NHS Nurses currently earn, on average, £2750 a month. Around £620 less than Boris and Carrie spent each month on luxury takeaway meals. 
A 3% pay rise would give nurses an extra £2.70 a day. Before tax.
People asking me how much I think nurses should earn. Well it's not up to me to decide but "more than the cost price of Carrie and Boris's takeaway meals" might be a good metric
That's the average. I've got an awful lot of nurses telling me they earn significantly less.
Nurses.co.uk says: "Roughly after all stoppages, nurses get between £1,600 - £1,800 per month."
So incredibly many nurses are taking home less than half the cost of Boris and Carrie's takeaway meals per month.
I don't know about you but that says so much to me.

Or put another way... these same junior nurses could afford one and 3/4 rolls of Boris Johnson's £840-a-roll wallpaper from their monthly salary.
