      Nurses in Britain went on strike for the second time this month on Tuesday, and their union threatened to escalate a dispute over pay by setting out further strike days if the government does not respond to its demands within 48 hours.

      The industrial action by up to 100,000 nurses is unprecedented in the British nursing union’s 106-year history, but it says it has no choice as workers struggle to make ends meet with inflation running at more than 10%.

      Nurses staged the first-ever nationwide walkout on December 15 affecting services at 76 hospitals and cancelling an estimated 70,000 appointments.
