1/ BREAKING: Full Fact call out the untruths told by Steve Barclay on BBC Radio 4 Today about consultants pensions

2/ Responding to the false claim that consultants get a TAX FREE pension of £73k they said "This is incorrect, as pensions are considered a form of income and are therefore subject to tax rules like other forms of income."

3/ Responding to the false claim that consultants can expect a pension of £73k Full Fact pointed out the SOS numbers are all over the place "significantly higher than the “£60,000-plus” pension Mr Barclay quoted in an article for The Times and The Sunday Times on 16 July 2023. He also quoted a

Full Fact The Times and The Sunday Times 4/ The BMA correctly pointed the £73k figure was “misleading” to suggest the figure of £73,000 was typical, as “pensions are highly individual and will depend on factors such as retirement age, working patterns etc.”

Full Fact The Times and The Sunday Times The BMA 5/ This is because amongst many other factors typical retirement ages are around 60 (and 59 for GPs), so why use a highly misleading figure that does not represent current practice. x.com/goldstone_tony…

Full Fact The Times and The Sunday Times The BMA 6/ In addition figures need to reflect the actual demographics of the workforce, pensions are much lower for women who more often take time out for childcare and less than full time working vs working continuously / full time in the NHS x.com/goldstone_tony…

You hold the data, so why not provide the average. The whole point is that Mr. Barclays claim did not account for working patterns,

Full Fact The Times and The Sunday Times The BMA NHS Business Services Authority NHS Pensions 8/ and membership (which will look very different for men vs women retirees) so why not just provide the average, or better still the average consultant, and the average for men and women? Then we will see if those pensioners get £73k or not (or £73k after tax = £115,658!!!)

Full Fact The Times and The Sunday Times The BMA NHS Business Services Authority NHS Pensions 9/ Thank you to Tony Thompson Full Fact for setting the record straight - I hope justin webb BBC Radio 4 Today will now also set the record straight If we want to fix the (dire) problems with the NHS, we need to start having *HONEST* conversations about the problems. RT if agree

In a world exclusive, Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan spoke with me about the ongoing bombing of Gaza, civilian deaths, the massacres of October 7, and what she calls “a glaring double standard” in the west’s reaction to all this. Watch our full conversation.

The far right paying their respects to the war dead. Absolute disgrace. ⁦Suella Braverman MP⁩ this is on you

The BMA Philip Banfield 💙 Dr Latifa To those critical of the BMA message, what happened on the 7th of October has already been condemned. Nevertheless the BMA stance is with what is currently happening on a daily basis. With a need of immediate action to prevent further suffering on a massive scale.
