‘If somebody asks you (to fill in a form) you tell them to ring up the Prime Minister & I will direct them to throw that form in the bin’ @BorisJohnson

Why is this barefaced lie not being shown on every UK news channel?!

[LIPS Healthcare @lipshealthcare]

We are pleased to announce that our services are still available amongst the COVID-19 second lockdown; our consultants are still offering remote, face-to-face appointments and surgeries across all our partner hospitals and clinics.

@NHSBartsHealth have opened up our elective orthopaedic services in our specialist Barts Health orthopaedic centre (BHOC) and are quickly scaling services back up in a Covid free, protected unit. @NewhamHospital #Orthopedic #jointreplacement @BritOrthopaedic

Our modelling analysis suggests that ~750,000 operations may have already been postponed in @NHSEngland due to COVID-19, which could increase to ~2.2 million by March 2021 as elective surgery is gradually reintroduced https://t.co/hqc5g4XUT8… (Pre-print. Not yet peer-reviewed).

We have worked towards this over a long time and I look forward to the orthopaedic academic dept growing as well as working with our newly appointed Prof @xlgriffin

[Barts Health @NHSBartsHealth]

Barts Charity have given £2.9 million to establish a new centre of excellence for academic trauma and orthopaedic surgery.

Listening to this bilge from Cummings is unbelievable. Why is he been given this platform of a National TV statement? He is a special advisor and this breaks their code of conduct as well as all the other rules/laws! He is the story and that undermines the whole national effort!

[Steven Millington #OperationLive @samillington1]

This tweet is being officially investigated but Cummings affair not being investigated, more double standards!

Unfortunately we’ve lost quite a few followers today because we condemned Dominic Cumming’s actions.

But for us, the health of our colleagues and the population they serve is more important than anything else.

So please RT and follow if you remain right behind us.

Thank you x

This thread shines a light on hidden agendas that are going on during the Covid Pandemic

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Why does the Cummings story matter? And what does it obscure? The real story is the huge transfer of government assets to private companies that he is overseeing under cover of a pandemic while restructuring the Cabinet Office into his & @michaelgove's private fiefdom

[Steven Millington #OperationLive @samillington1]

What a hypocrite! Chief Medical Officer of Scotland resigned, scientific advisor resigned. Mr Cummings was +ve and travelled 260 miles but that is reasonable? It is clear what Mr Johnson really values😔. Makes politics look worse than it already did. https://t.co/AQQCSSH1vR

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

We can’t possibly be this ungrateful and thoughtless, surely?

[Robert Peston @Peston]

There is a terrible and unfair anomaly here. When I asked ⁦@MattHancock⁩ whether bereaved families of all migrant workers on #Covid_19 frontline would have parity with non migrants and get financial compensation, he said they would. So why is Home Office...

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

What you’ve also done, @pritipatel , is to end freedom of movement for UK passport holders across our continent. The citizens of 27 other countries, the great majority of Europeans, still retain it. That’s not something to fly our flag over in my book.

Latest: COVIDSurg Collaborative publishes paper on elective surgery cancellations due to COVID‐19 - https://t.co/soLrGhSaJG

[Steven Millington #OperationLive @samillington1]

Food for thought as we are planning how to restart elective surgery.

[Charlotte Rutter (& on BlueSky) @Charl0tteRutter]

In 🇬🇧
🦠 516,000 cancelled surgeries
🚫36,000 cancer surgeries
➡️11 months to catch up needing extra 20% activity
💷 £2billion

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Avoid public transport if you can, advises the government.
Increase the congestion charge for drivers in London, orders the same government.

It's almost as if they're prioritising political point-scoring over public health. Again.

[Brian Moore @brianmoore666]

To be fair, how could a PM sacked twice for lying, who appointed a Home Sec sacked for lying and an Education Minister sacked for lying, possibly withdraw the whip from Dorries, Caulfield and Allen for lying?
