In 1981, 12 young men in Bradford were arrested for preparing to defend their community from fascists. 4 decades on, I spoke to them about their trial & the solidarity that helped secure their freedom. The Bradford 12 case was a pivotal moment in British legal history.🧵

One of 28 testimonies from resident doctors who’ve worked at Spire. Almost all concerned about the workload & patient safety.
