Hard left activist Holly Turner reveals leftwing plot to a halt
The leader of a hard left campaign group behind efforts to scupper the proposed NHS pay deal called for all public sector workers to strike bringing the country to a halt. Footage has emerged of Holly Turner, the Jeremy Corbyn-supporting leader of NHS Workers Say No, speaking at an event entitled Women at the Forefront – resisting the Tory Offensive last year.
During her speech Ms Turner, a nurse, called for all public sector workers to co-ordinate strike action in their campaign against the government.
She explained her colleagues had been “inspired” by militant strikers on the train network with the RMT union and postal workers in the Communication Workers Union.
Ms Turner argued, that “colleagues across the public sector” needed to “work in solidarity to apply pressure to the government”.
She added: “All of NHS Workers Say No offer unconditional solidarity to our sisters and brothers in their industrial struggles and we will not be divided.”
Turner then closed her remarks with “Solidarity.”
Elsewhere, Turner has gone further suggesting that hard-left campaigners should seek to bring the country to a halt with a general strike.
She is now campaigning against the pay deal that Unions and government agreed which would now mean a newly qualified nurse will see their salary go up by more than £2,750 over two years from 2021/2022 to 2023/2024.
On top of this, they will also receive more than £1,890 in one-off payments this year.
A Conservative source close to Health Secretary Steve Barclay said: “Hard-left campaigners like this simply don’t represent ordinary hardworking people.
“The government and unions have been working together to find a fair and reasonable settlement to industrial action – whilst groups like this have been shouting from the side-lines as part of their ideologically fuelled campaigning.”
NHS Workers Say No is part of an ‘alliance’ of organisations that also includes the extremist organisation Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter, Don’t Pay UK and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
Together, they are demanding systemic change to tackle the interconnected crises of climate, cost of living, and politics.
NHS Workers Say No alliance was co-founded by Ms Turner, who works as a children’s mental health nuse at Colchester Hospital, and supported by Harry Eccles and Jeremy Corbyn.
The video was revealed on the day when the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee agreed to banning Mr Corbyn from standing as a Labour candidate.
