🔥take: all-male panels, authorship, consensus, editorial boards, admin boards & more do not "just happen", are not haphazard, are not linked to merit; they come from bias. Bias can be overcome.
Great piece by @kibbemr in @JAMASurgery, must read👉🏻https://t.co/MnFPTWKP3g
Two quotes:
Rishi Sunak: "Independent Treasury officials have costed Labour's policies and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for every working family"
Treasury Permanent Secretary: “civil servants were not involved in the production or presentation of the Conservative Party’s document”
Do you pay tax on the state pension? I've been asked this a lot after last night's @ITVdebate so
- The state pension is, and has always been taxable income.
- The full state pension is currently £11,500/yr
- The standard personal allowance (the amount you can earn before you pay income tax) is £12,570/yr
So if you ONLY get state pension income and nowt else, you won't be taxed currently.
At the last available DWP data of 12.7m people of state pension age in the UK, 8.1m will likely pay income tax as other income took them above the personal allowance. So roughly two thirds of state pensions do already pay tax
Medical debt should not exist.
It’s another corporate grift standing in the way of a fair and decent system. We shouldn’t be choosing between outrageous healthcare costs and outrageous housing costs and outrageous food prices. #MedicareForAll

The government's plan to send illegal migrants to Rwanda is an "egregious breach" of international and refugee law, the UN's refugee agency has warned https://t.co/5UJhcOAKOG
People need to stop saying that refugees will be sent to Rwanda for ‘processing’. The policy is to send them there forever - there is no return. This is people trafficking by the Government. They are bribing Rwanda with development funds.
Desperate & truly shameful announcement from Govt tonight as an attempt to distract from Boris Johnson’s lawbreaking.
Unworkable, unethical & extortionate.
“No-one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark… No-one puts their child in a boat unless the water is safer than the land”
Warsan Shire’s words never more important. Priti Patel’s #Rwanda plans are vicious & grotesque - utterly shameful. Britain is better than this
Some good news for a change!

So apparently there is no longer a legal requirement to self isolate. So should I go on campus tomorrow and give my lectures as usual and pass covid to about 80 ppl?
How about my 7 month old who is also positive. Should we send him to nursery tomorrow to infect the other kids?
We are devastated to hear so many traumatised NHS staff saying that they will quit the NHS
We cannot afford to lose a single member of staff
We must look after NHS staff NOW or we risk losing them forever
