This move shows the shocking reality of the NHS crisis and is yet further proof that a major incident must now be declared across London. The Health Secretary must act now to save the capital's hospitals from being overwhelmed.
EXCL: Yet another sign of the pressure in the NHS, as leaked email says from today London Ambulance Service crews will only wait 45 mins at hospitals before handing over patients. Will mean more waiting on trolleys in corridors with hospital staff stretched even more thinly.

Doing the rounds on social media atm from an anonymous colleague. Every single example resonates as we’re all facing the same horrors in our own departments. @RishiSunak @SteveBarclay where is the plan to fix this? Do you want this experience for your own family?

In the mid-90s I set fire to myself. My sister and her husband arrived for dinner from the Isle of Wight. I turned up the gas on the stove and threw the pasta into the boiling water. 1/18

Seen some shitty headlines about the ambulance strikes today. My dad has been (and is) very poorly for the last few months and we have had to call the ambulance several times. These professionals are incredible. I don't have the words to express our gratitude and relief for...

When people ask what a collapse of the NHS would look like, it's this, it's already here. It's not going to be bricked up hospitals and no one answering 999, it's going to be lowering standards and rationing care. Acknowledging we can no longer help everyone who calls.

Do you think Johnson statement tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? If so press LIKE. If on the other hand you think it is the deluded self-serving bullshit of a disgraced lying lawbreaker press RETWEET

The Govt’s first act since Johnson got back from holiday… Was not to address the cost of living crisis No It was to draft a proposal to strip the Electoral Commission of its power to launch its own criminal prosecutions for breaches of election law. https://t.co/kt33QKNa6e

The plan to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission has been likened to "giving a toddler a gun - It may not immediately lead to disaster but it is an extremely dangerous thing to do"

Liz Truss looks to be winning a decisive victory for cold-eyed conservatism. A victory for I went to the school of hard knocks and university of real-life conservatism. For I never asked for charity...

Just been accused on here of being a “champagne socialist” (again). Amazing how many people don’t realise that is a compliment, not an insult. “Realise you’re lucky enough to have a comfortable life but want a fairer society for those who don’t? How dare you!” 🤦🏻♂️

Having written previously about the @HoCPrivileges investigation into the Prime Minister, I hesitated to do so again. However, given recent comments by @NadineDorries & others, I thought it worth a short 🧵 particularly in circumstances where former colleagues may be constrained.
