STOP PRESS! I promise that as MP for Uxbridge & South Ruislip I WILL move the hand dryer in the gents’ urinals at the Crown & Treaty to a more sensible position. TO PROVE IT, I have just signed a treaty with the Crown & Treaty, that if I win they will move it. I keep my promises!

So Pret baristas will now be earning up to £14.10 an hour.

New NHS doctors - after their 5-year medical degree, whopping £80,000 of student debt, & life & death responsibilities - get paid £14.13 an hour.

And the government wonders why they're striking?

HOW TO RELIABLY STOP HICCUPS:
Hiccups = phrenic nerve-to-diaphragm
spasm. To de-spasm that circuit, inhale maximally (via your nose) 3 times with no exhales in between. Then hold your breath for 15-30 seconds & then slowly exhale (via your mouth). Done.

@DacreJane @willquince @SteveBarclay @paygapsmedics @medicalwomenuk For academic clinician parents who are trying to do PhD & post doc work before CCT, the changes to training - eg compulsory dual training in GIM, two foundation years, inflexibility, have made it career restricted to the heroic. Lots of knock on for life sciences and research.
