Memo to Sunak - our country can't wait until 'the second half of this year' for a general election, purely because you're terrified of a thumping defeat. Our economy is on its knees, public services have been decimated, the climate is in crisis - we need a general election NOW.

[Alan Shirley @ralanshirley]

As a NHS doctor who trained as a GP at the same time as you, but spent the 30 years since in general practice not politics, it makes me sad and angry to see the unethical and unforgivable damage your party has done to the NHS over the last 13 years

Succinct - Clear - Factual
We haven't got enough money to spend £1-£2bn a year paying Drs, but we can find £8bn a year to cut a tax that's only paid by the richest 4%
@BenKentish points out the flaw in the Govt’s claim that the UK can't afford a pay rise

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

MPs are in line to receive an above inflation pay rise of 7.1%

Yet the government didn’t think NHS staff deserved more than 5%, despite a decade of real terms pay cuts.

Please RT if you agree health workers deserve so much better.

Please Repost if you would like Paula Vennells, ex-CEO of the Post Office, to have the CBE that Boris Johnson awarded her to be returned.
Please Like if you would like those responsible in Fujitsu to be held accountable too.

Reading the headlines this morning, you would honestly think that junior doctors had created the longest NHS waiting lists in history.

They haven’t. The Conservative government has decimated our public healthcare system since 2010.

UK media is a disgrace 🚨🚨🚨

No more universal NHS dentistry is the clearest sign of the end of universal NHS healthcare. NHS as we know it won't make 100yrs. Insurance companies rubbing their hands together. @BBCWorld @bbchealth

@bbcstrictly Layton deserves to win, but sadly homphobia and racism is likely to prevail.

So happy to see Amy included as part of #SCD, other companies need to take note.

@StephLunch @PackedLunchC4 @Channel4 Bloody ridiculous, cancelling this programme.

[Julie Connolly💙 @ConmcjJulie]

@thismorning Public service, nurses, teachers etc, increases in pay, boost spending. Don't affect inflation. Emotional blackmail where nurses are concerned. @RochelleHumes

[NHS Nurses @SocialistNHS]

🚨 Eye patients are being forced to go private or go blind due to soaring NHS waiting lists

One woman had to pay £3,000 for emergency eye treatment or risk going blind due to three-week NHS wait

This is a dangerous path for our NHS, we must fight to keep #OurNHS 💙

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Every time I or my family need the NHS it comes up trumps. It’s not just the professionalism. It’s the carefulness and gentleness even when staff are under phenomenal pressure. Nobody will RT this because social media only validates click bait negativity. But thank you NHS. Xxx

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Come election day we should all remember just how far the Conservatives were willing to go to strip us of our human rights. None of this would be even conceivable without the implicit support of 360 Tory MPs.

Welfare cuts worth billions planned by Tory ministers

Tories - the party devoted to taking from the poor to give to the already rich.

Thoughts? https://t.co/YMZLcP2v1f

The average waiting time for NHS surgery is now three health secretaries

Nurse leaders were rarely the faces the public saw on their tv screens explaining the progress of the pandemic, but the nursing profession was leading the frontline response. https://t.co/ABcraxaXgA

EveryDoctor research has just revealed that there are 133 more private companies running NHS services compared to 2019 🚨🚨🚨

NHS privatisation is accelerating. If you oppose privatisation, please RT this 💙💙💙
