Dua Lipa used her acceptance speech at the Brit Awards to call for a NHS pay rise, prompting Cabinet minister George Eustice to stress there is a “difficult public finance environment”.
The 25-year-old former Parliament Hill School pupil was the big winner at the female-dominated Brit Awards last night (May 11), which marked the return of live music to the O2 Arena after more than one year.
The singer and songwriter won both the best female solo artist and the coveted best album award, and in her first speech she called for a pay rise for NHS workers.
