@BMA_JuniorDocs @andrewmeyerson Why is the Junior Doctor’s strike NOWHERE in the press? BMA Comms team also on strike? Come on BMA, step up & back us up.
@cannula_service @BMA_JuniorDocs I think ensuring the whole NHS system go down in flames is precisely what they have been doing and continue to do. They are ideologically and literally invested in private healthcare - only voters now waning love of the NHS stopped them tanking it faster.
@cannula_service @BMA_JuniorDocs *they* won’t have to *cope* with strikes - their families have private healthcare and they explicitly support private healthcare firms. There is no private tube system nor courts. Politicians feather their own nests. When we are politically useful to them, they will support us.
@cannula_service @BMA_JuniorDocs Actually public perception is vital to convince the Tories that treating us fairly is in their interest bc voters are on our side. The govt don’t give a hoot about nhs cover or safety, if they did they would have restored pay & solved workforce crisis years ago.
@Doctors_Vote Why the week after Easter when consultants / staff grade docs w kids take AL? It makes it tougher for them to support us in our strike. Bad timing / own goal - sort it out!
@VirtueOfNothing@clifford0584 @BMA_JuniorDocs She’s a gifted speaker and much better than many the BMA put forward - BMA comms should learn from her if they are serious about winning public hearts & minds (public opinion will push govt to negotiate, not facts or being right).
@Yemso @wesstreeting@UKLabour@DrRosena 💯 when we’ve been clinging on in hope Labour will save the nhs, being kicked even lower by Wes just makes me want to emigrate. Worst shadow health secretary ever. There will be no doctors left.
@Yemso @wesstreeting I’m a Labour Party member, doctor & patient. I feel personally attacked by Wes, on top of every knackering, understaffed shift. Is he trying to make Hancock look competent? What am I paying my Labour subs for?? What am I staying in this country for?🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@mancunianmedic@doctorrah Is there a group for doctors within the Labour Party? More power inside than out etc, empower Labour leadership that wants the NHS to succeed in the real world not leadership who offer vindictive, magical solutions to folk who thought Kwarteng’s budget was reality-based.
@wesstreeting As a doctor and a Labour Party member, I am speechless at this dog-whistle scapegoating which will do nothing to improve patient care, which depends on adequate provision of skilled staffing. Without staff the NHS is a load of empty buildings.
Look, I sympathise with the CLIMATE's message, but not the counterproductive way it's going about it. Why can't the CLIMATE write to MPs, or set up its own political party, instead of disrupting the lives of normal people? No one's going to be won over by these shock tactics.
