1/ The sheer depths of Downing Streetโs wretched incompetence, arrogance, narcissism & macho posturing revealed this week shock precisely no-one who worked in the NHS during Covid.
Let me remind you (as I did at the time) what those early hellish days of Covid were like for us.
NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.
American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons ๐
Letโs start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years
The world is finally aware that the โIslamicโ Republic of Iran have been funding and training the terrorists that attacked Israel. So here are SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE REGIME:
HOW DO YOU EVEN DARE TO SPEAK OUT against Israeli oppression, when 10M Jews, Christians, Bahรกโรญs and Muslims have left Iran for fear of being killed or meaninglessly executed?
HOW DO YOU DARE TO TRY and align yourselves with an oppressed people, when youโve raped & slaughtered your own people for the past 44 years?
HOW DO YOU DARE TO SPARK A WAR THAT NO ONE WANTS except a fanatical minority which celebrates the slaughter of Israeli civilians, including hundreds of women & children?
HOW DO YOU DARE DISPLACE 260,000 Palestinians so children continue to be born in Gaza with no prospects other than a choice between misery or death?
NO ONE WANTS more war crimes inflicted on yet more civilians. What is coming is chilling. And it will get worse:
Russia backing the IRI because theyโre dependent on the IRGC for military hardware & drones, war in the Ukraine, the US parked in the Mediterranean and Israel fighting Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north and potentially the IRI too, itโs a world war that will affect every single one of us.
If we are humanitarians, everyone of us on this platform must call for a cease fire immediately. We know what each side is capable of. Killing more innocent people gets us nowhere other than a fast track to Armageddon.
The U.K. govt are currently spending twice as much on Private Healthcare as they do on the entire Primary Care Service (GP Practices)!!
Yet 90% of all patient contacts occur in primary care
Is it any wonder the system is crumbling?
Laura Siegemund played a fantastic match against title favorite Coco Gauff last night but she got booed of the court for, imagine, at 36yo having to slowdown the pace of play between against a 19yo. Got a point penalty for that. She had things to say:
Greenwood wasnโt cleared, charges were dropped. Itโs not uncommon for victims to do this especially if impregnated by an abuser (a common tactic).
He doesnโt deserve a career. Man U should be fucking ashamed for even considering it.
Women, if your boyfriend defends him, leave.

A young 18 year old woman, Rianna, in a jail cell was forced to give birth alone screaming for help that never came. She bit through her own umbilical cord and the baby died.
In England. And it isnโt every single headline. And we arenโt in the streets.

โฆ@BBCNewsโฉ please update the article to make it clear that the 2nd adrenaline injection should go into the other leg, not the same leg as the 1st. This could be life saving information. Youโve given half of the critical information! https://t.co/QASrSo32kx

Hi @EE can you tell me why Iโve been charged, twice, for Apple Music this month, when I texted (as instructed) immediately to stop it after my free trial ended?
Leah Williamson's "World Cup dream is over".
She's joined an expanding list of players with the same injury... why are ACL injuries more common in female footballers than male?
