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🚨🚨🚨
Pinned tweet to honour the junior doctors coming out on strike today.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

So the NHS drugs bill has been put on the table to satisfy Trump with no additional Treasury funds to meet that £3 billion spend? That's a rubbish deal for the NHS and will cripple the service further. They will put the entire NHS on the table next. We should all join the Residents on strike.

The court has rightly pressed DOJ to protect the identities of Epstein victims before it publicly releases additional materials. Revealing PII without victims' permission would be a shocking betrayal of trust and violation of DOJ's own policies.
Judge seeks to shield Epstein victims after dozens of names exposed in documents release
Lawyers representing hundreds of victims said dozens of their names appeared unredacted in documents and emails released by Congress this month.

Comes the rain (good soaking after 3 days of drizzle preparation), comes the fresh Dandelions.
Aaaarrggghhh!
If you tell me to preserve the Dandelions, good for lawns, bees, etc, I'll yell at you.
They're doomed, regardless of their numbers.

I see Nigel Farage seems to have survived evidence of overt antisemitic behaviour from his teens and constituents of Clacton voicing anger at his greed and dereliction of his duty as an MP. Can’t find any demands for his resignation.

A Mirror probe shows that Nigel Farage has made £140,000 from the Cameo messaging platform - but spoken in Parliament just 22 times and mentioning his Clacton constituents on just three occasions.

My friends, there is no ‘Department of War’ or ‘Secretary of War’ in America.
There is a Department of Defense and a Secretary of Defense.
Neither has the right to murder.
“Kill them all” is a confession to murder under American law.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
