@gji1964 I am devastated by your news, somehow I had missed your previous posts, life has been unbearably cruel to you. My husband had a severe stroke 14 months ago and us confined to a wheelchair, so I understand a fraction if your pain, my thoughts are with you Grant.
Everyone who can should boycott Palantir.
Their technology is facilitating state-sponsored terrorism.
I don’t want them to have my data: but the UK government has signed contracts that allow them access.

England should boycott the Afghanistan cricket team to support the appalling treatment of women there. Sign the Petition! https://t.co/oXHHHcCkZb via @UKChange
The women and girls of Afghanistan and Iran are fighting for their rights every day. They endure gender apartheid, denied education, closed medical institutions, & the suppression of free speech. Their courage & resilience must not be forgotten. We must stand with Afghan women.
“the NHS is broken” and this week Streeting will start to use that as an excuse to control your medical notes – you’ll never know who has read them from anywhere across not only the NHS but private providers too.
NHS England have done nothing for GP practices in the past 8 years
There has been no public support, they have promoted top down more costly services, with little cost benefit analysis
In private they have cut funding whilst publicly promoted anything other than GPs
Change needed
It seems @wesstreeting enjoys power - first he wanted to decide on health care of trans kids, now he wants to do that for everyone else

@medConfidential “Sam Smith of @medConfidential
said this risked a backlash:
‘It will mean people won’t want their data used, & the system will become more risk averse to stop that, & lead to excessive bureaucracy on legitimate academics’.”
Quite. Some politicians ignore the key role of trust.
Please read this @Ara_Darzi & @wesstreeting on the vital importance of ensuring hospice & community palliative care are funded as bedrock NHS services 🙏
Otherwise, some of the most vulnerable patients in Britain will suffer avoidably at the end of life 😔https://t.co/SKXnnkONKl
So @gmcuk has just emailed me demanding its annual £455 registration fee.
But given the GMC's reckless stance on PAs, please could @TheBMA consider a national VONC in them?
If we withheld our fees, the govt would have to intervene.
I want a GMC that protects my patients 🤷♀️
@RCollEM@RCEMpresident@Channel4@krishgm Two problems for a start are not enough GPs and not enough Social Care. This also spreads to not enough Dentists. We drive about and you see all these houses being built but there are no extra services being put in place.
@RCollEM@RCEMpresident@Channel4@krishgm Where is the understanding that until Social Care becomes as important as the NHS, funded properly and with a common NHS number, nothing will improve?
May I please get 10 followers to copy and re-post this tweet?
