Extraordinary to hear Steve Barclay on @BBCr4today this morning, arguing that doctors cannot be offered a fair pay deal to make up for the huge depreciation in wages over previous decades - because teachers are paid so little.
We should pay teachers more too!
Why should these key workers in the public sector be penalised and exploited for not choosing to work in the private sector?
13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻
Jeez. Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman is again tweeting about 20,000 “new” police officers
If you think she needs assistance with her maths give this a RT
Dear 🇬🇧,
Here’s your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don’t need a new system. You need a new govt that won’t destroy your public NHS to feed a private system. Your family isn’t safe in #ToryBritain.

The Conservatives said they would deliver more nurses.
Yet numbers on nursing courses have fallen by 13% this year.
Please RT if you think everyone should be aware.
They simply cannot be trusted with our NHS.

In our supposedly cradle-to-grave NHS, only 25% of hospice care for children & only 33% for adults is government funded.
Imagine maternity, paediatric or ICU beds having to rely on car boot sales & charity fun runs.
Thank you @Chrisitv for highlighting.

'Tis done. After 23 years as a consultant, I should feel distraught & very angry, especially for the patients who I should have been able to try & help over the next 1/2 decade. But after the horror of the last 10 years, all I feel is an overwhelming sense of relief.
I'm out.

Honoured to have contributed to such an important book. It's not even out yet and they've had to reprint due to high pre-orders. Glad so many others believe this is an important issue for all of our students. #Teachappy#SquarePegs#Belonging
The UK’s erosion of food standards continues as DEFRA ends additional inspections of meat products imported from Brazil.
Meat products shipped into 🏴 🏴 🏴 no longer face Salmonella testing prior to leaving Brazil and after arrival in Britain.
