Very positive @wesstreeting , good to see

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

I have spoken to the BMA junior doctors committee, and can announce that talks to end their industrial action will begin next week.

We promised to get negotiations up and running and that is what we are doing.

A very helpful and nuanced (exit X/Twitter character limit) discussion about the risks and benefits of antidepressant use and de-use in healthcare today #RCPsychIC

[Chuma Ntephe @ChumaNtephe]

Topping off an inspirational first day of #RCPsychIC, I am looking forward to the rest of the week #ChoosePsychiatry

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

Don't ever stop sharing this video.

The Tories have ruined this country.

RUINED it.

All the while lining the pockets of themselves and their mates.

Amazing coverage of the LoT movement in the @guardian this weekend!
Let's make sharing/ renting better than buying from Amazon– more affordable, convenient, socially-rewarding & kinder to the planet 🌍 💪

Make no mistake: the Tories’ introduction of photo ID is designed to stop younger and historically marginalised people from voting. Do not let them.

This Thursday:

🚨 You need to show photo ID at the polling station

🚨 You can only vote once - there is no second preference

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

NEW: This week’s tube strikes have now been suspended.

Londoners and visitors to our city will no longer face several days of disruption.

This shows what can be achieved by engaging with trade unions and transport staff rather then working against them.

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

From 7am, we strike again.

Tag @BMA_JuniorDocs in all your posts and we'll keep sharing! 📸

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Reports of military incursion into Al-Shifa hospital are deeply concerning.

We’ve lost touch again with health personnel at the hospital.

We’re extremely worried for their and their patients’ safety.

[David Cameron @David_Cameron]

Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband: https://t.co/fmhcfTunbm

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Black people are five times more likely to be detained under the Mental Health Act.

The Tories have scrapped a once in a generation opportunity to tackle this burning injustice.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough.
This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

[Chuma Ntephe @ChumaNtephe]

Stunning

🚨 Boris Johnson told senior advisers he was “no longer buying” the fact the NHS was overwhelmed during the Covid pandemic and the virus was “just nature’s way of dealing with old people”, documents released to Covid inquiry show.
