@Se_Railway Waterloo east.

[Cormac Breen @cormbreen]

Thank you @Se_Railway for switching platforms for the 1938 Hayes line train without an announcement. A pleasure to be standing for another 15 mins in pouring rain fir no good reason

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No wonder jnr doctors & nurses don’t feel valued. Not everyone is “feeling poor”equally @bankofengland . What gvmnt has done to their pay 👇 is an absolute disgrace

RT if u think @SteveBarclay @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak should #PayRestoration & save our NHS

[James Steen @BMA_James_Steen]

£66.55 for 3 full qualified and highly skilled doctors to save yours or a loved one’s life is an absolute disgrace!

With pay restored this would be:

10yr doc = £37.88
7yr doc = £33.09
1yr doc = £19.06

TOTAL = £90.03

We’re not asking the earth!

@DigitalAhp @GSTTnhs 1 person fewer in a great team. Good luck Chris and thanks

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We’ll always support NHS staff who fight against unfair working conditions

Please RT if you will too

Fair pay will help improve staff retention, increase the workforce size and boost morale

Or in other words, benefit every single person who uses, or may need to use, the NHS

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay

Nor an offence for which they should be penalised

But a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.

Please RT if you agree

@Conservatives The only thing you’re growing are the size of your lies and the depth of your disgrace

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Journalists are asking the union-bashing question ‘Are patients safe in hospital this week?’ when what they should be asking is ‘Are patients ever safe in hospital now as a result of government under-funding?’ NHS staff are the only responsible people here. The government is not.

@mikegalsworthy The phrase ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ will have to be retired forever

[Cormac Breen @cormbreen]

@nedboulting That detail is rather hidden in the bigger picture

[Peter Kyle @peterkyle]

Tulip Sadiq asks the prime minister about the welfare of 200 unaccompanied migrant children who’ve gone missing.

Tory MP Jonathan Gullis heckles ‘well they shouldn’t have come here illegally’.

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, the Tory Party find a new low

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Charging the sick for being sick.

Mark my words: this will be end of the NHS if the Tories have their way.

Fairness is fundamental to society. Asking public sector workers to accept a bigger drop in real income than private sector is unfair. The cash is there and raising incomes in line with core inflation is not inflationary. So why do it? Tax cutting ideology https://t.co/AsftNZWxNx

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

Asking for an NHS literally on its knees @Jeremy_Hunt...

Do you still agree (with yourself) its "crazy not to fix this" and are you still "on the case", Mr. Chancellor?

RT if you want the chancellor to fix this 👇

[Roy Lilley 💙 @RoyLilley]

All you need to know about staffing More doesn’t mean enough…

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Pls don’t let the govt gaslight you into thinking it’s ‘normal’ for patients to be dying in their droves at home, in ambulances, in corridors, in cupboards. Excess deaths are 26% higher than usual. This isn’t normal, it’s grotesque.

A humanitarian crisis, yet Sunak does nothing.

[Danny Wallace @dannywallace]

It's quite startling that for the second time in three years, the Tories are blatantly letting people die to make millions for their friends - and no one's talking about storming any Bastilles.
