A thought provoking thread that’s worth a couple of minutes of your time:

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Please retweet the full video far and wide. It is even worse than the edited version that Braverman wants removed because she claims it lacks context.

[Otto Von Jizzmark @Ottojizzmark]

GREAT NEWS
My campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this clip and causing any upset to Suella Braverman has made great progress I am now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @SuellaBraverman so she can see how well we're doing.
Thank you.

The government is trying to get us to take this video down.

They'd hate it for you to RT

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.

Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.

Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
