There won’t be acres of coverage or outrage over this, I can assure you.

Transcript:

Tomorrow I’m going out on strike as a Resident Doctor in England

I don’t take that decision lightly. I became a doctor to look after patients, not to walk away from work

But right now, I’m watching A&Es overflow, ambulances queue outside hospitals, and patients treated in corridors even on non strike days

While doctors who want to work in A&E are competing 14 to 1 for training places, and around 5 to 1 in GP

30,000 doctors applied for 10,000 training jobs this year

Thousands of future Consultants and GPs turned away due to Government imposed caps on training jobs

Doctors are ready to step in. The system isn’t letting them.

On top of that, after years of pay erosion

Wes Streeting has recommended a real terms pay cut for doctors for the next financial year

These factors in combination makes it harder for doctors to stay, to train, and to build a future in the NHS

Wes Streeting’s offer doesn’t change this

The headline 4,000 jobs he announced are a cannibalisation of existing locally employed doctor jobs, so the total number of doctors doesn’t increase at all as a result of his offer

There’s also nothing on pay, despite assurances we were on a ‘journey’ to pay restoration last year

The BMA offered to meet Wes Streeting as soon as the November strikes ended

He ignored the BMA for weeks

Instead, a last-minute rushed offer arrived from him with less than 24 hours to respond

The BMA put it to resident doctors. Nearly 30,000 of them said it wasn’t good enough

For me, this is about jobs and pay together

You can’t reduce waiting lists without training doctors, and you can’t keep doctors in the NHS while cutting their pay in real terms.

Tomorrow, I’ll be standing shoulder to shoulder with @BMAResidents across England on the picket lines; not because we want to strike, but because we need a solution from Wes Streeting that’s actually credible

That still remains within the Government’s gift to deliver

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds arrested in Parliament Square for peaceful protest against ban of Palestine Action

When the Government is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong here in the UK.

Peaceful protest is a fundamental right. People are understandably outraged by the ongoing genocide being committed in Gaza and are entitled under international human rights law to express their horror.

Amnesty has long criticised UK terrorism law for being excessively broad, vaguely worded and a threat to freedom of expression. Today's response only further demonstrates that our concerns were justified.

Any restriction on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly must be lawful, necessary and proportionate to achieving a legitimate aim. Criminalising speech in this context is only permitted when it incites violence or advocates hatred. Expressing support for Palestine Action does not, in itself, meet this threshold.

Nothing to see here, obviously.

@Conservatives Cat check: It isn't.

Why does no one warn about how your body just DIES at 30? Can I enjoy white bread w/o ending up comatose 20 mins later?

Can I fuck.

This is an Israeli military plane flying over Gaza City at 5am yesterday morning, facilitating the intensified bombing campaign

Keir Starmer let the same plane land secretly at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on March 6 this year

ICC must investigate British ministers. Now

If you hold a placard saying you support Palestine Action, you get nicked.

If you hold a banner saying 'Kill 'Em All' outside a hotel housing asylum seekers, the police look the other way.

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

Declassified tried to ask Metropolitan police commissioner Mark Rowley about the ban on Palestine Action.

Rather than responding, Rowley literally shoved our photographer before claiming "I didn't touch you mate".

When we researched the issue a year ago, we found that half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet has been funded by pro-Israel lobbyists.

Before his death, Pope Francis donated the popemobile to be turned into a mobile clinic to help Palestinian children in Gaza.

Israel won’t even let that enter Gaza.

[Trembling Tigress @Uj_SV]

@topfotogmw @David__Osland @baldivis01 And what about kids who a) can't live at home and b) aren't on a starting salary of 25k?

To think this is affordable make many assumptions about people's living situations

[Peter Twinklage @PeterTwinklage]

there is no evidence JD Vance killed the Pope. there is also no evidence JD Vance didn’t kill the Pope.

in conclusion, JD Vance should be deported to El Salvador.

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.

This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years.

We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

@bookingcom Done!

[Trembling Tigress @Uj_SV]

@bookingcom just fell victim to a phishing scam and no one is responsive to my requests for help. I am abroad and stranded with limited funds now!

@elonmusk Cat Check: The UK abolished capital punishment 60 years ago. The image in that post is from more than two years ago. The man posted a swastika. He wasn't charged.
