Good grief. A politician with a brain and integrity and concern for what’s in the national interest. Starting to think I’d never see that again in my lifetime.

Reform UK MPs turn up to parliament to vote less than any other party. Over half of Reform MPs have been caught evading tax. Reform LTD itself has been caught evading tax. The Reform UK leader is currently embroiled in Both a tax scandal in the UK and a fraud scandal in

7.5 million patients on NHS waitlist Doctors being replaced by non doctors costing the tax payer far more (in salary and costs of worse outcomes) Patients begging for appointments for doctors Yet Wes is blackmailing resident doctors with ‘more posts’ as a bargaining chip in
Resident doctors strikes are completely unnecessary and irresponsible. My team and I have been talking to the BMA in good faith and are prepared to negotiate on jobs and conditions. They’ve had a 28.9% pay rise. We can’t go further now. But we can address jobs and conditions👇🏻

The Reform UK candidate for Caerphilly was the assistant to a Russian Asset, Nathan Gill. Why is this not bigger news?

🔴 Dear Physician Assistants, Your colleagues could not recognise any of the red flags in a kiddy with abnormal gait and foot dragging, and fobbed her off with the diagnosis of “growing pains” ☠️ ⭕️ You didn’t have proper training in performing a decent neurological

The atmosphere in general practice in England is so toxic now. GPs telling me how they had hope this govt would be on their side now saying they have totally opposite opinion with govt making lives harder and care less safe. Access to a GP harder with govt changes…

You have to wonder at the ecological illiteracy and vandalism of this Labour government. 85% of the world's rare chalk streams are in the UK and the government can't even care enough to protect these. Starmer will have zero credibility at COP20.
Government abandons plan to save English chalk streams Environmental campaigners have urged ministers to protect rare waterways under threat from pollution and extraction https://t.co/vch6Unb2Ba

We’re over 40,000 doctors short of comparable nations. Yet over 1,000 fully qualified UK doctors are unemployed. Rising waiting lists and GP shortages are the result of deliberate political choices. This is a system that is failing both doctors and patients.

Politicians trade insults across the dispatch box Meanwhile GPs are underfunded, GPs unemployed and patients are being let down by both @UKLabour and @Conservatives Neither is providing the GPs for patient care Don’t believe them
Proud that our investment in GP surgeries has seen patient satisfaction move back in the right direction - after more than a decade of Conservative neglect and incompetence. We didn't start the fire, but we’re putting it out and re-building the house.

To keep the best you need to work on retaining them. Doctors that will become these future decision makers are not being retained. The system and the individuals spend 10 years or more to become a GP and we lose nearly 30% of them the moment they graduate

@docib Hi Dr Beardsell Thanks for engaging on here - it’s refreshing. What I’ve seen from most 99.9% of ‘leaders’ in the NHS is that they run away from any scrutiny or conversation especially when there may be any form of possible accountability or just gaslight, deflect and then
As NHS bring in McKinsey to help them understand why productivity is down despite extra cash and more staff, I explore why reducing the collective skillset and knowledge base of our workforce; doctors, nurses, PAs, pharmacists etc has been key in this 🧵 https://t.co/1G3RSWfoDY

Reform is tipped to win next week in Caerphilly, a bellwether election because Reform is coming for Wales first, then the UK. Yet close to zero scrutiny of the candidate, Llyr Powell’s relationship with his former boss & friend, Nathan Gill. Why? Please read on & share 1/

Subsidising meals in the House of Commons for MPs is thought to cost the UK taxpayer up to £7 million a year. Despite an ongoing cost of living crisis and huge food price inflation we are paying for our MPs to scoff on cheap fine dining. https://t.co/zL3qa436UY

MPs can earn around £91,346 per annum but they can also tuck into discounted food while working in Westminster

The public may be shocked to learn that there is NO MANDATORY TRAINING for pharmacists in 🏴to become diagnosticians as part of the Pharmacy First scheme. None. Nada. Zero. Let that sink in! How @rcgp & @NHSE_WTE let that happen I’ll never understand. @NickDixonITV @GMB
