We have to be clear what people are now demanding. Not the right to free speech. But the right to lie. The right to spread malicious information that could impede an ongoing murder investigation. The right to incite people to riot. And they should just admit it.
Also I'm sorry but I'm officially over this 'they're just unhappy citizens who've been ignored for too long'. No, they're the kind of men who do a tonne of gak at the football and then come home and hit their partners. They don't care about politics, they're just plain thugs.
This offer is not FPR, but it’s also not instead of it.
The question it poses is one of strategy on how best to secure FPR:
Accept, bank these initial gains, use the next 9 months to reorganise and win back doctors lost to strike fatigue.
OR
Reject, and carry on as we are.
Having had a look at the pay offer and the table breaking down what it will mean in take home pay…
Is it ideal? No. We would love to get the 35% + exam fees etc.
Looking at the country’s finance and rest of public sector is it realistically pretty good? Yes. I’d take it.
The absolute essence of Corbynism - being a nuisance, not doing the hard work of governing. It's quintessential comfort zone politics. Choosing powerlessness means never having to compromise. It's the ultimate self-indulgence.
I’ve really enjoyed receiving hundreds of messages from local residents since 4th July, but can I remind them, including Ms Truss, that should they wish for their Member of Parliament for South West Norfolk to be aware of their views, they need to go through the office
We’re having a great time at #ASME2024!! This is a huge UK wide conference all about #meded. It’s been great to learn from & network with so many colleagues!

Last week we had a great time on our Access Into Medicine (AIM) course!
60 Year 11 and 12 pupils from local schools came to find out more about careers in medicine and healthcare professions. They got to speak to our doctors and nurses, and got hands-on BLS and clinical skills!
Labour won over 400 seats in the General Election, including in many areas with a high Muslim population.
Just recently @Keir_Starmer has called for a ceasefire in Gaza, is looking into restoring funding to UNRWA and has dropped the challenge to the ICC.
As a party, we do need to reflect on the results - and work on building support and trust with British Muslims many of whom didn't vote for us.
But it's clear that @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour care deeply about our Muslim Communities and it's incredibly disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
In the three days it has taken to come up with this list:
- the onshore wind ban has already been lifted;
- the new health secretary has already begun talks with the BMA;
- the new Green MP for Waveney Valley has come out against net zero infrastructure.
In two days the govt have cancelled the Rwanda scheme, confirmed rail nationalisation, told Netanyahu they support a ceasefire + statehood, appointed a prison reformer prisons minister and a pro-Palestine activist AG. And the left is desperate to chalk it up as a defeat
I met with the newly appointed Secretary of State for Defence of the United Kingdom. We discussed the implementation of the security agreement and the preparation of a future 100-year cooperation agreement between Ukraine and the UK.
Our defense cooperation enables Ukrainian warriors to effectively defend against the aggressor both at sea and on land, particularly with the help of long-range weapons.
I thank the United Kingdom for its strong support of our country during this time of war.
Labour's new Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy using one of his first interventions to speak about Gaza, including:
👉Immediate ceasefire
👉Release of hostages
👉Unfettered aid
👉Two state solution
LFPME has called for these since October and welcomes them now being UK Govt policy
