Run a great small biz distributing ballet stuff to dance shops across the Uk (was Eu too but #Brexit hammered that!) Just developed new gloves for dog walkers
I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.
That's 'too expensive'.
But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.
Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.
Left: Wes Streeting launches a scathing attack on doctors after they vote to strike, his rant is full of half truths and outright lies
Right: Dr Andrew Meyerson who is an A&E doctor explains what the actual problems are, and the reasons behind the strike
You can either trust the politician, or the person who will help you when you fall ill or have an injury
My vote is for @AndrewMeyerson and every other doctor out there 👍
I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.
I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.
Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?
Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.
Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.
None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.
You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.
Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.
Think. Before they take everything.

Trump doesn’t want you to see this.
Keep sharing.
Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice.
He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education.
What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?
Feels especially poignant being at Essex @catsprotection this morning after my beloved cat of 17 years, Henry, passed away on Monday. Too many ppl buying designer cats when many are awaiting new homes in rescue centres across the UK. Important message = adopt don’t buy! 🐈 @gmb
There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.
@mindak67@krassenstein If you buy anything that's not made in USA you will
Indirectly be paying these tariffs/ taxes. USA importer fm Brazil pays tariff to USA gov, and so importer puts price of item up and u effectively pay . Only if you buy things made in U S A will you avoid these taxes.
@magafan1776@krassenstein Yes it's more money for USA gov that USA citizens have to pay - when the goods r imported fm Brazil 2 USA, the USA importer/ company/ person pays this 50% tariff over 2 USA gov ( tax) . But the importer can't afford that hit, so he will raise the price to u the USA consumer!
“I’ve watched men bleed out in the Ardennes for a flag you’re not fit to hold, let alone wrap yourself in. You think bluster is bravery? I led men through hell. You couldn’t march through rain without whining about your hair.
You dodged the draft, praised dictators, and called that strength. I stared down Rommel’s panzers and pissed in the Rhine. You ran from bone spurs and hid behind Twitter like a spoiled child playing general.
You talk about purging patriots and jailing dissenters? That’s not power. That’s cowardice in a cheap suit and a clip-on tie.
I fought Nazis. You invite them. I liberated camps. You threaten to build new ones. I defended democracy with a .45 and a tank. You disgrace it with a pen and a podium.
So let’s be clear, sunshine: if you’d stood in front of me in ’44 spewing this treasonous filth, I’d have court-martialed you so fast your gold toilet would’ve flushed itself.
You’re a disgrace to the presidency and this Republic. And if you keep dragging this country toward dictatorship, history won’t salute you—it’ll spit.”

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep
The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication
This should also be banned @wesstreeting unless you have a way to justify this?
This Trump Corruption List is nowhere near comprehensive. That's exactly the problem.
I'm going to continue doing everything I can, every single day to rein in this corrupt president. And dangerous Administration.
I know you will, too.
