!

So proud to be part of this team!
Without volunteers parkrun wouldn’t happen

Our @QUBVChancellor has warned that planned cuts to the #HigherEducation budget will have a fundamental & dangerous impact on the #NorthernIreland economy that could damage the region’s prosperity.
Retweet to ask for the cuts to be reversed.
Read the full #OpenLetter below.
ALT “We already lose 34% of our young people (approx 5000) every year to universities in Great Britain and less than a third of those ever come back home. This not only has a devastating effect on families, but brings real and present dangers for our economy. The HE Sector in Northern Ireland has had a 40% cut in funding since 2011 while other regions and jurisdictions have had significant investment. This approach is unfair to both students and staff, many of whom are currently taking industrial action for better pay and conditions... I am urging our politicians, business leaders, community leaders and policy makers to work in partnership with the sector to reverse this highly damaging approach. Today’s action is tomorrow’s legacy and unless we invest in our young people’s education and provide them with the opportunities to stay at home to contribute positively to our society and economy then the next generation face a bleak future."

Our dear family friend James’ film nominated. Also up for a BAFTA. James is one of the most wonderful actors you could meet. He is a real ambassador for our wee country. So proud.

As we begin another day of strike action my thoughts are with all our nursing staff. The College will continue to fight for you and your patients. I will see many of you on pickets lines today.
Una Short retweeted
As we approach 2023, I wish every member of our nursing staff a happy and healthy New Year. We will continue to work night and day to have your voices heard at the highest level. You deserve respect. You deserve a decent pay rise and you deserve to have safe staffing levels.

Here I am at the Royal Victoria Inf the start of the 2nd day of action. This government must stop giving nursing staff the cold shoulder. Let’s start speaking and bring this strike to an end before Christmas

“The NHS is in a crisis, the nursing profession can’t take any more, our loved ones – your parents, children, friends and relatives – are the ones at stake here."
On the eve of the first #RCNStrike, @patcullen9 sets out why this action is the only option.

“We have an overreliance on international recruitment from red list countries… they do not have enough nurses to care for their populations”
@theRCN’s @patcullen9 says the UK is “raiding” nurses from developing countries who then can’t afford to live in the UK

“Over the past decade our nurses' pay has dropped by 20% and at the same time…what has happened to those ministers their pay has risen by more than 20%.”
@patcullen9 says that in real terms over the last decade nurses are working for five days and only being paid four.

The letter has also been sent to the party Chairman Oliver Dowden. The College will await the response on behalf of their half million respected nursing (voting) members.
Our General Secretary and Chief Executive @patcullen9 has written to @Mike_Fabricant over his comments today on nurses drinking in staff rooms during #COVID19.
Una Short retweeted
Drinking in the staff room? Our members led the response to the pandemic and still are. They go above & beyond every day to keep patients safe - too often putting their own lives on the line. The Tory party may disrespect nurses but we respect you and all you do. #bestofnursing
"I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink"
Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise

Our members couldn’t even get water on a shift, moved out of their homes into makeshift hotels to protect their families and care for their patients. Couldn’t hug their children, had plastic buckets at their doors with disinfectant for their uniforms. How dare the Tory Govt.
