Award and immediate 25% pay rise to all healthcare professionals, fire fighters and police. In order to finance this award the government must immediately cancel the forthcoming £100 billion upgrade of Britain’s Trident nuclear weapons system.

It really is time for government to recognize the importance of the emergency services and to remunerate them fairly. Bankers and footballers do not save lives. Also, £100 billion on a weapons system that (in reality) could never, ever be used is just a waste of money. The world is going to be a very different place after Covid-19. The government will need to stay with the new zeitgeist. Recognizing our emergency services will be a good start.
