Am I going mad or did @ITV put their only female pundit in a faux kitchen? #ENGCRO

@XBOXSupport Day off and no gaming for me, and it's been several hours from 9am till now 11 (UK time) so I agree we need pro-rata compensation. This isn't asking for a freebie this is asking for what we paid for back.

@TheBMA Hi, GP here, any chance of speaking up for us for a change, we're in real danger of being worse off than the residents soon...

@capcom_official after so many great games #onimusha may be the first bad one. The demo voices in English are so jarring and not at all matching the characters. Take a note from Ghost of Tsushima and AC Odyssey and hire Japanese voice actors for the English dub

Five of the world’s most respected diabetes researchers have reportedly been removed from a major conference, and threatened with arrest, after criticising US Government policy.

That should concern all of us, regardless of our politics. Science advances through challenge, debate and dissent. When researchers fear professional consequences for criticising government policy, the independence of medical research is at risk.

Academic freedom matters.

@NVIDIAGeForce #RTXOn hope this isn't a regional promotion

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Everyone else's mobile phone charges are going down.

In the UK they are going through the roof.

Zero regulation like Energy, Food, Water, Insurance, Rent...

They just rip you off as much as they like and the Government does nothing.

@Parody_RCGP Nooo, the only sane voice in a mad world, don't go.

[rick_x @rick_x]

@Parody_RCGP Where is the GP version of this guy?

[rick_x @rick_x]

Appreciate it, and unfortunately that's not all, systemic underfunding of primary care means people get all-you-can-eat visits for less than the cost of sky sports and surgeries can't afford to employ enough doctors. Belive it or not there are unemployed GP's who can't get work..

[rick_x @rick_x]

Exactly, the work dump from Hospitals and other sources takes valuable time away from GP's and is neither funded or appropriate. Yet the government and NHSE do nothing to curb it. It's almost like they want the system to fail and go private...

[The Maryfield Secretariat @Derryman5]

@TomblackBlack Is this one of the reasons why those who work during normal working hours can't manage to get a GP appointment?

We cant spend an hour everyday, calling the surgery over 100 times to be told there are no appointments left.

The workers can't get appointments!

[Raphael Dogg @raphaeldogg]

Labour is sacking 60,000 staff, replacing doctors with PAs that have the equivalent of 'A' levels, and 'insourcing' care to private companies who get paid for using our facilities, all the while loading health trusts with more PFI debt. No, Labour is not 'fixing' the NHS

@asha_shar been an xbox insider for nearly 2 decades, testing and feeding back since the 360. Never thanked once, not so much as a free game or xbox credit. I think we deserve more.

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications

This should also be banned

Influence is being bought in Govt

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Today Wes Streeting overruled NICE so he personally buys medication for the entire NHS

He did this so he can give an extra £6.4bn a year to the USA for nothing

Paying Doctors an extra £0.6bn a year is too expensive

But 10x as much for Donald Trump is done without question

[rick_x @rick_x]

@asha_shar Good move but considering people stacked their subs based on the offering of D1 COD shouldn't those people get a refund or extension of their GPU given it has now been devalued?

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

Just read it.

Spot On -

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”
