NHS workers march to downing street for pay justice
FRONT-LINE NHS workers marched to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s home in Downing Street this evening, demanding pay justice after being “criminally let down” by the government.
Protesters assembled outside St Thomas’ Hospital in London for the socially distanced demonstration and marched to No 10, where they held a number of speeches.
The action came as part of nationwide anger at the government’s decision to put off a pay rise for NHS staff until April 2021.
