royal college - you think they will do so? yes, so, for us at the royal college of- for us at the royal college of nursing, it would be the first actually take strike action two years ago in northern ireland, but absolutely it has been a century and we have not done it until now. we've been campaigning the last few weeks, talking to our members to get a sense of where they are at, and there is very, very strong support from our members to take strike action, which is really shocking, unsurprising, for me, as somebody who has worked as a nurse myself for a time, it is a point i never thought i would get to. find a time, it is a point i never thought i would get to. and what is our thought i would get to. and what is your message _ thought i would get to. and what is your message to — thought i would get to. and what is your message to whoever - thought i would get to. and what is your message to whoever is - thought i would get to. and what is your message to whoever is the - thought i would get to. and what is | your message to whoever is the new prime minister, we will know that tomorrow, of course, in terms of how nurses in th

a picket line when asked and i think the nurses, the teachers this winter, including the royal college of nurseshe best thing we can do for those workers on the side of the labour movement, which is the political side, is to get a labour government. and i'm convinced both the language and policies circular was using today will resonate so well in that term, which remains a tory seat for 100 years. i'm convinced we can help convince our neighbours that labour is worth voting for and can change their lives. fin is worth voting for and can change their lives. , ~ is worth voting for and can change their lives-— their lives. on strike action, the nhs, their lives. on strike action, the nhs, wtr _ their lives. on strike action, the nhs, wtr balloting _ their lives. on strike action, the nhs, wtr balloting this - their lives. on strike action, the i nhs, wtr balloting this weekend. they want 12%, they will go out on strike. so should or would a labour give them those inflation busting pay rises, bearing in mind you want to be seen as the party of financial responsibility and it doesn't all come from mo
