Why it matters much more what you eat than where it's from: transportation makes up a tiny share of greenhouse gas emissions for most products

1/3 Excellent article @Emmajourno on lack of progress in pay erosion despite DDRB 23/24 👇

Pls share/RT

1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: So we need to talk about NHS pay. NEW shocking [post DDRB] data just in 4/1/24 👇 (SPOILER: Not "fair & reasonable")

We need to fix pay/retention to fix waiting lists- increasingly clear next GE will won/lost on NHS

Please read whole 🧵 & share widely/RT

Batteries are currently going through a massive domino effect of adoption certain to phaseout 50% of global fossil fuel demand by 2040 at the latest. Because: economics

We are witnessing, live, the end of the age of oil (that's why Big Oil hijacked the UN climate talks)

[Leo Hickman @LeoHickman]

So much anger at the new COP28 draft text. None more so than from Marshall Islands:

“[We] did not come here to sign our death warrant. We came here to fight for 1.5C and for the only way to achieve that: a fossil fuel phase-out…We will not go silently to our watery graves."

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

If you are wondering why juniors & consultants are striking - this why 👇

Their pay has been comprehensively destroyed even vs CPI which is governments own preferred measure of inflation.

Everyone else & comparator professions, not so much!

@Blade00131 Alright, I’ll do it virtually from Oz! I’ll just need you to set me up with a live feed, laptop and a body #robocoach

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

The NHS is completely BROKEN

It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse)

It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it

RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population

[lucy gossage @lucygoss]

I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. https://t.co/Liv26cn8Or #ConsultantsStrike

1/ Short 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics

I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC / Sky today, its not clear whether they dont understand the differences, or they are trying to mislead

Please read all & share / RT

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists.

But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY.

I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

[Timothy Griffiths @TTGrif]

@SteveBarclay @BMA_JuniorDocs @Telegraph Get round the table with a pay offer then Steve. Simple.

[Timothy Griffiths @TTGrif]

@CAllenBlacks @GuiseleyAFC This is a fully grown man acting like an immature child demonstrating mockery as acceptable behaviour. Hardly respectable in any capacity or role modelling well to the community. I’ve coached for Guiseley and it doesn’t fill me with any pride to see.
