@SCoRMembers Congratulations Karl, what a number of amazing achievements! I remember you being super kind and helpful when I was a baby first year radiographer on placement.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Great idea! Can you give me a list of the beaches you haven’t covered in sewage?

Sajid Javid calls for an introduction of a £20 fee to see GP and a £66 charge for A&E visits

If the Tories get their way this will be the end of the NHS as we know it

If you'll fight this with us please reply with a 💙.

I cannot believe @BBCWorld published this headline in the year 2023. Staggering sexism.

grocery store chains: we set record profits this year

retail chains: we've never made so much money

energy companies: we just posted our best quarter on record

news article: who is to blame for inflation? you peasants wanting wages, probably

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.

I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Facts.

[Nicola @nsmith694]

@Kilted_Sailor @AlexofBrown Obviously I don't.

Do you support the threats and abuse the trans community receives on a daily basis?

[Nicola @nsmith694]

@Kilted_Sailor @AlexofBrown She's got an absolutely massive platform and she used it to direct harm at a minority that already experiences a horrendous amount of violence and discrimination.

[Nicola @nsmith694]

@Kilted_Sailor @AlexofBrown Sigh. Trans people aren't trying to take away anyone else's rights, they're fighting for their own!

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

Netherfield Park Is Let at Last!

[The RCN @theRCN]

“The NHS is in a crisis, the nursing profession can’t take any more, our loved ones – your parents, children, friends and relatives – are the ones at stake here."

On the eve of the first #RCNStrike, @patcullen9 sets out why this action is the only option.

#FairPayForNursing

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.

Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.

Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

This is Goose and Raymond. Goose wanted to roll down a snowy hill but picked one that was too flat. Raymond is helping. 14/10 for both

[Jo Caulfield @Jo_Caulfield]

No-one WANTS to go on strike!

Nurses, Teachers, Ambulance Crews, Rail Workers, Postal Workers, Border Force Officers, Baggage Handlers … they DON’T get paid when they’re on strike.

Don’t fall for Tory tactics of turning workers against each other. ✌️

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

To put in context multi millionaire Nadhim Zahawi threatening nurses & ambulance paramedics with bringing in soldiers to break their strike, it’s worth remembering his expenses claim which included heating his horses’ stables was more than a nurse on starting pay is asking for.
