Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

Mind-blowing how there’s suddenly enough money to throw at “stopping the boats” but not enough money to help millions of people suffering with the cost of living crisis OR enough money to increase wages of key workers OR enough to assist with the rental crisis
My mum passed away from cancer during the lockdown & we were only allowed 30 people at her funeral. We weren’t even allowed to sit together. She had NO visitors leading up to her death. The fact that ITV think it’s acceptable to put Matt Hancock on I’m a Celeb is disgusting.

Cried smiling in acceptance of how much I miss Dad. I don't share this to self promote, just learning that shutting down means I'm not celebrating his joy. To miss is to love & to love is to have shared it so to not pass it on is about grief. I want love, joy, so would Dad x
