Half of trainee British doctors finishing this summer had no job lined up. Yet the NHS is poaching foreign doctors. One in six of Nigeria's are now in the UK. The real scandal isn't pay: it's a broken training pipeline. My column:- https://t.co/3wT78HLfnE

Today’s @thetimes column can be summed up in one word: HARRUMPH https://t.co/Mj3zsQPZIS
I liked @HadleyFreeman 's point (in Sunday Times re the new "Civilisations") about not seeing the past as "just like us". I would like it I guess, because (advert alert) it is one of the things I discuss in my next book, "Talking Classics", out in April.

My take on the Budget. - big tax rises but no effort at reform - welfare spending raised by c£10bn since March - debt still rising. Just 52% chance of meeting target - U turns on tax & welfare indicate no strategy or sense of direction https://t.co/AZi2alR5w6
