Pat Cullen says ministers refuse to discuss pay after health minister Maria Caulfield rejected this claim in earlier interviews

, a health minister, was the government’s designated voice on the morning interview programmes. She did not have anything new to announce, but she hit back at claims that ministers were unwilling to talk to the unions. She told the Today programme:

What I would say … to the RCN, as [is] happening in Scotland, they’ve called off the strikes to discuss the forthcoming year’s pay settlement from April, which is just a few weeks away – do the same in England. The secretary of state’s been meeting in January, almost on a weekly basis, with a range of health care unions. So the door is firmly open. And I would ask the RCN and the ambulance unions to get back round the table.11.30am:Keir Starmer and Jonathan Reynolds, the shadow business secretary, are on a visit in Bristol. Starmer is expected to record a TV interview.Peers debate the retained EU law bill.I’ll try to monitor the comments below the line but it is impossible to read them all.

‘Hypocrite’: Andrew Bogut blasts Pat Cummins for keeping energy sponsor moneyFormer NBA championship player Andrew Bogut has slammed Australian Test captain Pat Cummins as a “hypocrite” for keeping sponsorship money from an energy company which uses fossil fuels. Cummins refuted claims that his opinion on environmental issues cost Cricket Australia a $40 million sponsorship deal with Alinta Energy. Mr Bogut admitted that he had sponsors he did not agree with but said he never turned around and told people not to use the product due to its harm to the environment. “Donate that money back, Cummins, then I will listen to you,” he said. Fair call. Why don't these people just kick or dribble a ball instead of using their 'platform' to make this a better world? Virtue signalling clown. Why doesn’t he publicly come out and say he would rather use Russian oil then Australia’s own energy reserves. These people are so out of touch and have no clue how to run an economy. Australia’s footprint is minute compared to China.
