The conservatives have been in government for what seems like 350 fucking years up until last year but apparently this is now a problem that they tell us they want to solve

Where was the interest in tackling the insanity of student finance just 1 year ago? Or 2? Or 6?

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

From £84,000 to £110,000.

This is the shocking reality of the student loan debt trap.

We’re the only Party with a plan to end it and save graduates like Max £10,000s.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

So are u employing more GPs (there are many, just no jobs out there fr them) or “equivalent GPs” (non doctors) as you say in the video.

There’s a big big difference Wes

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

⬆️ More GPs recruited
⬆️ Patient satisfaction improved
⬆️ Another £485 million invested

🚪 @WesStreeting on how we're fixing the front door of the NHS.

[Devan Sinha @DevanSinha]

Media & public need to know - Resident doctors don't choose to join NHS.
By law & regulation NHS is a state monopoly employer for doctors that they must work for it in order to:
A) receive their full medical licence
B) do specialty jobs building up to become a consultant or GP

[Callum Williams @cmwilliams99]

The dispute is on pay and jobs

The latest offer had:

Pay: Nothing
Jobs: no new jobs (just a few repurposed jobs)

No one is expecting it all at once, but the last offer had no new jobs and no pay increase - is it any wonder residents overwhelmingly rejected it.

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

The BMA is made up of everyday doctors, of whom 29,215 (83%) voted against this deal. This isn’t a 52/48 Brexit style vote.

This is a condemnation of a poor deal that was not acceptable.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

Hi Wes.

I voted no to your “offer” in very good conscience.

The biggest damage to the NHS this Christmas is having you as Health Secretary

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

"I think that's unconscionable. Let alone avoidable."

@WesStreeting responds to resident doctors voting to cause maximum damage to the NHS at Christmas.

[ClinOncDoc @ClinOncDoc]

When @wesstreeting calls doctors ‘moaning minnies’ & ‘juvenile delinquents’ he is infantilising highly trained professional adults who don’t deserve to be paid less than they were 18 years ago.

It is not the language of collaboration.

[Valerie (Val) Humphreys @valhumphreys51]

This is what you get @wesstreeting when your principal method of negotiating is to offer something you promised six months ago and didn’t implement, and then to hurl puerile insults at the other party. Maybe stop worrying about political advancement and start doing your job?

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

He now uses this to blame doctors on the failings of a sinking NHS that have preceded strikes.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

Let’s be very clear about what’s happened: Wes Streeting knew that winter pressures were coming, again, for the 50th year in a row.
So he offered doctors a ridiculous offer that is nowhere near ANY of the requests from the last 4 years.

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

Let’s be very clear about what’s happened: the BMA knows this time of year is the most difficult for the NHS, knows there are particular pressures this year because of the flu variant, sees the impact this is having on hospitals, and said “Great, we’ll use this serious threat to patient safety as leverage by going on strike to boost our career prospects”. And people will die because of it. It shouldn’t be legal.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

Streetings offer is a farçe.
He knew we would not accept it because we have balloted to strike multiple times over the last 4 years and have been very clear on our demands.

His “offer” does not even attempt to address any of those demands.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

Strikes will GO AHEAD from 17-22 December, after resident doctors in England voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest offer from @wesstreeting.

[David Urwin @DavidUrwin94]

Government could reduce waiting lists by funding more anaesthetists.

They haven’t.

A shortage of anaesthetists causes operations to be cancelled on a daily to weekly basis.

Long waiting lists are the fault of the government.

Not doctors. Not strikes. The government.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

Tell us please, what improvements have you made to our working lives in the absence of strike action.

Because we are either all blind or you are lying.

Flu season happens every year. You should plan ahead for it with or without strike action happening.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

"I would urge you to carefully consider your decision. There is a way to avert further strikes
and enable us all to focus on continuing to make the improvements to your working lives that
we are committed to, and which you deserve."
- National Medical Director

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

Doctors opening their inboxes to see what Wes has offered them this time.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

I then apologise to the patient, show them what a cervical lymph node is and safety net them.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

Reactive lymphadenopathy sent to ED to try to expedite US scan.
We don’t do emergency US scans. This doesn’t require it.

[Jimena Seara Prieto @jspMed]

Note that I have said the most likely differential is reactive lymphadenopathy.

They said “unclear pathology”.
They weren’t a GP.
