2mins of Hashi Mohamed absolutely smashing the Conservatives Rwanda policy to bits.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

‘Our learned judges said the Home Office hadn’t even assessed that policy before adopting it

It’s unviable, it’s expensive & the only people it’s going to work for is the Rwandans’ #BBCQT

Never heard an applause like this on #bbcqt either.

I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. lucygossage.com/my-reasons-for… #ConsultantsStrike

The NHS is completely BROKEN

It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse)

It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it

RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population

Dr Tony Goldstone The Times and The Sunday Times This is farcical. In my department no one can/will take on the CD role because the pay will cause massive pension taxation.

One colleague had an estimate of an additional single 47K pension bill for a 15K pay increase.

This feels like deliberate destabilisation of the NHS

The extraordinary moment when the great humanitarian & trauma surgeon David Nott met the Queen, shortly after his return from Aleppo.

We now live in a place where opposition MPs are criticised for playing politics, archbishops are condemned for signalling virtue, and lawyers are ostracised for upholding the law. And where Tory MPs who know this leads to a very, very dark place sit on their hands and do nothing.

Enjoying some Sunday morning Devon sunshine, a brief moment of quiet and some reading for Oncology Book Club!

I want to see simple, low key measures like mandatory masks, home working and social distancing brought back ASAP to (a) protect society’s vulnerable members from Covid & (b) help the NHS carry on caring for all our non-Covid patients.

Please RT if you do too.

RT if you feel Duolingo guilt.

Multi-tasking! #btog21
