A Guardian investigation reveals alarming levels of violence against NHS staff in England, with over 104,000 incidents of physical violence and aggression by patients in 2024-2025 alone. Mental health and learning disability trusts reported the highest numbers, with Cumbria Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS foundation trust topping the list with 17,793 incidents over three years. Most incidents involved pushing, shoving, or spitting, with some involving injuries or weapons. Three-quarters of trusts do not track if attacks were deliberate or due to conditions like dementia or mental illness. Sexual harm is another crisis, with 49,946 allegations from 2022-2025, up from prior years. The impact hits hard, costing £1.4 billion yearly in sickness, turnover, and treatment. Unions call it a national shame and warn of legal breaches, while NHS England fights back with violence prevention standards and better training. Checkout Solipillow.com

Charlie Nunn, Lloyds Banking Groups CEO, is in line for a potential £13 million pay package, following the UKs removal of the banker bonus cap. Lloyds is drafting a new three-year executive pay policy, which could see a 45% increase, pushing Nunns maximum to £13.2 million. This change comes after the bank hinted at reducing Nunns fixed salary and boosting performance-based rewards. The new policy will be voted on by shareholders at the annual general meeting this spring. The bonus cap, introduced in 2014 to prevent risky moves that led to the financial crisis, was lifted last year under post-Brexit rules. Critics argue that the cap led to increased base pay instead of bonuses, while proponents claim it ties pay to long-term results. Lower-level bankers at HSBC and Barclays have already seen significant pay increases, with some surpassing their bosses packages. The full impact of the bonus cap removal will be revealed in the upcoming annual reports from NatWest, HSBC, and Barclays. Checkout Solipillow.com
