They aren’t “climate sceptics”, they are greedy men and women with a vested interest in fossil fuels who manipulate the congenitally stupid on the alt right. Can we please stop using this term and replace it with something more akin to who they really are. Planet killers.

And this morning, I have found out... It's not just Rishi. Let's get something clear now, between us: The Tories are closing down Telford A&E. They are switching it to an Urgent Treatment Centre which will be treating people who "don't need a comprehensive emergency department

For those who are not currently members of the 99% Organisation, here is a copy of this week's letter to members. If Sunak is sunk, what next for the far-right? sh1.sendinblue.com/ajy2v62bglpfe.…

Starmer has managed more good in less than 12 hours than Johnson managed in 4 years Almost double Johnson’s majority ✔️ Speech that had me crying with relief not rage ✔️ Appointed a team of experts ✔️ Cancelled Rwanda ✔️ Public service ✔️ Thank god #Hope

Ok. Now it’s time to put UK residents first and allow them to apply for round 1 and then have a round 2.

The argument that “we need PAs due to a GP shortage” is a lie. The “NHS GP shortage” is deliberate & entirely manufactured 15036 doctors applied for 4096 GP training posts **10,940 doctors** were unsuccessful We have the doctors! NHSE are ensuring there are NO jobs for them!

The NHS GP shortage is indeed deliberate & manufactured. A national scandal in plain sight to leave 1000s of would-be GPs unemployed or untrained while quietly replacing them with PAs as GP substitutes.

These stats, just released, are a national scandal. Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year. Yet NHS England is letting only 4000 of them do so. Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs. Many replaced with PAs - madness.

Yet we have 1500 PAs in primary care growing to 6000 in 8 years Yet patients can’t see their GP And non GPs are far less productive and effective Go figure

The future we’re headed towards: a dilute NHS; devoid of expertise Here’s my experience of working a set of nights in my local hospital, in a deprived part of the UK, which relies largely on MAPs/Non-doctors at a perilous cost. (All accounts suitably anonymised) 🧵1/4

Competition ratios in 🇬🇧 released The total lack of thought around jobs vs performative “oh, we will create new med school places” is playing out as predicted This is not a mistake These concerns were raised by myself & others *pre-COVID* I’d ask you to come to your own

Competition ratios getting worse Doctors out of jobs While public can’t see doctors on time Meanwhile? NHS England Workforce, Training and Education continuing with PA plan -roles which financially can’t survive without replacing doctors Do you folks have like any ..strategy apart from “Fill out a survey”

Top GCSEs/A-levels, competitive degree application, difficult 5/6 years, 100k of debt on graduation, flung randomly around the UK, paid an insulting wage, replaced by lesser trained staff, no training numbers, no post CCT jobs. The fight continues, but I for one am tired.

Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Today you will hear a lot about broken Labour promises from the Conservatives. So here’s a little reminder of theirs: David Cameron “we have absolutely no plans to raise VAT” They raised it from 17.5% to 20% David Cameron “I wouldn’t change child benefit, I wouldn’t means test

51 dead in Spain due to catastrophic floods… Spain Not some far away place you can’t relate to Spain But sure, keep listening to politicians & shills bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry instead of people who dedicate their lives to understanding climate change.

Chancellor "I will shortly be appointing our covid corruption commissioner" #Budget

Feel a rare sense of relief watching the budget. From what I can tell, no regular people are getting fucked, the rich are taking the hit, cap gains increased, public services and NHS getting long overdue investment. Considering the hell Labour has inherited this is impressive.
