We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

If you're a politician getting paid over £84,000 plus expenses, for mainly office work...
You don't get to tell nurses on less than £30,000 that they're being paid enough for 12-hour shifts keeping people alive.
#NursesStrike
Nurses are under attack. The government have decided they will take them on and break them if needed
They are the same people who kept this nation going through the pandemic
They are the backbone of society
RT if you stand right behind them and will back them whatever it takes
One person, fighting for more money for people who need it most to survive, is called the grinch. While the rich people above him are having a banquet.
Not a hint of irony.

Why does it matter? Because your/mine, all of our future NHI health care + medicine access will depend on R&D choices, outcomes of clinical trials, patents granted, decisions of Advisory + 💊 Selection Committees that will *advise Minister + *select 💊for procurement by officers.
Pakistan is still within its fair share of the safe planetary boundary for CO2 emissions. The global North countries, as a group, have overshot the boundary several times over, driving climate breakdown.
We call on the G20-member governments to prioritize decentralizing manufacturing capacities now. Millions of Asians will die if lower and middle income countries wait for vaccine donations. Let countries with spare manufacturing capacity reproduce life-saving technologies. #G20
