We’re patching holes in the NHS with gaffer tape and goodwill while politicians wank on about targets and productivity. I’ve held the hand of a patient coding out because we’re understaffed, then filled out the incident report knowing the real incident was the government cutting beds for twenty years. Pay us properly or stop pretending you value us — I’d rather have a 30k salary increase than another clap at the doorstep from people who’d vote me into poverty. Mental health crisis? It’s not a crisis, it’s neglect. We’ve got kids in A&E for three days waiting for a psych bed because the services don’t exist. And don’t give me that "we’re investing" bullshit — I see the rot. I live it.
