I managed to get a little sleep.
Now reading the reports

It was an attack on civilians –
many residential buildings were hit.
There are casualties.

No Wes Streeting, the BMA is not acting like a cartel. It’s acting like a trade union. And frankly it’s disgusting to hear you talk like this while huge numbers of doctors can’t get NHS jobs because you haven’t created them, while millions of patients are on waiting lists🚨🚨🚨
