Proud to represent Sidemoor Ward on Bromsgrove District Council. NHS lifer. Professional MSer. All opinions my own. Retweets are not endorsements.
The surgery will remain open as normal during the Resident Doctors strikes. We fully support the doctors who are seeking pay restoration after years of underfunding. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
It’s not the BMA “undermining the trade union movement”. It’s a Labour Prime Minister, writing in the Murdoch press, urging junior doctors to break with their union leadership. That’s a direct attack on trade unionism. Solidarity with @TheBMA and junior doctors on strike.
Keir Starmer: Resident doctors should break ranks with the BMA leadership. The industrial action that starts on Friday is in no one’s interests and medics should not follow their union down its dangerous and destructive route, he says. thetimes.com/article/3fdcd5…
Ok @wesstreeting, the Internet remembers. We remember. You are what you , not what you say you would do!
Now we know why Rishi Sunak refuses to negotiate with NHS staff. He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure. #PMQs
Just finished nights where we had zero catheters in ED, no working MRI, no aciclovir available for my patient, and skeletal nursing and HCA staffing. I had to scour three stores for a blue cannula… But no… difficult conditions because of the strikes 🤡 #FullPayRestoration
"We did not need to be in this position. These strikes were unnecessary." @WesStreeting explains why 👇 Watch his message to NHS staff continuing to work during strikes.
Guy who gets paid £300 per day just for turning up at a job he inherited, even if he just sits there on his arse, has a dig at a worker who has the audacity to spend his disposable income on something that isn’t essential merely to survive.
That's very inspiring, Chris. What sort of champagne is your favourite? Are all doctors entitled to champagne? Are taxpayers's entitled to champagne, or is it just for doctors?
Salutary lesson for senior colleagues getting enmeshed in the dystopian world of NHS disciplinary procedures. The law does not care that you’re a ‘top doctor’, but it does care that you may have committed perjury.
Sandie Peggie’s legal team has accused a group of senior doctors of defying a legal order in a bid to conceal alleged wrongdoing 👇
It’s genuinely appalling to me when native English speakers have a poor grasp of their own language. Born and raised in the US, college educated, and still saying “I’m bias” (noun) instead of “biased” (adjective)? Sixteen years of schooling and that’s what you have to show for…
The NHS & wider public sector has turned into an utter 🤡 show because Dunning-Kruger lanyard-class grifters promoted beyond their natural levels of competency far outnumber those who are good at what they do in an appropriately qualified role
And no one came to listen?? Colour me surprised
I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.
Once again, unequivocal clarity from @RCPEdin . As you would expect from anyone or anything Scottish 😉. Making an excellent pitch for my £500 a year.
The College has responded to Professor Gillian Leng's review of physician associates and anaesthesia associates. rcpe.ac.uk/news/college-r…
Are the beeb taking the mickey here??
'It's unfair' Stephen Nash from United Medical Associate Professionals reacted on #BBCBreakfast to a review that suggests Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates, who assist doctors in GP surgeries and hospitals, should be known as 'assistants' to avoid confusing…
Steve and Wes going at it in public. There’s something of the Cartland about Steve
What you've done is lose patients 20.8 million appointments per year where they will now fail to have their cancers and illnesses diagnosed in a time frame that allows them to receive beneficial care. The decision to adopt this wholesale, rather than consult, to placate a radical…

It's always weird to see these bizarre claims that the committee is "hard left" or "corbynistas". This is a wave of young people aged typically between 23-35 who see Broken Britain for what it is. Raising rent, raising house prices, raising energy prices, raising leisure…
I would make the 900 mile round trip just for this.
Five African grey parrots were removed from public view at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in the UK after repeatedly swearing at visitors and laughing together. The parrots—Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie—were donated by different owners but quickly bonded.
I’ve waded through the NHS plan and to say I was dismayed is an understatement. @iDrSunny summarises most of my thoughts, without the cussing. It’s a recipe for continued decline, poorer health and avoidable deaths, but profits for the private sector. Shame on @wesstreeting
@dgraemestewart Hallo, the unroll you asked for: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1940697… See you soon. 🤖
I am looking forward to sharing all of the amazing positive stories I have about our PAs here at @sashnhs at the @RCPhysicians EGM this week. I know many of you are feeling low, but please remember how awesome you are and such a valued part of our #oneteam. #Medicineisbrilliant

Again with the veiled threats. This seems to be X 101 for every grifter out there.
I would argue that whilst you have been very successful in creating the narrative of safety concerns, you are yet to substantiate them against the entire profession. I would be very careful about spreading misinformation regarding an entire profession where it may be found you…
Absolutely. People just want what they once had, and took for granted.
For my kids & generations after them, I want a publicly provided, universally available, comprehensive health service provided in real, fully equipped NHS hospitals/GPs in every community by real Drs, real midwives, free according to our need
