My so not guilty pleasure. Top Gun (2) to take me back to the joys of being a teenager. Champagne on a plane to remind me I’ll never have the angst of being a teenager again.

Please read whole 🧵 & share widely/RT

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.

At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.

Let’s dig deeper:

For those worried about patient safety during the strikes, care is being provided by some of the most highly trained and skilled consultant and SAS doctors in the world. The strikes are needed to retain our doctors in training to ensure that can persist in future. #DoctorsStrike
