I joined what was Twitter a few years ago for professional reasons. I saw it as good way of keeping up to date with areas of professional interest to me.
However I have decided to come off ‘X’ as I cannot abide the lies, unkindness and cruelty that is on here. Life is too short.

I don't want lower taxes.

I want hospital beds.

Trains that run on time.

Kids who aren't too hungry to learn.

Libraries in every town.

Rivers that don't run with slurry.

Local councils not forced into bankruptcy.

Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.

@RevdCaptKatie That is disgusting. So sorry that you had to go through that. Thinking of you.

[Maggie Fisher @fisher_maggie]

Rising infant mortality linked to poverty and declining health. Interesting correlation as the number of health visitors & school nurses plummet so does the health of children with predictable increases in the childhood mortality rate!

What greater example of how much the role of the Health Visitors has disappeared when it doesn't warrant any mention in a discussion about the poor health of children under 5 years of age.

Just look at the STATE of our children’s health in the 5/6th richest country in the 🌎!
Today’s real term cuts in Public health grant will only serve to worsen this. This is about poor ?ignorant decision making.We MUST change this? @WeSchoolNurses @iHealthVisiting @andrealeadsom

@DrBalsamAhmad That must have been so hard for you to do Balsam. It was very thought provoking. Always hard when you are a health professional to be on ‘the other side.’ Well done.

James Cleverly - the current Home Secretary claims the public want the Rwanda plan.

Please RT after voting - thank you.

Please follow and RT if you won’t be voting for the Conservatives at the next general election.

We need help to raise awareness of the damage they have done to our NHS so that our health service can finally begin to recover.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Still reeling from this horrific evidence from Prof John Edmunds at the Covid Inquiry yesterday.

In refusing to lockdown in autumn 2020, Boris Johnson was responsible for up to 25,000 Covid deaths by ignoring the experts & evidence.

It’s sickening 😔

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

There will be more spin than ever of the coming months.

But we must never forget who broke our NHS.

Please RT if you agree.

If you know that Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives are responsible for the NHS waiting list - Like.

If you support our NHS Doctors and Nurses and want it properly funded and protected - RT

Great piece by @pollytoynbee
“He bangs his head at thinking what that money could do, considering the depletion in trusted school nurses or health visitors. Meg Hillier MP, of the public accounts committee, put it at an “unimaginable” £22bn”👇

All over Paris car parking spaces are being upgraded to plots for trees and micro gardens - cooling the city, cleaning the air & making the streets more pleasant for people - thanks to the vision & tenacity of city's mayor...
