This video is brilliant. Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties. Doesn't it? The answer is annoying.

I find it unpardonable that Ryanair has refused to refund Stephen Crean , 61, who couldnāt take a flight to Austria to watch his beloved Nottingham Forest due to his mutiple knife injuries incurred courageously saving the lives of passengers on that Huntington train. Ryanair

Dear Wes Streeting, As Health Secretary, you're rightly focused on NHS efficiency, but permitting non-doctorsāphysios, podiatrists, paramedicsāas Surgical Care Practitioners to perform operations like hernia repairs risks patient safety. 1/2
š“ Dear Public, Did you know it is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE for anyone other than a registered veterinary surgeon to operate on animals, yet physios, podiatrists, paramedics, and other non-doctors are allowed to operate autonomously on you/your children as Surgical Care Practitioners

Somehow @wesstreeting has omitted such facts in any of his rhetorical public appearances, re Dr's pay erosion. PAs are being paid more throughout the NHS but he doesn't want the public to know this. Why is the BMA not using this as leverage?

šØNHS surgeons replaced by HCPs with a 2 year practitioner course ā¦.whoāll also be responsible for training RESIDENT DOCTORS? But donāt worry, applicants must have a āBASIC anatomy of the abdomenā?! Itās unbelievable Know your rights Ask for a QUALIFIED SURGEON!
Read this job description. This is a senior surgical registrars job But its not This is direct doctor replacement by a "practitioner" When you go to clinic with your suspected bowel cancer you might not even see a trained surgeon but someone with a 2 year course and "training"

Instead of creating a post that is ST3-equivalent, why not just get an actual ST3?? Dermatology is one of the hardest specialties to get into, there are doctors who would give their right arm for this opportunity. Why have the consultants in this department agreed to this?

Politicians and conservation charities alarmed at changes to Bill opening up Englandās forests to massive renewable energy projects
An incredibly sad piece on the extinction of the Christmas Island Shrew, we need to ensure other wonderful creatures donāt meet the same fate. But @UKLabour donāt care about #nature, they wonāt protect endangered species in their #PlanningBill such as the Hazel Dormouse.

Since 2015, Wes Streeting has accepted Ā£372,000 from private health care links! This should be a illegal for a health secretary in charge of the NHS. Thereās a clear conflict of interest & raises concerns re: probity & integrity Who is the health secretary really working for?
