The UK govt's approach to migration is cruel and inhumane.

The absence of safe routes and the criminalisation of people seeking safety force more people to risk their lives at sea – with devastating effects.

RT or QT this to tell @SuellaBraverman we need safe routes now!

Hey @BorisJohnson, thought I’d do a survey to help you read the room.

A simple question:
Should Stanley Johnson (Boris Johnson’s father) receive a knighthood?

Please retweet once you answer so that we can get as many responses as possible

I have lost count how many patients with ME/CFS and/or long Covid are made to feel that they are not truly suffering. In my clinical experience, patients with these conditions often suffer the most & the symptoms are terribly debilitating. Absolutely shocking & disgraceful.

@JenRSLT Yes to this! I've been working as a generalist here in the Highlands for years & love the variety. It most definitely is a specialism.

@AilieReid I love living & working in the Highlands. The team is great. Rural Generalist posts give you a really good flavour of all the different areas of practice. You get a varied job in the most beautiful surroundings. We have Voice Professional Interest Group (PIG) meetings each year.

[Sarah Doherty @SLT_SarahD]

@AilieReid Join the Voice CEN - as a student you get discount on study days. Voice is specialism so most routes are via a Band 5 Adult post. More rural areas we work as generalists so I often work with voice disorders. We have a Band 5 post https://t.co/C2mCrnixI3 DM if you have Qs.

[Sarah Doherty @SLT_SarahD]

Wonderful opportunity for any new grads or experienced band 5 #SLT colleagues. The Highlands are an amazing place to live & work. ❤ https://t.co/C2mCrnixI3

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin.

1/8 It’s Children in Need season. I always feel like an absolute grinch critiquing it because it’s so beloved and obviously raises much needed cash. But my ick outweighs my discomfort at being impolite so here we go (a thread)

[Philip Pullman @PhilipPullman]

BBC News at 4pm interviewed an 'expert' from Migration Watch during an item about the Home Secretary and immigration, without the slightest attempt to explain that MW was a right-wing pressure group. BBC getting worse and worse.

@ArtofBree @cox_tom In the Orcadian dialect, a short-eared owl is a 'cattieface'.

@hazard_leah @HighlandBks will you please stock this book when it's published?
