Left Twitter several years ago. I was @Virtualresistance. So here I am. New handle. Taking up where I left off. Learning, informing I hope. Fighting for #NHS and against injustice to sick, disabled, poor & vulnerable. Holding politicians to account.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Hello! My name is Julia but everyone calls me Ju. I’m a doctor but I gave up my medical career to fight for the NHS. Right now the non-profit I run (EveryDoctor) is running a really important campaign and 102 MPs are involved so far.
Could you possibly help me to reach more people on Bluesky?🤞💙

Children accounted for the biggest rise of any social group falling into poverty a shocking new report has found - a record 36%, or 5.2 million children are now in deprivation

King Charles is the equivalent of the Victorians who used to run workhouses with slave labour, but opened soup kitchens so a few less would starve to death.
Except of course that he is far richer than any of those Victorian slave drivers ever were.
