Did anyone else find it weird that @LBC 's @ShelaghFogarty implied @DrTomNutt to be a medical doctor and asked him all sorts of medical questions about Meningitis? With callers asking for the "doctor's opinion" without being made clear he has a doctorate in History...

@Crescentwatch Salaam alaykum
Is it possible to please share some details of the sightees for us to speak to them to verify for our own organisation?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

When he was running to be Labour leader Starmer repeatedly highlighted what he regarded as excellent policies from Labours manifestos when Corbyn was leader & committed to keeping them. Today he attacked & ridiculed Corbyns manifesto.

Why should voters believe a word he says?

An excellent thread looking at healthcare systems and healthcare here in the UK.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

No doubt we are at a tipping point for the future of healthcare in the U.K.

You will hear a lot of misinformation, disinformation, and barefaced lies over the next 18 months - a £200bn/yr industry is on the table.

So here are the facts…

Has the NHS been value for money?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Interviewer: "Retention is the key word here, isn't it? Surely if you pay staff... what they deserve, then that will help with retention. That's not part of the plan, is it?"

The National Medical Director of NHS England: "No, its not part of the plan"

@fatimamanji @Channel4News Many many congratulations @fatimamanji . Sooo happy for you! May your baby be the best of examples for those around, growing into your shadow.

@RoshanaMN Very sorry to hear. Praying for you to have the strength and courage through this difficult time.

[Fr Paul @revpaulwhite]

My car broke down last year - the clutch gave out.

I tried passing a law making it illegal for my car to stop working, tried suing it, tried arresting it and tried sacking it.

Turned out that I needed to spend money maintaining and fixing it.

Who knew...

[St Albans N Harrow @stalbansharrow]

So glad to have had our dear friends from @sicm_mahfil_ali with us again at Midnight Mass. Happy Christmas to you all! #FollowTheStar

Powerful by @fortuashla from @GNDRising & her colleagues.

As part of this, a Conservative Party supporter said: "Go back to your own country" (ht @AyoCaesar)

Why hasn't this been picked up & the lack of condemnation highlighted?

It's disgusting xenophobia.

[Miqdad Asaria @miqedup]

Does hiring more NHS managers make hospitals perform better?

We find that it doesn't in our research with @andrewdstreet and @Alimcguire2 find out more here:

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

I am very saddened to learn of the death of Major General Matt Holmes. My thoughts are with Matt's family and friends at this difficult time, as well as the Royal Marines and Royal Navy who I know will feel this loss keenly.

[Kumail Versi @kversi]

@jonnybrick @miqdaad Possibly one of the first times that my brother is know via me instead of the other way around!

[Kumail Versi @kversi]

@RoshanaMN Have been killed*

I think we need to be clear about the way we word things. This isn't a passive "dying".

If you’re worried about the delayed second dose of the COVID vaccines here’s a thread.

I live with my wonderful mother-in-law (below): she is high risk and has had a single dose. She's hoping for another but is worried about a delay. You may feel the same...

@MFMiddlesex please notify me if you are active on this account.

@RoshanaMN I had planned to go part time so that my wife @1_Selda could increase hours to finish GP training quicker. But they rejected the application due to #COVID19. They then forgot I existed so didn't allocate me a job. Now I am taking up an 80% post anyway! #adminerrors

@johnmcdonnellMP This is vital. A very important and influential group called @EveryDoctorUK are doing some excellent work on this. I understand that you have attended a meeting about this? I hope that more MPs can help to fight for fair and decent pay for all NHS staff. #WeLeaveNoOneBehind

[Feryal Clark MP @FeryalClark]

Our health and social care workers have worked tirelessly to support us all throughout this pandemic. They *all* need — and deserve — proper recognition from the government. #LeaveNoOneBehind @EveryDoctorUK
