PHIL MAXWELL

During the recent nurses strike I spoke to a number of strikers who knew of colleagues using food banks or were using them themselves. As the cost of living soars more than half of NHS trusts and health boards are either providing or planning food banks for staff.

According to the Royal College of Nursing their members on average work an extra 6 hours for no extra pay each week. During the pandemic politicians lined up to have their photographs taken as they clapped for NHS workers. Now they are refusing to pay them a living wage for the incredible life saving work they do.

I hope the photomontage below expresses the outrage that millions of people in the UK feel about the lying, corrupt and hypocritical political class that rules over us. No one should have to use a food bank in the sixth richest economy in the world. Solidarity with everyone fighting back against the economic system that has brought a wretched poverty and life to millions in food bank Britain.
