As a NHS consultant i can categorically confirm that this never happens in my unit or any other unit i have worked at- and without "migrants" (doctors, nurses, other staff) my unit and many others could not deliver NHS care. Lets move away from this racist nonsense Yours sincerely A second generation migrant (and professor of cardiology / nhs consultant) #NHS @nhs_voices @NHSMillion @NHSuk

A shocking claim from an NHS whistleblower: Nurse: “We have no choice, we’re told to do it, we have to do it.” According to the whistleblower, nurses and doctors are being instructed to prioritize migrants over British citizens, leaving locals to wait weeks or even months for critical healthcare. Questions are mounting about policy, fairness, and accountability in the UK’s healthcare system, should access be equal, or are some getting preferential treatment?

BBC confirms the US is responsible for the Minab school massacre that killed 175 people, mostly girls. The "advanced" AI targeting system used outdated coordinates to hit a base next door, ignoring satellite images showing kids playing in the courtyard. Absolute war crime.

Just imagine if these rags led with headlines like: • OIL GIANTS BANK RECORD PROFITS WHILE BRITAIN FREEZES • SUPERMARKETS RAMP UP PRICES AS EXECUTIVES POCKET MILLIONS • BILLIONAIRES BUY UP HOMES — FAMILIES PRICED OUT • BOSSES CASH IN WHILE WORKERS SKIP MEALS A girl can dream…

At this press conference in Cuba alongside Jeremy Corbyn, Kneecap were asked if they’d be doing a gig while they’re there. They said, “No, Cuba has suffered enough.” 😂

At the Salvador Allende hospital in Havana today, when the Puerto Rican delegation brought their huge suitcases of medicine in. The entire U.S. government didn't want this to happen, and the activists made sure Cuban doctors would get supplies anyway. Incredible people.

“Body after body, tiny little bodies are being carried to their graves” CNN documented the funeral of four young Lebanese children buried together by their mother, the oldest is 13 and the youngest is only 6 years old, who were killed in an Israeli airstrike while playing together in their family home. The strike wiped out almost the entire family. Since March 2, at least 110 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon

Because she is infinitely cool, the woman who invented the Men B vaccine that is saving lives is called Professor Pizza. Is that not the coolest name? She is, of course, Italian. She is still a working scientist and tutor at Imperial and often the scientists doing the research don't get the credit they deserve. Thank you Prof Pizza

The systematic undermining of general practice has consequences that you can't even imagine. When #1 was 2 weeks old, he developed a fever, was grey and floppy with a bulging fontanelle. I called the GP OOH and he was seen within half an hour of my call. IM benzylpenicillin and a week in hospital. That OOH GP saved his life, no question. He has just been offered a place to do an MSc in mathematical and theoretical physics at Oxford - unbelievably competitive. Do I think today's 111 would have achieved the same? Not a chance.

6300 Neighbourhood Health Centres already in walking distance of 90% of the population Cost to bring hospital to community just 1.5% of NHS budget £50 per patient per year Yet @wesstreeting doesn’t want to do it instead it’s 43 centres rather than investing in GP practices

Tony Benn's "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?" Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

The BMA@TheBMA·
Yesterday's Covid‑19 Inquiry report found that extraordinary efforts by healthcare staff prevented the NHS from collapsing during the pandemic. Doctors and their colleagues carried this burden at immense personal cost. They worked in unsafe conditions, faced trauma and moral injury, as well as burnout that many are still living with today. The inquiry makes clear how close the system came to failure, and how reliant it was on staff going far beyond what should ever be expected. Read our full response 👉 bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

That’s nonsense because many of the people who get what he calls welfare do in fact Work. And much of this total is paid to pensioners in return for their national insurance and they would certainly not consider it welfare. But it’s fake statistics like these that can influence peoples beliefs.
Matthew Elliott@matthew_elliott

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

Some of the medical aid I’ve brought directly with me to Cuba, as Trump tries to strangle the Cuban people. Today we’ll be receiving tonnes more as the Nuestra America Aid Convoy arrives. Aid is arriving all the time from Britain thanks to solidarity. Donate to Viva Cuba below.
