Britain faces strike action from exhausted healthcare workers angry at a “pitiful” 1% pay rise.
This comes as a new study shows the UK govt increased spending on the military to $61.5bn last year.
The UK now has 4th-largest defence budget in the world.

The new report from the IISS found that only the US, China and India spent more on their militaries than the UK last year.
Russia now spends less than the UK on its military despite being 70 times the size of the UK and having twice as many inhabitants.

Around £56.1bn of the NHS annual budget goes on staffing costs. A 1% pay rise would cost £561m.
That’s almost the same amount the MOD spent on missiles for its new fleet of F-35 fighter jets in January.
The F-35 has been called “a total piece of crap”.
