Final thing before I go for a walk in the rain... The business model of online newspapers (who don't have a paywall) is built on the numbers going to their websites. Merely looking at what the website puts money in their pockets. It doesn't matter what your opinion of them is,

If you know someone planning to go to Uni in the next year or two (or their parent). Please ensure they have a listen to this. The changes are both subtle (which is why it's been mainly under the radar) and seismic (which is why the potential cost increase is so substantial)

@Nurseborisbash It’s a shame @bbclaurak didn’t have these graphs to hand when she talked to @SteveBarclay & @AmandaPritchard today. The feeling amongst current HCWs that they’re of so little value is palpable, which’ll lead to many more leaving who may otherwise have decided to stay. #bbclaurak

There is no meat on the bones of this plan when it comes to the main issue within the NHS workforce - retention Improving working conditions, morale and pay need to be done immediately otherwise you’re just filling a leaking bucket

WARNING: In a few hours, stories about the NHS workforce plan will begin to drop (inc ours). NONE of the writers will have seen the actual report - which won't be published until tomorrow morning. This is now a well established tactic from this Gov 1/2

This entire piece is written not on the basis of the actual workplace plan - no report has yet been published - but merely on a government press release. No detail, no proper costings, just how @10DowningStreet chooses to spin it. Devious tactics. https://t.co/5uRQUxN6tn

The government says measures including shorter medical degrees will help plug gaps in the workforce.

Why is no one pointing out this morning the Governments illegal Migration Bill is actually ILLEGAL! A Joint Committee on Human Rights has now published a damning verdict finding it BREACHES A NUMBER OF THE UK’S INTERNATIONAL LEGAL OBLIGATIONS! Why is UK media not all over this?
This is shocking. Rishi Sunak told MP’s his illegal Migration Bill was LEGAL A Joint Committee on Human Rights has now published a damning verdict finding it BREACHES A NUMBER OF THE UK’S INTERNATIONAL LEGAL OBLIGATIONS! So much for honesty! Why is UK media not all over this?
