After years of real term wage cuts 3% is not a pay rise, it's an insult to NHS staff who have worked tirelessly and sacrificed so much to protect our communities @WalesGreenParty fully supports @NurseSayNO campaigners in Wales calling for 15%. #NHSPay15

NHS workers in Wales to get 3% pay rise

One union describes the offer as "bitterly disappointing" compared to the 12.5% it had demanded.

Welcome news and the right decision. This could have, and should have been decided over the weekend as called for by the unions. Teachers, staff and parents have suffered unnecessary days of uncertainty and worry.

Two different stories, but recent news from both Westminster and Cardiff Bay highlights the toxic effect that a culture of 'eye wateringly' large donations to parties and politicians has on every level of government in the UK. It is time to take big money out of our politics.

An understandable decision from Plaid, and the right one following the shambolic behaviour of the new Welsh Labour administration over recent weeks. Also highlights the desperate need for new voices and meaningful scrutiny in the Senedd. Wales deserves better.
