@coralivesey How about balloting the membership on the total offer, which includes a pay rise and additional training places?

The removal of 1,000 UK training places for doctors opens the NHS privatisation door still wider.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting (with his tiny majority) is a catastrophic failure for our NHS.
It’s not the doctors’ training places which should be removed, but Wes Streeting.

@thecraftybeggar How many other jobs have had a 30% pay rise in the last two years?
English
They’re deliberately destroying the NHS. They’re not harming doctors, doctors can work anywhere in the world. They’re harming the NHS and patients. One doctor sees an average of 20-30 patients a day. Do the maths! 20-30 thousand patients a day wont get seen.
Dr Haseena Wazir@DrHWazir
Tonight, @Keir_Starmer and @wesstreeting have decided to cut the number of offered specialist training jobs for doctors. Doctors need these jobs to train to become the specialist Consultants and GPs of the future that the NHS so desperately needs. Instead, this Government has decided to make it harder for you to see a specialist and is effectively holding doctors’ jobs hostage. We are already an under-doctored country compared to other OECD countries. In 2025, around 40,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 speciality training jobs. That means tens of thousands of qualified doctors ready to train, ready to work, and ready to treat patients are being turned away every year. The Government can train more specialist doctors when they want to. They are simply choosing not to. Remember this the next time you can’t get an appointment or your surgery is delayed.

@supergeekmike @hecheateddotorg Let's reframe this simple question.
Would you want your daughter to be beaten senseless, possibly suffer long-term brain damage, by a man?
English
@hecheateddotorg Wow, y’all can keep asking different ways, it’s the same answer.
This might shock you, but I rarely ever give much thought to the reproductive organs of my child’s peers.
If she wanted to box someone, and they’re in the same weight class, then sure.
English
Let’s actually break this question down into pieces:
First, Imane Khelif isn’t trans. She’s just a strong woman. So, if you’re asking “would I let my daughter box against a strong woman,” the answer is obviously yes. If she wants to be a boxer, she will have to box strong women.

@supergeekmike Would you let your daughter bid against Iman?
English
@supergeekmike Imane Khelif has admitted that he's a man with DSD & XY chromosomes. He's refused to take a simple sex test because he knows what he is. Why don't you believe him?
English
@MrTimLane We will indeed remember that the BMA refused to put a pay offer to its members &, instead, chose to pursue a ruinous & self-destructive strike, Arthur Scargull style.
The training places were part of the offered pay deal. BMA rejected it & new training places, without mandate.
English
Next time you have to wait to see a specialist remember this ….
Good Morning Britain@GMB
1,000 NHS training posts that were to be created for resident doctors have been cancelled by the Government, after the British Medical Association failed to meet a 48-hour deadline to call off industrial action next week. The Prime Minister issued the ultimatum to try and stop the walkouts. @SwainITV has the latest.
English
@Irene47528822 @AnnabelDenham1 Do you want more doctors or fewer, higher-paid doctors?
English
@JRuari @AnnabelDenham1 Yes a finite pot of money that’s all come down to the funding. Surely more pressing to have more doctors as we have a growing population. IMO we need more doctors than politicians especially those incompetent ones!
English
This is absurd. If we need 4,000 training places we should have them. If we don’t, the Prime Minister shouldn’t be offering them as a bribe paid for by the taxpayer.
English
@SoggyMoggy50 When will you get it through your thick skull that Thatcher did no such thing?
The UK owns the reserves. The UK government sells exploration and development licenses and taxes profitable revenues - at 78%, which is quite heavy.
I bet you think banning drilling is a goodidea.
English
How many times does it need to be explained to BBC “journalists” that *WE* don’t own the produce of the North Sea fields? When will they understand that Thatcher gave it to private companies who trade it on international markets?
What is the point of a BBC “journalist”? #r4today

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband is reported to be planning to count imported electricity as zero‑carbon, letting the UK appear cleaner on paper while still relying heavily on foreign gas‑fired power. It will 'offshore' emissions, energy security and - crucially - tax revenues and jobs.
@KathrynPorter26 describes it as 'cheating'. I think she has a point.

Could it be that a lot of people going on these marches genuinely have no idea what they are supporting, or do they consciously support this murderous, tyrannical regime and therefore the continued suppression of the Iranian people?
English
@Heccles94 @BBCWorld They didn't notice 500,000 people marching because there weren't 500,000 pple marching, @Heccles94. The police said 50,000, which looks generous. It barely filled Trafalgar Square, which has a capacity of around of 30,000.
English
Hi @BBCWorld - just checking in as you seemed to have not get my message about the largest ever march against the far right the UK has seen 👇
Harry Eccles@Heccles94
Hey @BBCNews - you seem not to have noticed the 500,000 people marching through London against the far-right, so I’m just making you aware, cheers then.

When the leader of racist party calls a Jewish journalist - me - ‘parasitic’ simply for reporting that his Jewish family are scared by the direction his ‘Zionism is racism’ party is going in.
This is the true face of the nasty Greens.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
Daily Mail and journalist? Those words don't belong together with your parasitic behaviour. You try your daily nonsense - with a paper that literally backed the fascists - and the Green Party continue to rise. Together - we will win. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

@randomrome @KennyEdw @JohnCleese Is that about the time Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, in your book?
After Justinian, obviously. You may or may not be aware that he was such an enthusiast for slavery & so concerned about Christian teaching that he persecuted them, brutally.
English
@JRuari @KennyEdw @JohnCleese You really do talk some nonsense. 3/4th c is widely accepted as the point at which anti slavery teaching began to spread.
English
The slave trade that had been going on for several thousand years, with Africans and Arabs deeply involved
It was not an idea dreamed up by the British
But they did put an end to it, thanks largely to the Quakers
Straight White British Male@STR8WBM
Lenny Henry and everyone else needs to stop playing victim! Britain was a world leader in abolishing the slave trade!
English
@randomrome @KennyEdw @JohnCleese Hm. "Studying the history". As you seem to have got the facts of the period & the growth of Christianity in the Roman Empire wildly wrong, I don't see much sign of that, tbh.
I wonder if you are familiar with the concept of 'source documents'. St Paul's letters qualify.
English
@JRuari @KennyEdw @JohnCleese Obviously not. My statement is a result of studying the history, not the new testament.
English
@KirstiMiller30 @speakoutsister @MaireadTBTS When? To the best of my knowledge and belief, there has been no biological test in Stanya's case on which any judgement could be based.
English
@speakoutsister @MaireadTBTS The Supreme Court in the UK determined Caster is a biological female.
English
Caster Semenya was, as she herself has said, assigned female at birth, raised as female and has a vagina.
Sex matters appear to describe her in the Reuters piece as "male'.

English
@randomrome @KennyEdw @JohnCleese Ah. It's clear you are unfamiliar with the Letters I mentioned; or the New Testament generally, by the looks of it.
The letters are quite unequivocal: neither Jew not Gentile, slave nor free, all are the same, all are equal.
Christianity was not a religion of the ruling class.

@AndyPeacock999 @BBC6Music @NickyAACampbell @vicderbyshire If you think there were half a million people marching in London yesterday, I have a truckload of Kit-Kats to sell you.
English
Half a million people march in London.
A lorry filled with Kit Kats gets stolen.
Guess which story got bigger coverage on @BBC6Music news?
It was, of course, the lorry.
Any explanation @NickyAACampbell @vicderbyshire ?
English
@JackWDart You follow supporters of the Iranian regime.
Imagine everyone on that demonstration yesterday, slaughtered & their bodies left on the streets. Then your family has to pay to be allowed to collect your body.
That's who you followed.
Ask yourself honestly: who's the "far right"?
