📢 I have a message for Rishi Sunak ahead of the #G20India summit this weekend: seek the release of British citizen, Jagtar Singh Johal, who has been unlawfully detained for almost six years. 📢 Will you join me? secure.reprieve.org/page/134413/pe…

Very happy to announce that our group is growing and we are joined by a new PhD student and a Daphne Jackson Trust post doctoral research fellow to work on urgently needed projects in #braintumour research. Look out for further details, there may be even more updates to come.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.

Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

This Government is funding a prison illegally detaining children in North East Syria. Some are as young as nine years old. They’re starving and many are seriously injured and dying. Rishi Sunak, stop the abuse against children in UK-funded prisons there! shorturl.at/akKV3

BBC Breakfast It’s pay restoration …

The #JuniorDoctorsStrike is about the health of the nation .. in the now and in the future. Health remains the most important parameter for a country to be economically viable long term .. quibbling and denying a £5 increase for #payrestoration is shortsighted at the least.

Vice chancellors: 'UCU action had an isolated impact'

The action:

#ucuRISING

海外では豊富な執刀経験があっても助手が出来ない外科医は少なくない。一方で、執刀もしてないのにちゃんと助手ができる日本の外科修行はどうなってるんだ？と逆に不思議がられる。そんなときは「ニンジャ」って答えてる。What？って言われるけど「ただ耐え忍んだ者」なのでたぶん間違ってない。

The first day of UCU strike action, next Wednesday on February 1st, will be coinciding with a national mass coordinated strike.

This will be the biggest day of strike action since the general strike of 1926.

IMPORTANT THREAD for those who want to show their support 🧵

The Department of Health wasted £15 billion on unused Covid supplies.

Money that could have been used to give NHS staff the pay they deserve.

Please RT so everyone can be aware.
