As we continue to call for a ceasefire, urge the government to create a Gaza Family Scheme to enable Palestinians to reunite with their loved ones until it is safe to return. Write to your MP using @PSCupdates @GazaFamReunited action: https://t.co/nhch1uVzqh

PR spin from Thames Water is that it hasn't paid dividends since 2017.

Ministers repeat the lie in parliament.

Thames Water audited accounts show that it has paid dividends to its sole shareholder (its parent company) - e.g. £45m in 2023, £37m in 2022.

🤯 The water industry has paid out £57 billion to shareholders over the last 30 years. That money should have gone towards improving standards.

💚 The Green Party would bring water companies back into public control to be run for people, not profit.

This is exhibit A for anyone who ever tells you we should abolish criminology. The blatant lying and scaremongering in this unhinged advert should be the focus of every intro to crim lecture for the next decade, not to mention 100 theses. Utterly desperate and pathetic:

What isn't talked about so much is that 30% of young people will not succeed at GCSE, because the exams are designed that way. They can't all be successes, because success is defined as doing better than other people. It's a cruel lie to tell them they can all do well. 7/

I highly recommend this new book for the increasing number of therapists concerned about the growing medicalisation of the psychotherapeutic professions. It shows how demedicalised practice can thrive & succeed in an era sadly dominated by the outdated medical model of distress.

Downing Street tonight say everything possible is being done to increase hospital bed capacity.

What they do not tell you is that the Tories shut down 22,000 hospital beds cutting capacity by 1.6 million patients per year.

@AFINetwork @AlcoholChangeUK @AdfamUK @SUABManMet Thanks so much for sharing that - I hadn’t seen your work and so that’s really helpful. It would be good to chat about future plans if you’d find that interesting.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Spectacular dishonesty from @RishiSunak who clearly doesn’t give a damn about the deaths, misery, overcrowding & horror we must witness in hospitals everywhere. Come & see it for yourself, Prime Minister. Come on - let us show you. Look the dying patients in the eye like we must.

[Graham Scambler @GrahamScambler]

My GP surgery mid-morning. All is not well. Three lessons: (1) primary care is underfunded for political reasons, (2) GPs need to put up posters to explain this to their understandably frustrated patients, and (3) we need to fight for an NHS that is rapidly disappearing.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Please retweet if you, like me, want to know what exactly @SteveBarclay is doing to address the horrific conditions in the NHS currently 🤷‍♀️

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).
