The ECHR protects
• the right to a fair trial
• freedom of assembly & expression
• the right to participate in free elections
• freedom of religion
• freedom from discrimination
• the right to privacy
• freedom from torture & degrading treatment
suggesting the UK could join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the human rights convention is just completely insane & any argument we can just leave the ECHR & create our own bill of rights pre - supposes we can actually trust the government with our human rights in the first place - WE CAN’T!
During the past eighteen months we’ve had an anti strike law - designed to rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike, an Elections Act will lock millions of people out of the electoral process - a blatant act of voter suppression by the government & new laws have now stripped back our right to protest & limited our rights to judicial review - an affront to the very principles of fairness and government accountability - anybody see a pattern emerging here?
Imagine if we had an inspectorate to inspect the quality of the performance of government ministers in the way inspectorates assess schools, NHS trusts, police, prisons etc? From Sunak down they would be in special measures. Yet they sit in constant judgement of all of the above
PLEASE HELP. I found this picture outside Sainsburys today. On the back, it reads "mum and dad 1955." I'd love to return to its owner. Maybe if we can share it. We can find the owner. Many thanks🙏 😉
Thank you so much for your support guys. I’m on my way to record my audiobook this morning - I’ve written a book about how politicians are wilfully destroying the NHS, and are profoundly failing patients and staff. Let’s raise the alarm. They’re ruthless. We must fight back.🚨
Today, we have once again written to the Government restating our willingness to negotiate, either directly or with Acas, so we can start to hold meaningful discussions.
We are as strong and united as ever, even after two rounds of strike action 💪
Read the letter 👇
Can we share this 5000 times?
🚨EveryDoctor is exposing MPs' interests in private healthcare🚨
Our public healthcare system is collapsing. NHS patients and staff are being profoundly failed, and this is what many MPs are doing. Let’s spread the word💙

After 11 years, in my final year as a junior doctor, I earn £23.50/hr
£23.50/hr to perform a renal biopsy
£23.50/hr to do a specialist renal clinic each week
I pay my barber more for a 30 min haircut. We are worth more than this!!

Yesterday JDC co-chairs received a letter from the health secretary – in which he introduced a pre-condition to give up our negotiating position and call off strike action.
Our response below makes it clear that without any credible offer next week’s strikes will continue.
This is a total misrepresentation of @BMA_JuniorDocs position👇
Junior Doctors have been trying to enter into serious negotiations for months. Only the Government has set preconditions.
We are ready to negotiate when you are, @SteveBarclay

Tory Minister Michael Gove says the UK is now poorer because of the Ukraine war & Covid.
NO. Other countries are affected by that too but have not gone downhill like the UK.
The real reasons are Brexit, Tory austerity, profiteering & corruption.

The NHS isn’t failing because of greedy staff, or lazy staff or patients with high expectations for their healthcare. It’s failing because politicians have taken active decisions to underfund it, understaff it, treat the workforce terribly+are now privatising it in various ways🚨
Junior doctors pay for their own:
Training costs
Exams
Regulation
Portfolios
Parking
Let alone expensive shift-hours childcare, housing, some with 100k student debt
We are more United than ever that our pay is not commensurate with the above
We won’t give up
