overconfidence in his own ability doesn’t allow Streeting to appreciate his total inadequacy as health secretary.Spends his time manipulating figures re waiting lists etc to convince the public re improvement, when he is aware nothing has improved &never will with him in charge!

As an NHS Ambulance medic I shouldn't accept anything from a pt or their relatives, and if I did, I would have to advise my duty manager. It would appear there are no rules for those who make the rules!. Streeting is a corrupt piece of Right wing, Mandelaon tutored filth.

@DrHuw They’ll pay for a physio to pretend to be a doctor in an ED, or a paramedic to run an ICU instead of a doctor, but don’t see the need to train doctors. They are imbeciles. Why aren’t the colleges fighting this bullshit?

Government donations ought to be declared.

@mjdaly57 @NHSuk

On the various Register of Interests web sites you’ll see a few MPs listing donations for office/staff recruitment etc/campaigning purposes. But for the most part there is no accountability as to where the money goes. I honestly don’t believe the system is robust at all with many MP simply putting down ‘sundries’ for a whole raft of claims. Others putting down false names for donors. The ‘expenses scandal’ still persists.

The @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Wes has received £587,259.00 in donations.  @Keir_Starmer @LucyMPowell @darrenpjones @patmcfaddenmp @AndyBurnhamGM @mainstreamlbr @CompassOffice @LabourList @karinsmyth @SKinnock @RhonddaBryant @RichardBurgon @DrRosena @PeterPrinsley @BeccyCooper4Lab @PauletteHamilto @JoshFG  @KeeleyMP @premnsikka @SocialistHealth @LordPhilofBrum @Jacqui_Smith1 @Damejuliemoore @ShaunDaviesMP @ShrewsLabour @PreetKGillMP @labourlewis @johnmcdonnellMP @jowhite__ _ @LordJohnMann @Jonathan_Hinder @LeePitcherMP @ZackPolanski @RhunapIorwerth @mabonapgwynfor @natalieben @CommonsHealth @drlukeevans @HelenMorganMP

A bit of background info on Wes Streeting that you won’t have been given in his TV interviews today - particularly in regard to discussions about junior doctors and the @NHSuk There will have been no mention of the amount of money Wes has received from wealthy private healthcare providers in donations. The @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Wes has received £587,259.00 in donations. These include: £237,900.00 from the multimillionaire, private healthcare provider and Labour donor Peter Hearn. £80,000 from the billionaire banker and hedge fund manager John Armitage. £11,500 from Labour donor Sir Trevor Chinn. £34,500 from the entrepreneur, banker and Labour donor Anthony Watson. £37,000 from the consortium Labour For The Long Term @Labourlongterm £3,143 from @unisontheunion £15,000 from Labour donor Ruth Driscoll of @mariecurieuk £5,000 from the once prominent Tory Lord Phillip Harris. £2,000 from the @CommunityUnion £5,000 from the software company @CalyxSoftware £5,000 from Labour donor Richard Parker. £14,600 from Lord Alli. £16,000 from Labour donor Linda Riley. £20,000 from Labour donor Francesca Sainsbury Perrin. With his £159,038 salary, expenses (£33,653.91 claimed in the past year), generous donations, allowances and perks, Wes is prospering very nicely at Westminster. On 9th July 2025 Wes voted for the Universal Credit/PIP cuts that will result in further hardship for people who are disabled and vulnerable. Wes also voted to scrap the #WinterFuelPayment to vulnerable pensioners 🥶 and voted to retain the two child benefit cap which ‘significantly contributes to child poverty’ in the UK. @UKLabour @wesstreeting @IlfordNorthCLP @JuniorDocStrike

And what ‘favours’ are they expecting in return, I wonder? No doubt the donor considers the ‘donation’ a good investment.

I’ve been doing this GP malarkey for nearly 20y now. It struck me today that the only way I can carry on practising the way I used to is if I do it at my own personal expense. It never used to be like this - there was enough time in the day for bereavement visits, wellbeing checks, proactive care, time with colleagues to discuss patients & build relationships. General practice today is decision making at the same speed as a shoot-em-up game. Today was just me for 55 same day requests for appointments, clinical supervision of three members of staff, medical student education, paramedic education and all routine needs for a population of 1250 patients. We’re fortunate to have personal lists - though the new contract doesn’t value the continuity at all - and that matters to me deeply. Leaving work at 7, I decided to pop in to a patient of mine that I’ve known for 14y. In their 80s, they’ve just had joint replacement surgery and are having a bit of a wobble. We had a chat, they felt better, we have a plan & I’ll check in next week. This is the kind of GP I want to be. My day would have been less frantic, I’d have eaten/urinated at a sensible time, and I’d would have been less snappy with the children whom I saw briefly before bed if there hadn’t been so much nonsense crowding my day: 25 mins on hold trying to get through to a specialist (and failing), an insurance company slyly demanding a conversation with me about a non-urgent issue because it saves them money, dealing with consequences of private tests not requested by me but with the inevitable ‘see your GP’ as disposition, missing discharge medication, delayed follow-up, inappropriate ‘GP to’ as the heart failure team have a waiting list - and much more. Commissioning gaps, poor clinical pathway planning, govt targets on access over quality, media perpetuation of entitlement over responsibility and disproportionate investment & expansion of specialists over general practice have caused this. This is not ‘part time’ GP working - as a partner that’s never a thing. This is expectations from everywhere without resourcing to match. We want to deliver the things we did 20y ago - that’s why we went into this. If you want your family doctor back then you need to support us - because we want to be that too. I’m a GP, but also a Mum, wife and daughter of aged parents. I can’t do this at my own expense any more, and nor should I have to. Arguments of laziness and greed always abound, but really what we need is a properly resourced service. Please stand with us - a fight is coming.

BREAKING: 🚨 🇺🇸 🤡 Hegseth declares victory, again “Never in history has a country been defeated as Iran has… we wiped it off the face of the earth.” Then who is still being pummelling Israel? Who is blocking the strait of Hormuz? What a fkn clown.

@Jean_Jeannie1 @SKinnock This disgraceful obstruction of GP referrals to 2ry care is a lame attempt by @wesstreeting to give a false appearance of improvement in waiting lists.The public won’t be fooled for long &he will then dream up yet another form of deception instead of genuinely solving the problem

@SKinnock Let me rewrite that for you....'we've reduced hospital waiting lists by not allowing GPs to refer patients straight to a specialist without performative A&G rubbish that is as clear as mud. Lists go down when you stop people joining You are such a crushing disappointment

Doctors' surgeries are the front door of the NHS. The changes we've made mean that more patients now say that accessing their GP is easier. By working with GPs we have also reduced pressures on hospital waiting lists. Lots done, lots more to do.

So much for ‘supervision’! How many important diagnoses are being missed & how much irreparable damage done by ill-equipped dr substitutes, totally unaware of the inadequacy of their knowledge/training to diagnose/treat undifferentiated patients, especially in General Practice.

@drlukeevans And will the A+G be responded to by consultants only? I have examples where nurses are responding.

@Anisocyte @Jean_Jeannie1 @HillsBekki15323 @DrJoFranklin @rheumipainmask @Megsenmumdr @medicalmodelbri @jim_crawfurd @Xeon4f145d96s1 @gold103x I think you misunderstand. RCEM feels a basic PgDip & few simple forms filled in on - chest & abdo pain - cardiac arrest - infections Is equal to 5 year degree, 2 year foundation work & 3-7 years specialty training work. Covers the rota gaps of starving doctors training!

Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on war in Iran: “This is a war of naked aggression by two mentally unstable individuals… this is not a war where people debate what happened. It is very clearly understood that this is a war without any justification whatsoever.”

It's a bloody travesty. We must pass a law which unequivocally states that money earned in Britain must be taxed in Britain, irrespective of where the earner is domiciled. Cheating the public in this way has been going on for far too long.

@unusual_whales When billions move before a major geopolitical announcement, it’s not just volatility, it raises serious questions about who had access to information and when. #Markets #InsiderTrading #WallStreet #Geopolitics

There are huge cuts being made in the NHS. This is a CHOICE by this government. 🤬 Unfunded ambitious 10 year plan. 🤬 Pay rise for NHS staff not enough. 🤬 Always money for private health companies and war. #WesChangeYourPlans independent.co.uk/news/health/nh…
