I know this is an historic action, but it is not the first nurses strike. It was action against another Tory government too. There’s a surprise.
The NHS is a failure as a healthcare system. Let us look to other systems that outperform it such as the French and German model of social insurance that have better outcomes.
They need to repeat the strikes without the derogations…
