So much techno-utopianism about AI, particularly from @InstituteGC, in recent months.

Even the tiniest amount of experience of delivering digital/data/AI systems in the public sector would reveal it's a bit more complicated than that.

🧵 Ten challenges that need to be tackled

🤔 What do water balloons and the gut have in common? They’re both tubes at risk of obstruction! ⚠️

📢 Motilent is entering the Fistula space (sort of literally)...

Stay tuned to find out what we'll be doing but first, some background.

Big thank you to @drgauraang for proving a radiologist's perspective.

Lots of people have preconceived ideas about what working in a university must be like.

Here, UCU member Chris has a message about the reality of it for far too many staff.

Share the video.

Support the strike.

Join us in demanding change.

#ucuRISING

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

It’s not just Nadhim Zahawi.

£570,000,000,000 is held by Britain’s super-rich in offshore tax havens.

£18,500,000,000 is lost in tax every year through these schemes.

£3,200,000,000 is avoided yearly by non-doms like the PM’s wife.

It’s time to end the scam.

#EnoughlsEnough

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

Feb 1st:

300,000 teachers
100,000 civil servants
70,000 university workers
12,000 rail workers

Feb 6th:

100,000 nurses
25,000 paramedics

The biggest wave of co-ordinated strike action in decades.

RT if you’re behind our workers 👊

#EnoughIsEnough

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

Thousands of nurses are on strike today. Why?

📉 Real pay down £5,000 since 2010

⚡ 1 in 3 have difficulty affording food and heating their homes

👩‍⚕️ 50,000 nurse shortfall in England

🏥 1 in 9 nurses left the NHS in 2021

RT if you support our nurses 👊

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

The cost of meeting the nurses' pay demand - £1.6bn 🏥

Cost of Sunak's bank tax giveaway - £7.3bn 💸

They have the money to give nurses a proper pay rise- they just don't want to.

RT if you back a real pay rise for our nurses 👊
