Dr Andrew Meyerson

Dear 🇬🇧, The @Conservatives engineered the worst staffing crisis in NHS history, now forcing 20k doctors and 40k nurses to leave the NHS every year. They are a threat to your health and they must be far from govt. I spoke to @SkyNews as we began our 11th #DoctorsStrike. #GE2024

Quick reminder: the government wants you to be angry at resident doctors, so that you ignore the fact they’re advancing NHS privatisation.

Please send our letter, demanding clarity. We need to know how Keir Starmer's NHS 10 year plan is being funded. Is this an elaborate plan to turbocharge private partnerships within the NHS? everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/show-us-the-mo…

I really hate it when people say “my taxes pay your wages” to public sector workers. I have never heard a doctor or nurse say “my training, my long nights studying after work, my moving around from job to job, my absorption of £100,000 in student debt saved your life”.

If politicians actually want to rebuild the NHS, they should start by valuing the people who work within it. This is an interview clip from BBC Radio 5Live, with our Chief Exec Dr Julia Patterson.

No doctor today is worth less than they were 17 years ago, as @Melissa_S_Ryan has told Newsnight. That’s why resident doctors in England have voted for industrial action. There’s still time for the Government to listen and avert the strikes.

75% of Britons say they would support a wealth tax proposed by former Labour leader Lord Kinnock of 2% on wealth over £10 million Support: 75% Oppose: 13%

It's worth remembering the previous government wasted over £3,000,000,000 on junior doctor strikes — more than double the cost of settling their whole claim. Looks like this government is set to make the same mistake.

BREAKING: Resident doctors in England have voted by 90% for strike action. Their real pay has fallen by 20.8% since 2008. The British Medical Association says strike dates will be announced in a matter of days unless Wes Streeting offers a credible path to pay restoration.

Dear @WesStreeting, This is a real ad targeting the 20,000 NHS doctors who leave the NHS every year, lured abroad by health systems desperate to plug staff shortages globally. End the staff haemorrhage crisis and restore our pay now. #SOSNHS #DoctorsStrike #FullPayRestoration

Thank you to every single of one of you who voted and supported our campaign. Thank you for your determination to restore pay and value to our eroded profession. We won’t accept another real-terms pay cut. Not now, not ever again. @RossNieuwoudt @Melissa_S_Ryan

The results are in: we have a clear mandate to strike. More than 90% of you who voted in our ballot, voted YES. You’ve made it clear: enough is enough. Our fight for full #PayRestoration for resident doctors in England continues.

Gaza has run out of fuel. Reserves are gone. The last drops are being rationed to keep bare-minimum services alive. No fuel means no water, no food distribution, no health care, no telecoms — 2.1 million lives on the brink. This is no longer a logistical issue — it is life or…

I live in a country that gives military support to another country which is killing thousands of civilians while proscribing an organisation which protests about it.

‘I realise it can make some media outlets nervous, but what we’re seeing here is genocide.’ James Smith, an emergency doctor who has worked in Gaza, says newborn babies dying of starvation is a ‘deliberate policy’ by Israel.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Starmer’s two tier plan to punish anyone who becomes disabled tomorrow is against international human rights law. Now, where can we find a human rights lawyer to point that out to him?

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

When a planned massacre happens at all hours of the day, 24-7, for months, years, it's not a mere massacre. It is genocide. The textbook case of genocide. And it is on our conscience. Each and every one of us, whatever our beliefs, are weighed down by it. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

The killing in Gaza continues Yesterday, June 26, the Israeli military killed 93 people, 9 of whom were waiting for humanitarian aid. ישראל ממשיכה את ההרג בעזה.אתמול, 26.6, הצבא הישראלי הרג 93 בני אדם - מתוכם 9 בעת שחיכו לסיוע הומניטרי.
