On this day in 1897 Nye Bevan, the founder of our NHS, was born in South Wales.
Today let's remind ourselves of the struggle to create our NHS and reinvigorate our determination to defend it 👏

30 years ago the Disability Discrimination Act came into force.
It made it illegal to discriminate against disabled people - for the first time.
There’s still so much to do. But we celebrate the steps forward along the way.

The government have said they can only afford 2.5% for NHS Pay. That's not good enough.
Ministers must recognise the PRB is broken.
They need to come to the table themselves - and deliver the decent pay that NHS workers deserve.

This International Women’s Day is about accelerating action – and working women can’t wait any longer for pay justice.
Asda workers have been waiting for equal pay since 2012.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
