FAMILY PAY TRIBUTE TO WOMAN WHO DIED IN SHEFFIELD BAR SHOOTING

The family of a woman who was shot dead outside a bar in Sheffield during a night out over the bank holiday weekend have paid tribute to her.

Shanice Brooks, a 30-year-old mum of one, has been named by South Yorkshire Police as the victim of the shooting outside the One Four One bar during the early hours of Monday.

Shanice was working for a charity in the city and studying for a degree at university.

“Shanice had the biggest heart and the kind of energy you could never forget," said her family.

“She was a deeply loved daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, friend and godmother, as well as being an amazing mum to her son, who meant the world to her.

"To her cousins, she was more like a sister – someone they could always turn to for love, laughter and support.

“Shanice was also due to graduate from university, a reflection of her determination, ambition and the bright future ahead of her.

“She could light up every room she walked in to with her infectious laugh, beautiful soul and magical aura.

"Shanice made people feel loved, safe and valued simply by being herself.

“She was truly one of a kind and she will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know and love her."

RESIDENT DOCTORS IN ENGLAND TO STRIKE OVER PAY OVER FOUR DAYS IN JUNE

Residents doctors across England are to go on strike across four days in June as the long-running dispute over pay continues.

The walkout will run from Monday 15th to Friday 19th June and comes after a meeting between the British Medical Association and health secretary James Murray.

Over the last four years, resident doctors have been given pay rises worth 33%, which included a 3.5 rise in 2026.

Starting salaries for a resident doctor are more than £40,000, with some more senior doctors receiving £76.500.

However, the BMA says its members are being paid a fifth less than they were in 2008 when inflation is taken into account.

BMA resident doctors committee chair Jack Fletcher said: "We had hoped that a change in leadership at the Department of Health and Social Care would lead to a change in approach.

"Sadly we have run up against the same intransigence and vagueness we encountered under Mr Streeting.

"We were prepared to give Mr Murray time to settle into his role before completing the work his predecessor left unfinished – to both make a fair and meaningful pay offer and make concrete commitments to end the jobs bottleneck throttling the careers of our colleagues.

"He had a genuine opportunity to break this logjam with fresh energy and ambition.

"He has not taken it. Instead, we are hearing the same tired line: vagueness on new jobs and no further money on the table.

"We cannot be asked to negotiate in good faith for weeks, only to be told there is nothing left to negotiate about on pay and no further details to come on jobs."
