@SunderlandAFC Just give him the ballon d'or already

@ValsparPaintUK I painted a room in Valspar Trade vinyl matt (colour: Gritty) last week and I'm very disappointed with the durability. A light touch or brush with clothing causes a scuff mark. Seems a defective product. How can this be remedied?

@Vix_turnock @anaecritmed Congratulations to both of you! 🎉

@BBCFergusWalsh A sustainable NHS is incompatible with private provision.

When you bring profit-making and the imperative for year-on-year growth into a public service, ballooning costs are inevitable.

We need a fully publicly provided NHS, in which we get out what we put in.

[Dr Adam G-L 🦀 @AdamGL]

@keepnhspublic @guardian Private companies are impelled to take out more than they put in, otherwise they go bust.

They also need to extract more profit every year in order to grow and appease their shareholders.

This is quite obviously a recipe for the end of the NHS.

What a load of rubbish.

What's demeaning is being paid a third less for the same job, then being told by members of the political class who screwed everything up that you are "wrong".

[Stephen Thornton @Thornton_health]

Am I alone in thinking it is wrong for consultants to strike? Nurses, paramedics, junior doctors, yes, they are just ‘workers’ but consultants are senior leaders, just like senior managers. They demean themselves by striking.

@ShaunLintern @RNAppleby @DrLKVaughan They are very clearly misleading.

Many of us suspect that is deliberate.

[Dr Adam G-L 🦀 @AdamGL]

@ShaunLintern The NHS data suck, Shaun.

For example, when it comes to average junior doctor pay, they include extracontractual work.

It's almost as though it's designed to be reported in such a way...

[Dr Tony O’Sullivan @DrTonyOSullivan]

ISS shame on you

What do we want? Pay rise!
30p No! No! No!

We refuse to be poorer!

@SteveBarclay It still takes longer than 15 minutes to get to 10% of people in cardiac arrest? 😱

[Dr Adam G-L 🦀 @AdamGL]

@ShaunLintern @SteveBarclay @BMA_JuniorDocs You've been fair in your coverage Shaun, not meant as a personal dig.

I just doubt that would have come from the JD side because it makes no sense.

I must say the idea that Steve Barclay didn't prevent two strikes because he didn't like the "aggressive tone" is pretty funny.

This is how the UK govt is perceived in the US

If pay goes down, pensions go down.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No wonder jnr doctors & nurses don’t feel valued. Not everyone is “feeling poor”equally @bankofengland . What gvmnt has done to their pay 👇 is an absolute disgrace

RT if u think @SteveBarclay @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak should #PayRestoration & save our NHS

[Dr Adam G-L 🦀 @AdamGL]

@ShaunLintern @trentconsultant Often firms will cover these costs rather than the individual worker (e.g. in law)

Massive shout out to the brave woman who rescued a person who collapsed and fell onto the tube tracks at Gloucester Road this evening.

Your quick thinking saved a life tonight.

@bykatewomersley This figure includes student loans!

RPI + 3% is an incredible ROI. Many doctors will pay back ~£250,000 over the course of their careers.

Also, we all know the £33k stipend to NHS trusts is just an unofficial funding stream. Only a fraction is spent on Med Ed.

[Dr Adam G-L 🦀 @AdamGL]

@Dr_JSA I think perhaps you misunderstand me.

The way certain people have conducted themselves in the public domain has been inappropriate and incompetent.

The press have linked that to FPR and will continue to do so.

The best thing we can do is learn from it, do better, and move on.
