Frances O'Grady: Key workers don't need applause - they need better pay and conditions
Everyone who works for a living ought to earn a decent living. I shouldn't need to say this.
But new Living Wage Foundation research published today shows that 5.5 million employees – that’s a fifth of employees in the UK – are paid less than a “Real” Living Wage.
That means many of our key workers – like our supermarket staff, carers and delivery drivers – are earning below what’s needed to cover the cost of living.
This is a national scandal.
Key workers are the ones getting us through this crisis.

As we mark national Living Wage Week, let’s be clear that things need to change.

The Prime Minister promised to ‘level up’ the country. Well, he must first start by ‘levelling up’ workers’ pay and rights at work.
Dignity at work should be at the heart of our society – and that means making sure everyone can earn decent wages they can build a life on.
There are two immediate things the Government must do.
First, directly increase the pay of six million key workers by boosting the minimum wage and public sector pay.

Voice of the Mirror: Boris Johnson is grateful to NHS workers but they need a pay rise
Exhausted health heroes quitting in large numbers would be a disaster.
Warnings today by leaders of more than a million workers that many have been pushed close to breaking point by the second wave of coronavirus demand decisive action.
We’re sick and tired of hollow praise from this hollow Prime Minister and his ministers.
Our poorly paid medics need pay rises.
Boris Johnson is undeniably grateful to the hospital doctors, nurses and others who helped him survive a bout of Covid-19.

Yet he has consistently failed to look after the very people he stood to applaud.
Actions speak much louder than words.
Unless the Government plays fair and pays fair, and finds a way to reduce stress on frontline workers, the staffing crisis will accelerate.
Marcus Rashford scored again by shaming the Prime Minister into feeding poorer pupils in England in school holidays, just as they get fed in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Bi-Bi, big baby
Triumphant but never triumphalist, dignified Joe Biden’s fresh start for America is obstructed by Donald Trump lying and cheating to the bitter end.
We aren’t surprised a President who was a bad winner is now a worse loser, claiming to have won when everyone knows he lost.
His defeat is a victory in the fight against the forces of darkness but we should be under no illusions: Britain is unable to turn a page as long as Boris Johnson stays in No10.
The Prime Minister backed the wrong horse in Trump. We’ll continue suffering the consequences of his losing gamble until he goes too.
Quiet dignity
People's private respect to Remembrance Sunday on doorsteps all over Britain was deeply moving.
United in quiet dignity, we found a way to honour the fallen despite a pandemic’s ravages.
Yesterday we saw our country at its finest.

Hospitals told 'Covid-19 vaccine may be ready in weeks' with care homes first in line
Hospitals have been told to get ready for a Covid-19 vaccine before the end of this month, according to a new report.
After rumours vaccines could be ready within weeks, it is thought the NHS may be able to give coronavirus jabs to the most vulnerable people in society before Christmas.
The Head of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Jon Findlay is believed to have said in a meeting with senior managers and executives that the vaccine could be ready in as little as three weeks time.

The belief is that the vaccine will be given in two doses with three to four weeks between each dose, and it cannot be given to anyone who has had the flu vaccine within seven days, so they would need to wait.

Back in 2010, Gillian 'fainted' when she was nominated for her seventh I'm A Celebrity trial in a row - and looking back at some of their favourite moments, cheeky Ant and Dec couldn't help but laugh
Ant and Dec called Gillian McKeith's 'fainting' episode of I'm A Celebrity one of the most bizarre moments of their career.
It's ten years since the TV star was overcome and fell to the ground after being nominated for yet another Bushtucker Trial, this time live.
The Scot found herself in a tizzy when she was nominated for her seventh trial in a row.
The double-act held it together as the camp-mate received medical attention.
Now Ant and Dec have recalled the moment Gillian hit the floor as they watched back some classic moments on Sunday's teaser show.
"And she's gone!" laughed Ant, as she fell.
They then watched on as doctors ran around her, applying an oxygen mask.
The worried hosts then say they should go to a break while they "see if she can continue".
The pair both laughed, before Ant made a quip about her being on the floor.
"You're all heart you," giggles Dec.
Ant then added: "That was a very bizarre moment in our TV career."
Of course Gillian recovered and it's one of the show's most talked-about moments.
But viewers were fuming back when they "wasted" their money nominating her for the trial.

Hakim Ziyech is already proving his worth at Chelsea following his summer move from Ajax with Blues team-mate Mason Mount hugely impressed with the winger
A left foot sweeter than a dessert trolley is turning Frank Lampard’s set-piece lightweights into big hitters.
Hakim Ziyech lit up Stamford Bridge yesterday as Chelsea brushed aside Sheffield United.
Already Chelsea have produced 14 different scorers this season, and trying to stop them is proving difficult.
And don’t whisper it quietly when shouting from the rooftops is an option – Chelsea are genuine title contenders.
Everyone prattles on about their lack of clean sheets, but at least they haven’t been walloped for seven at Aston Villa, shipped six at home to Tottenham or copped a bunch of fives from Leicester.
When owner Roman Abramovich finds £250 million down the back of the sofa to fund a transfer trolley dash, he expects more than window dressing for his investment.

Ziyech produced a masterclass against wooden spoonists Sheffield United, providing assists for Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva’s goals.
And nobody has created more chances in a single Premier League game than the six opportunities Lampard’s Moroccan maestro laid on a plate for his team-mates here.
Chelsea have scored at least three goals in all four games Ziyech has started since injury delayed his admission to the side.
England midfielder Mason Mount gushed: “He’s a brilliant player. He knows what he can bring to the team with his quality left foot.

“This season we’ve definitely worked on that and it’s been working and to have that many scorers gives us a different dimension to our game and teams definitely fear us more.”
Ziyech’s dead-ball delivery and his eye for the killer pass are both top-notch and, at £37 million, Blues manager Lampard has pulled a fast one on his top-four rivals.
He said: “There are some great left-footed players in the Premier League including Gareth Bale, one of the best players in world football, and we always think of the sweet left foot as a culture.
“Hakim has brought a different element to our game, but I don’t just want to lean on that because his work ethic off the ball makes him a very complete player.

“He exudes confidence, how much he wants the ball, and he wants to be the important player who makes the assist, and that has been a big plus.”
Chelsea recovered from the shock of David McGoldrick’s early goal for the Blades, who were lucky not to suffer heavier reprisals than the replies from Tammy Abraham, Chilwell, Silva and Timo Werner.
