@BBCNews Why does a water company need to advertise? I can't send them my sewage and they can';t supply my water in Newcastle? Why not just spend the money on fixing leaks and avoiding sewage spillage?

She was 82.
A quiet lady.
Her perfume, the same as my Granny's.

I was her doctor.
Fresh out of medical school.

She told me she was dying.

What platitudes could I offer?
What reassurance could I give?

I had no words.

I reached out & held her hand

And then...

"Britain-hating, criminal-supporting socialists... want to see Britain forced back into the UK".

@GuvnaJohn @Applemint999 @ollieburtonmed @callum_a2 @BMA_JuniorDocs @TheBMA @BMA_Consultants @Doctors_Vote Thanks John - and good to see you speaking eloquently at the Monument.

@Applemint999 @ollieburtonmed @callum_a2 @BMA_JuniorDocs @TheBMA @BMA_Consultants @Doctors_Vote @GuvnaJohn Supporting the people I have taught was a delight: I never imagined that the NHS would be so threadbare. I regret not preparing students for the dilemmas this presents to them as doctors. The country should be run for the benefit of its people, not for the few who are wealthy.

Boris Johnson, having given his brother a peerage, his donors honours, his mates billions in PPE contracts, his friends the best jobs, now wants his dad to get a knighthood

In another country, What’s the word for that kind of thing?

@GuvnaJohn @NewcastleHosps Absolutely agree, John. No one encouraging them to do so will support them if something goes wrong - it's THEIR registration that could be at risk. Working beyond competence is a serious fitness to practise issue for the very good reason that it puts patients at risk of harm.

@lucy_frith LNER, owned by the taxpayer, performs better.

@angelaeagle @jessphillips Or is this just "preparing the ground" for an announcement of a reinstatement of the policy in a few months time?

[Bryan Vernon @Bryanwithabeard]

@JosephCosgrove7 @N_landCouncil @AnnaBatchelor @JohnHanley11 @Dr_IanBaxter Actually it's the same party in government - don't fall into the trap of calling it new: it is the same disdain for the little people.

[Bryan Vernon @Bryanwithabeard]

Omit it and leave more space for Medical Ethics in the curriculum. 😇

[Joseph Cosgrove @JosephCosgrove7]

Can't disagree

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

Finally! An end to food hygiene regulations, safety measures, maternity leave and the minimum wage!

[Bryan Vernon @Bryanwithabeard]

Liz Truss knows she can count on your support.

[Bryan Vernon @Bryanwithabeard]

Liz Truss's empathy and concern for those working hard while claiming benefits certainly shone through on this morning's interview with Laura K.

@MissClaire_75 Answer to his question? None.

[Bryan Vernon @Bryanwithabeard]

I just love this.

@MissClaire_75 @AdamBienkov @EHijacked We need lots of lamp post stickers in red wall seats - "You believed Tories would level up? Sucker".
