@Ed_Miliband@wesstreeting And the Chagossians have their islands where “their right of self-determination is paramount” too. The world thinks we’re having a sale on islands, where we pay other countries to take them off our hands. Watch out Isle of Wight!!!
Serious question here: why does the @CareQualityComm approve of ACPs working exactly like a GP seeing undifferentiated patients?
@rcgp makes it clear experienced hospital doctors can��t do this and GPVTS residents only under supervision
The care quality regulator needs to urgently review, revise and restrict this
They walked in for training. He walked out with a suspect.
@TheInnocentUSA trainings aren't lectures. They're hands-on online operations, officers working real cases while they learn. During one of them, officers with Kitsap County Sheriff's Office generated a lead on the spot and took it home.
That lead turned into an arrest.
And now they have the skills to do it again.
That's what training built for impact looks like.

🚨 BREAKING: Reform UK responds to the alleged secret donations to the party
"Reform UK has been the target of a hoax perpetuated by foreign-funded, climate change activists posing as would-be party donors. The party denies any wrongdoing.
"Reform UK has a robust vetting process for prospective donors approved by the Electoral Commission. We also have written KC legal opinion showing no laws have been broken. A private individual paid for polling to a private company and the private company gave it to national newspapers. This would only need to be declared if it were internal polling.
"The hoaxers are ‘Verbatim Investigations’; a new company, incorporated in July 2026 in an attempt to mask their true identity: the Center for Climate Reporting (CCR). The methods of its founder, Lawrence Carter, have previously been rebuked by members of the United States Congress for “videos [that] appear to be substantially edited, creating an incomplete record of the conversation.”
"The group has partnered with the publicly-owned Channel 4 in an attempt to mislead the public about the party’s donations and vetting processes. The same group, led by Greenpeace’s Lawrence Carter and far-left activist Louis Wilson, were busted attempting a similar hoax in the U.S. at the end of last year. This is yet another establishment attack on Reform UK.
"While Reform UK denies all wrongdoing in relation to the Channel 4 hit job this evening, as a matter of course, the Party is launching an internal investigation regarding the circumstances surrounding the broadcast"
When the casting for CARA was announced, I had more than one person emailing in to inform me that I was hiring a Nazi and that they would destroy my film, campaigns would be organised against it, etc etc.
That "Nazi"? @DreyfusJames, who - in my experience - is a genuinely great actor who would be an abysmally poor Nazi.
Naturally, I was very forthright in my responses. But I've also had actors saying they'd like to work with me, but they're concerned about the association. I guess I must be one of those "Nazis" as well.
In the arts, the pressure is very real and still a constant. Unless more people step up and respond with "Fuck off!" to these people, we're going to be left with talentless ideologues checking every box nobody should care about.
The moral of this story? When people try to browbeat you into submission, don't appeal to them, don't apologise, don't "debate", just tell them loudly and clearly to FUCK OFF.
@MogOrDie@SandyofSuffolk A paramedic can not effectively do a comprehensive dementia check. They do not have the experience or any previous relationship with the patient.
@DrSteveTaylor Pharmacies will test, then prescribe. How many hundreds of thousands more people can they sell statins to? They won’t be giving dietary and other advice because it doesn’t bring in the £s.
@DeanEggitt Agreed a pharmacist is best place for a medication review as they are more knowledgeable with these. But, GP’s are vital for picking up problems just by looking at a patient especially young children and dementia patients who cannot voice their problems.
@Onlyme76073356@SandyofSuffolk You also go there when you need to pick up a blood test request form or go on the blood pressure/weight machine. The surgery is always empty where I live.
I have often thought that one of the ways to reduce cost as the NHS would be to centralise purchasing for all items from cotton wool buds to MRI machines.
These days Amazon boast that you can place an order at 10 am and it can be delivered by 4pm the same day.
Imagine a government contract awarded to Amazon to store in one central warehouse all NHS materials . Allowing every hospital in the UK to send orders for supplies.
Also imagine as an example of one item, how many cotton wool buds are sitting in stock at each and every hospital in the country. It will run into millions, whereas using the just in time ordering this stock pile would be massively reduced.
Further to this (and I maybe wrong) each hospital have buyers for all supplies. They are able to use any supplier they choose and I am sure not at the best prices . Centralised supplies offers great negotiation power with suppliers.
@orlaminihane@Iannoshoes Very well said. But I bet they never say any of this crap in the real world, in front of their own mothers, sisters, aunts etc. Weak ass men who want weak ass women.
@RupertLowe10@RupertLoweValet The reasoning sounds nuts. I don’t think you’ll get people to invest their vote in you by telling them that you’re standing just to show how little votes Restore or the others will get.
@tchapmanonline Just heard this on Smooth FM in England! Brilliantly, beautifully written. “I had a feeling I could be someone,” is the line that gets me.
@sajidjavid You need to look at the quality of mental health professionals. You can eventually persuade your loved one to seek help but if they’re told that there’s nothing much wrong with them and to take some anti depressants, they disengage and the worst can happen.
