I'm afraid Today's Nick Robinson wasn't quite sharp enough with Maria Caulfield on the nurses' strike this morning. She indicated a willingness to talk about working conditions, mentioning training and shifts - changes which would cost the paymasters more money. Why not lump some of that onto basic pay ?
However Maria let loose one hostage to fortune; every additional one per cent on nurses' pay costs £750m (although she also mentioned £700m and £800m). One could feel the audience doing comparisons with PPE waste, non-dom taxes, Rwanda deals etc....
