It has been 19 months since Michelle Mone was ordered to pay back £232,000,000, she hasn't paid back a penny, and is still a Lord despite not appearing in 2 years.
It is time for her to pay, and for her Lordship to be rescinded.
Great that resident doctor pay negotiations have started. But with the current proposal:
Doctor starting salary: £36,000
PA starting salary: £46,000
NO doctor should be paid less than their assistant! It makes no sense whatsoever & is an insult.
Must watch
Steve Reed tears about 14 years of Conservative rule
He then explains why countryside voters have abandoned the Conservative party for the Labour party @SteveReedMP
It's a long, nearly 9 minute watch, but it is glorious
All of you leaders who have sold PAs a false hope, a career which isn’t plausible…
Should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves
Your personal hubris & desire to be ‘famous’ has resulted in many folks left wondering “what’s next”
What a mess you have all created
Shameful
Why is this not controversial…
🚑 Only paramedics should work as paramedics
💉Only nurses should work as nurses
💊Only pharmacists should work as pharmacists
🦿Only physiotherapists should work as physiotherapists
Yet this IS..
🩺 Only doctors should work as doctors
Our roles are NOT interchangeable
The only way to work as a doctor is to go to medical school. Period.
Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.
Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.
Drs regulator GMC is paid for by doctors annual subs of £455.The GMC is opening up regulation to non doctors who are being used to replace doctors!GMC can suspend or strike doctors of the register. They use private medical insurance and invest our money#defund @gmcuk@TheBMA VONC
I’m standing in a queue in a pharmacy right now, waiting for a prescription. It’s taking far too long (30 minutes so far). Why?
Because there are people approaching the counter constantly with health problems that require an A and E or a GP. The tories have broken the NHS 🚨
🚨 Doctors & medical students 🚨
We must make a collective stand to STOP doctors being substituted by PAs
I’ve just signed this BMA letter calling for:
✅ Implementation of a national safe scope of practice for MAPs
✅ MAPs are regulated by a more suitable regulator using titles that protect patients from being misled
✅ An end to widespread doctor replacement & unemployment
✅ An urgent review of the long-term workforce plan to determine how MAPs can be safely utilised to the benefit of patients & healthcare systems
✅ A halt to any current plans to provide MAPs with prescribing responsibilities
✅ An independent inquiry to determine how widespread doctor substitution has become, and how this scandal has been allowed to develop without sufficient regard for patient safety.
A country should be stable enough to withstand a corrupt government
Ministers should not have the power to cripple a health service, public broadcasters, sewage systems, education and justice systems
It should not be possible to wipe out centuries of progress in one parliament!
Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty's fortune has increased by £121m, meanwhile Rishi Sunak paid £0.5m tax.
A tax rate of 0.4%, while your tax rate is 37% 92.5x higher.
These are the benefit thieves.
Fifteen years. Five prime ministers, seven chancellors, eight foreign secretaries, twelve culture secretaries and sixteen housing ministers.
A thread, for #RantyTuesday.
