. @bt_uk I have experienced a long sequence of incompetence from BT in many failed attempts to start my broadband service. You started charging me a few weeks ago, but it was never installed. Someone was supposed to call last Monday to organise compensation. Can you help?

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear @Telegraph & @DailyMailUK,

For the last 13 years, you have enabled the Tories' devastating assault on our healthcare, serving as lead cheerleaders for policies that have harmed our patients, our colleagues, and our NHS. You have poisoned the country's minds for far too long, and now that you are attacking our colleagues, we've had enough.

2/3 of the public still firmly support us striking NHS workers — not the corrupt govt you so readily defend — and now that you are losing the battle of public opinion, you are desperately going after my colleagues to find any way to smear us. We're not going to tolerate it any longer.

While successive Tory governments dismantled and destroyed NHS services, you did your job of manufacturing consent for their harmful policies from Austerity 1.0 and 2.0 to the 2012 and 2022 health care bills — pieces of legislation that faced near universal opposition from health experts and all of the Royal Colleges — and you enabled those policies to succeed, because what you do isn't journalism for the public good, it's propaganda for the government's wealthy friends.

You then manufacture outrage with myths about NHS managers, immigrants, and NHS funding, never questioning those in govt who intentionally defunded and dismantled the formerly #1 ranked healthcare system of this great country in order to drive more people into private healthcare.

Alongside Tory govt ministers, your publications bear significant responsibility for the NHS crisis we now face. With your cheerleading, patients are now suffering on the longest GP, A&E, cancer, and outpatient waiting lists in NHS history at 7.4 million people long. 500 patients are now dying every single week due to preventable delays accessing NHS emergency care — with over 13,000 dead patients thus far in 2023 alone — all because of Tory policy failures that you championed and you enabled.

We are now suffering through the worst crisis in NHS history — one that your newspapers helped engineer — and because you are so morally bankrupt, even with alarming staff suicide rates, your editors think it's okay to attack my burnt out frontline NHS colleagues, defending billionaires instead of doing real reporting that is in the public interest of our patients.

You could elucidate to your readers why those 13,000 people are dead, or where the billions stolen from the public purse during COVID can be found, or how no one can see an NHS dentist, or how our mental health crisis has let down a generation of children and families, or how the govt still hasn't fixed the broken social care system, or you could investigate how many A&E departments have been closed in the last decade, or how many beds have been shut, or you could look at how much NHS funding goes into the pockets of private companies and never reaches patients, or how govt policy in a dozen other areas has harmed public health, but no, you choose to attack my friend Holly and our colleagues to try and find any way to discredit us.

Holly Turner has more integrity in her little toe than you've got among your entire staff — and certainly among your editorial boards — and we won't sit by and watch as you attack her for sport.

And so to the editors of the Telegraph and Daily Mail: We are not afraid of you. You are mouthpieces for a govt that will go down as one of the most corrupt in our lifetimes and your influence is waning rapidly. It's time to keep Holly's name out of your mouth. It's time to stop cheering the arsonists who are burning down our NHS, and it's especially time for you to stop gaslighting the public into believing that their neighbourhood looks better on fire.

You have never been on the side of patients and you never will be. And no one in the UK who wants reliable and honest information about NHS policy should trust anything that's written in your newspapers.

We fight for our patients. You fight for our billionaires. I think the public knows who to trust.
