£18 - hourly rate for a resident doctor after the 29% rise

£24 - hourly rate for a physicians assistant

If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Streeting and Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors

Since doing the research for this piece which involved me looking at far right content on X, my "for you" X feed (which I now only use for research) is flooded with far right and conspiracist pro Russia propaganda. Incl by Russell Brand ofc.

New post just out:

"The Overshoot"

Net migration is collapsing, and will fall further over the coming years. We could even have net emigration.
