I’ve worked with the #bbcpanorama team, meeting NHS staff with long Covid who say they feel abandoned. Some face going onto half pay, others are worried about losing their jobs. A short 🧵 https://t.co/pNhn8g338I
Made a programme with the @BBCNews iPlayer team about the NHS over the winter and what can be done to prevent similar scenes in 2023. With massive thanks to @RCEM_VP, @so_says_sally and @annemarieraffer for all their help. https://t.co/az1kqIZwGI
It's far beyond sad and painful to see @BBCArabic radio shutting down today, after nearly 85 years on air! It's incredibly difficult to describe how we feel!
The average wage for care workers in England - just under £20,000. About £8,000 less than the equivalent role in the NHS. Latest pay research provided by charity @ComIntCare Support worker Mollie says it is a struggle to put food on the table.

🚨 Nottingham Hospital has today declared a critical incident with widespread cancellations of operations. There have been calls to discuss cancer ops today as 80 patients wait for a bed in @nottmhospitals A&E. Only day case surgery is going ahead because of a lack of beds.
Just arrived at the Al Bayt stadium for England’s game and my cameraman, wearing the rainbow coloured watch strap his son got him, was stopped by security and refused entry. Clearly the message from FIFA is STILL not getting through.
The BBC News camera team are reeling today. We have lost a dear friend. Raeph Ballantyne was one of the kindest, gentlest, most talented colleagues you could hope to work alongside. Gone far too soon.
Some good news for once…Monkeypox cases peaked in July in the U.K. and have since declined both here and in many other countries. We spoke to Prof Neil Ferguson: https://t.co/BednZtiOyz
Down at the queues in Westminster today. Such a pleasure to meet Beth from @scouts who saw the food being binned at security and had the bright idea of getting in touch with a food bank. Now all non perishables are being redistributed by @felixprojectuk. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
New research for public inquiry into infected blood scandal estimates 1,820 people died after being given a contaminated blood transfusion in 70s and 80s. That’s on top of 2,000+ haemophiliacs and others with blood disorders who also lost their lives. https://t.co/pYjjB22BjO
So that was a night of my life I won’t get back. I never really intended to queue up for so long, but hey, you do the first hour and it’s all quite fun, and the second isn’t so bad, because you’re chatting to all the people around you and stuffing your face with sweets. And then
Me and my baby girl @StPaulsLondon as more than 2000 people gather to remember the Queen. I, and most likely my daughter, will never know another female monarch. End of an era indeed 👑. Service due to get underway in 25 mins. Hoping this little one stays 😴
