I'm a doctor and I've seen racism against NHS staff increasing

“It seems like there is such an increase in events like this - with people of colour feeling unsafe coming to the workplace, which is about nurturing, caring for and nourishing the general public”, says *A, an NHS doctor in the north of England. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 She says she has seen racist incidents targeted at her colleagues, and herself, rising – and she’s not alone. Earlier this month, the health secretary and the NHS England chief warned that an “ugly” racism reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s has become worryingly commonplace again in modern Britain and NHS staff, 30% of whom are from a minority ethnic background, according to the healthcare service in England, are bearing the brunt of it. “It’s shocking to see the levels of racism within our communities and across modern Britain today – levels that we have not witnessed for decades. We know our NHS is not immune from this scourge because it is a microcosm of wider society”, said Prof Habib Naqvi, the chief executive of the NHS Race and Health Observatory. As patients are warned of long waiting times and understaffing this winter, *A says she understands that “everyone is feeling a little bit let down”. “It affects us just as much as it affects you because we want to be able to provide a better system,” she says. “[But] I think that nobody works in the NHS unless they care … and that’s something really important to consider when accessing the public health service.” Watch to find out more about *A’s experiences, what she thinks should change – and head to the link in bio to read more amid warning of winter pressures and rising levels of abuse. *A’s name has been withheld at her request.

'Poverty is exploding': Why these millionaires are asking to be taxed more

Do you think millionaires should pay more tax? Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 On a cold and rainy day, outside the Houses of Parliament, the group Patriotic Millionaires gathered by a bus splashed with the words ‘Tax us, the super-rich’. Their campaign is aimed at getting the government to increase taxes for the super-rich ahead of the upcoming budget. “This is the only way to stop the cost of living crisis“ said economist and YouTuber @garyseconomics, who says the low tax burden on the wealthy is helping fuel the problem of growing inequality in the UK. “What I would like us to have is an honest and open conversation about how do you tax the rich more fairly in a way that is effective”, he says. The gap between the richest and poorest 10% in the UK is now the highest in the developed world, apart from the US, according to a report by the Fairness Foundation. Since 2020, at least one local public service or facility has been shut down every three days because of budget cuts, according to recently published research from Patriotic Millionaires obtained by freedom of information requests to councils across the UK “We are literally at the point where our services are starting to break down””said firefighter Gavin Lynch, who came to support the campaign. “So one of the most feasible ways of supporting our public services is by getting the rich to pay more because they've got broader shoulders.”
