Physiotherapist, currently working in trauma orthopaedics. Former British Army. Living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

If only history had some sort of lesson about a right wing party putting a former corporal forward as a politician…

@Aiannucci But it briefly stopped Boris Johnson voting yesterday, so worked on one untrustworthy voter. A policy so discriminatory against the young must be one of the first to go after the next election.

@DPJHodges @_WildfellHall Tories have to salt the earth first. Once again putting Party interests ahead of national.

In 2011, 17 people waited more than 12 hours in A&E, and that was considered scandalous. The current Government have normalised it for more than 140,000 to wait for more than 12 hours. It’s time for a change.

@TedUrchin @adechapmanlaw In 2011, 2011 people waited over 12 hours in A&E. In 2023 it was over 140,000.

@lunaperla @mikegalsworthy @afneil @MailOnline In 2011, a total of 17 people waited in A&E for more than 12 hours and that was considered a failure. This Government have normalised it that over 140,000 people will face the same 12 hour+ wait.

@adechapmanlaw Conor apparently keen to hear feedback, so he’s bravely turned off replies 😂

Great summary of inheritance tax and why it only generally affects the most wealthy 4%. Before buying into the political spin, watch this clip.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Inheritance tax: will you pay it? A quick myth-buster to explain how the much confused tax really works, who’s likely to pay, and who isn’t…

@DanielRoyParkin @VikkiSlade72 Why over complicate it? If the only reason to drive through the park is to avoid queuing traffic, then that problem is abated outside of rush hour anyway. A permanent closure to traffic opens up options to change the drainage at keyhole bridge for all round pedestrians access?

[Tim Lees💙 @TimLees91]

@DanielRoyParkin @VikkiSlade72 I commute daily on a bike to the hospital through the park. I would say almost daily I have a car that passes too close and cuts me up in their dash to use the park as a rat run. Less cars in any park has to be a positive.

@MarinaPurkiss @JohnnyMercerUK Jonny’s Government (illegally) cut veterans’ pensions by 25%; wonder if that played any part in the rise in veterans’ homelessness 🤔. Bet he doesn’t own that fact.

[Tim Lees💙 @TimLees91]

@VikkiSlade72 Like introducing a furlong as an Olympic event - cutting edge Government.

[Tim Lees💙 @TimLees91]

@RhonddaBryant Anything to do with the Conservatives (illegally) cutting veterans pensions by 25%?!

[Tim Lees💙 @TimLees91]

@VikkiSlade72 @biztradegovuk Meanwhile in the actual world, my car insurance, home insurance and energy costs have increased by over 50% in the last year (my wages by 6%). Their priorities are not improving our lives at all. Time for a change.

@dannywallace It explains why the country feels slightly better run today than when the Cabinet are actually in work.

Prophylactically cough assisting a GBS patient to enable day release to be with family, and fitting a speaking valve for a tracheostomy patient in time for them to FaceTime their granddaughter; simple treatments take on greater significance on Christmas Day. @UHDTherapies

After watching Jaws, as a swimmer and physio, I can’t see any advantage to Quint’s toast 🤣

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Today I worked with three junior doctors and six nurses who would be ineligible to come and work in the NHS if the govt’s desperate dog-whistle of a policy to raise the earning cap to £35k goes through. That would reduce the staffing levels by 33%. But maybe that’s the plan?

@BladeoftheS Government admits there’s not enough health and social care workers but refuses to pay them enough to solve the problem.
