Second paragraph of third chapter:The dull stinging sensation of a numb arm woke Tom Niven. He glanced at his watch. It was still stupid o'clock. What the hell was going on? His head was still fuzzy from last night's trip to the Students' Union. Cheap booze, Ronnie's jazz fags and Freshers... ah. That explained the dead arm. And the blonde head on the pillow beside him. She was lying across his arm. Christ, what was her name again? Anne? Andrea? Anna! Bingo. That's was it. Anna! Anna Whitaker. It was all coming back to him. Anna Whitaker, a Fresher with ...

This is especially so when the Treasury expects inflation to be 3.7%, leading to a cut in pay for an experienced nurse by over £200 in real terms. As others have called for, there is a need for a pay review for all public sector workers who have kept Wales safe throughout the pandemic. But where do Labour stand on this issue?

Shropshire Council looks to reopening of biodigester but employment land in Ludlow will remain scarc...
Shropshire Council today said that the biodigester facility on Coder Road could reopen but not for a while.

Munira Wilson is our Health & Social Care Spokesperson and here she is challenging the Government in the Commons BEFORE the pay rise was announced: The Govt bottled it today, failing to announce the highly anticipated pay rise for our amazing NHS staff Words and clapping are cheap.
