@Boynielaad Actually 14 pushed further in 🙄

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@miked888 Because the ref’ing is truly dreadful. English rugby twitter sees the bad decisions too 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Devil96 @Devil_Dare99]

Knock on during England first try

No interference by Wales during their disallowed try

Genge driving in to get a penalty at the scrum

Continuously off their feet clearing out during Englands 2nd try

Itoje taking man out in the air, yellow

All not given. #WALvENG

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@ryan_andrew6 For no good reason whatsoever, tbh. They tried hard enough to find a spurious reason.

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

#WALvENG Ridiculous decision, really disappointing. The ref’ing in ITAvIRL was *so* good, I had high hopes 😕

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@drp297 If only it hadn’t been disallowed… first time I’ve seen that law in action!

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

I thought the grounding was a double movement and they didn’t look at it?? 👀

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

I’m loving my MA in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy @UniSouthWales - real shame there’ll be no new intake as the course has been closed. How can fewer counsellors qualifying be in keeping with a wellbeing agenda? #therapist #counsellor #talkingtherapies

BREAKING 📰🚨@BMA_Pensions ask @nhs_pensions @michaelkbrodie to report itself to @TPRgovuk

"We feel that NHS doctors are being completely failed by their pension scheme administrator ...due to exceedingly poor administration"

RT /comment👇if fed up with the service as well

@zoe77ashman @lovelifebekind1 Happy New Year to both of you lovely ladies xx 🥂

@RCEM_VP @RCollEM The pressure applied to ED staff to temporarily [sic] increase capacity in inappropriate areas - ‘holding’, ‘sub-waiting’, ‘transfer’, ‘DTA’… still corridors… is horrible. System failure is not solved in the ED. Dreadful patient (and staff) experience.

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@drkeithsiau @RCEMpresident I found Eurax cream dealt with the itching *much* better than calamine. (It was many years ago, so no idea if it still exists!)

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@goldstone_tony So I won’t get RPSS until I’ve had been sent a ‘choice’ exercise… dates for sending that are ‘under review’. I anticipate a (to me!) significant difference in lump sum as a result of the choice, as well as likely compensation for overpaid PS tax. But heaven knows when. 🤬

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

(6) in my view it’s past time @DHSCgovuk @HMRCgovuk to put out urgent guidance that due to the administration failures of @nhs_pensions (and to be fair other pensions agencies affecting doctors) that deadlines need to be formally relaxed around RPSS and SA for 23/24

RT if agree

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@trentconsultant It has been run on goodwill for so long that trusts/health boards have developed a sense of entitlement over their staff’s non-contracted, *own* time 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@DrLindaDykes Moved a while ago… will still visit here until ‘critical mass’ of people also move. Want to be ex-X-user

[Sarah Spencer @mumz.bsky.social @doc_spencer]

@goldstone_tony From that chart, if I’ve overpaid pension savings tax (from what I understand, it’s likely the case) there’s a suggestion it won’t get sorted until 2031??? Surely that can’t be right - by then would be wrong pension & wrong lump sum for *8* years?!?
