8/ Government need to urgently change plans regarding the timing of thie and/or put in place full mitigation so noone is forced to make these decisions, and take a cut in their pension by simply staying in work. They must also immediately #FixNegativePIAs Please share & RT

Regarding the increasing cost of HS2 and potentially the train line not even going in to central london (!!), can't we just ask for a grant from the EU 🇪🇺? 💙 BBC Radio 5 Live #hs2

This seems to be a chink of light and mentions both annual allowance and LTA. If it stops the NHS haemorrhaging senior staff then that would be a good thing but as ever, let's wait and see. ⁦Dr Tony Goldstone⁩ ⁦Graham Crossley (NHS Pension Wonk)⁩ ⁦Vishal Sharma⁩ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…

My goodness, how have not drowned under all the BS, which also attracts invertebrates and leaves a nasty smell as well?

Finally Trusts will appreciate that doctors understand what their EXTRACONTRACTUAL work is worth. Trusts don't refuse to pay agency rates for locum staff. Trusts never seem to have a problem paying lawyers their professional fees, nor moan about it. HCSA – the hospital doctors' union The BMA

Well this is a step in the right direction, but the annual allowance doesn't go far enough. It is also very difficult to make sensible life decisions when they fiddle with rules every year. ⁦Dr Tony Goldstone⁩ Pension pot boost for nearly 2m Britons thetimes.co.uk/article/dae314…

Very sad to hear that IM UK Bolton is no longer continuing, it will become a 70.3, and IM Stafford 70.3 is to be dropped totally. These were my first two Ironman events in 2016 and I raced well behind lucy gossage in both of them! IRONMAN Triathlon Ironman 70.3 UK

Just after midnight I heard Paul Kaye voice those famous words again, "You Are An Ironman" Amazing crowd support from the locals, thank you IRONMAN Triathlon

It's gratifying to read that one of the news organisations in the UK are accurate over the NHS consultants strike, shame about BBC News (UK) Sky News and the others.

1/ 🧵I can't keep up with Mr Barclay's claims about consultant's pensions, last month (17th July The Times and The Sunday Times) it was £60,000 pensions, now the claim is "consultants when they retire *now* aged 65 will get a *tax-free* pension of £73,000" ?!

Thank you Harry for this. Just listened after reading your Times article, genuinely moved me to a tear 😢. Hopefully hear a few more Manchester United victories announced like the good old days 🤞

So important that you keep highlighting the blatant political machinations behind this pay dispute. Happy Holidays Dr Tony Goldstone !
