@BareLeft Agreed & we need the NHS. Some may not know it until they need it & cannot afford private treatment which the invoice will include private profit.

This is about the amount needed for full pay restoration to Junior Doctors. Actually, it's £600 million less after tax and NI are accounted for.
Instead, it's going to private equity firms and tax shelters.
The "private sector" needs the NHS. Not the other way around.
English
@XelenX1 Nothing to forgive. Their pay should be restored. Other organisations should do the same. You have to fight for rights now more than ever. Wake up people support the Drs before we no longer have the NHS. The agenda behind the government is sinister.
English
Forgive resident Drs when we just don't buy the "there's no money" argument.
Dr Shivam Sharma@DocShivSharma
We’re told we can’t afford doctors. But we can afford £1.6 BILLION in profits for private companies. These are deliberate choices to move NHS money into private hands, not frontline care. The government's privatisation of the NHS isn't so secret anymore.
English
@Skint_Eastwood1 They should lead by example, but of course they are the ‘elite’. They do not mind abusing & funding their privileged positions & would not subject themselves to a lower pay rise as is experienced by other public services. Hypocrisy NHS Drs comes to mind

🚨Taxpayers Are Funding MPs’ Food and Alcohol
UK taxpayers are subsidising MPs’ food and alcohol in Parliament, while they already enjoy high salaries and generous allowances.
Why should our elected elites get this special treatment at our expense?
Time to scrap these taxpayer-funded perks.
Make MPs pay their own way.
English
@pash22 @AlannahFrancis1 All patients are expendable now unless you can afford private healthcare. Also private healthcare does not do all the operations done by the NHS.

‘I thought I was seeing a GP not a physician associate: a week later I was in A&E’.
Daniel Harris said he was given just 20 minutes to live when he arrived at A&E after being misdiagnosed twice by physician associates inews.co.uk/news/thought-s… via @AlannahFrancis1

@SaulStaniforth They have been waiting since 2008 like other public sector establishment. Except for MPs & all the other ‘ expenses’ they get from the tax payer. They should practice what they preach shouldn’t they.
English
Wes Streeting continues to trot out the lie that the BMA expects him to have solved all the resident doctors problems in just 2 years.
They don't. They never have. Yes they want pay restoration but they've been clear this can be spread out over several years.

@jomickane Psychopaths don’t care if they lie or don’t answer a question. If you oppose them or call them out you will receive revenge. They also believe they are entitled . Put in a powerful position they are dangerous.

I have never known any Prime Minister or leader tell as many obvious lies & talk so much bullshit in my life.... does he not think anyone will notice 🤷♀️. And as if he's blaming Trump and Putin for our high energy prices 😯. He shouldnt be allowed to get away with it 🤬... and his damn voice 😬🙉

@jude22118 @GBNEWS Yes Lowe should be on GB news. I thought this channel was the alternative to other news. It’s time he was seen on them all. People need to ‘meet him’ who do not know of him.
English
I want Rupert Lowe on @GBNEWS. He represents me and thousands more, and we want him on the show. If not, we should boycott GB News.
You are happy to have the left on there, so why not the true right too? What are you scared of?
Thumbs up if you're with me 👍🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧👍👍👍

@UKLabour are a delusional bunch of misfits that will be removed by the great British people one way or another
Orla Minihane@orlaminihane
And this my friends is why we are in the mess we are in, because these absolute muppets believe they are actually doing a good job! Unbelievable ! Good name- “Tapp” as he couldn’t run a bath !! @MikeTappTweets

@Normanjam67 You are right it wasn’t Russia. More of the same misinformation.
English
Who blew up the Nordstream pipelines?
I'll give you a clue, it wasn't Russia.
They think we're stupid.
Sky News@SkyNews
'To President Putin, I say, we see you. We see your activity over our cables and pipelines. You should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences.' John Healey says the UK has detected 'increased Russian activity in the Atlantic'
English
@DrHuw For some it’s easier to blame the Drs & many will not understand the reasons or history why Drs are taking this action. Maybe this is the legacy of Thatcher& individualism . Until they are affected personally it does not concern them. I respect the Drs & agree with their action
English
Every single day, we have been warning you of what is to come with a 2-tier healthcare system, yet receive bile & vitriol from members of the public whose eyes & minds are closed
Read this article, Yookay. This is your future healthcare:

A PA has been suspended following 7 attempts at a LP on a young pt. The pt was also prescribed diazepam due to her autism which the PA refused to give because she ‘ didn’t need it ‘ . He then falsified her medical records @AneurinBevanUHB you were warned walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…
English
@ArunBaksi @wesstreeting Yes we do. I agree with the Drs taking action for fair pay that they are entitled to having lost out since 2008. Patients need to see a Dr not an associate Dr. Streetings approach to the Drs & the patients is despicable & very frightening
English
Dear @wesstreeting , before you once again trying throwing insults at others, please practice what you preach; you have consistently exposed patients to harm by the continued use of unsafe methods in the NHS/
The public know this
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting
The BMA think their demands are more important than patients. Unsurprisingly, patients don't agree. Patients deserve better. The BMA must call off these strikes.
English
And we will ban ourselves from working in the NHS - win/win.
You will bring hell to healthcare if you have an NHS running on PAs instead of doctors.
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch
I will ban resident doctors and consultants from going on strike – as we already do for the Police and Armed Forces. Labour has chosen the unions over patients. The @Conservatives choose patients, because only we are serious about getting Britain working again.
English
@jabberwock951 You are well informed. I remember 2008 & the consequences for all public sector workers & services year on year that has left us in this decline & services now almost totally on collaspe
English
The state of public finances and public services are NOT the fault of doctors. Or indeed any of the public.
In fact the public were assured taking pay cuts and lower living standards since 2008 would FIX these things.
It's almost like that was a total lie.
BBC Radio 4 Today@BBCr4today
"Look at the state of the public finances, look at the state of our public services.” The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, urges the BMA resident doctors committee to stop strike action and accept the deal the government has offered.

@furbabygirl In my opinion you are correct. I’m sure Trump & others can’t wait for his contribution.
English
The Free Speech Union’s latest investigative briefing reveals that ALL FIVE members of the Government’s working group tasked with defining “Islamophobia” — now rebranded as “anti-Muslim hostility” — have troubling links to Islamist organisations.
These include the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), which successive governments since 2009 have refused to engage with due to their extreme views.
Baroness Gohir even tweeted in support of Hamas in 2014. Another member stood for the far-left, Islamist-supporting Respect Party.
In a free society, no religion should enjoy greater protection than others — nor be shielded from legitimate criticism and challenge.
Parliament abolished blasphemy laws in 2008. This Government risks reviving them for Islam alone, via the back door.
This group was stacked with members already sympathetic to such a definition.
With the Government yet to appoint a new Islamophobia tsar, there is deep cause for concern.
Watch @Katie_Lam_MP’s video below 👇
Katie Lam@Katie_Lam_MP
The Government's new ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ definition will make it harder to talk about Islamist extremism, FGM, and the grooming gangs. They’d rather restrict our right to criticise than deal with these problems head-on. It’s putting us all in danger.
English
@DrAsifQasim @wesstreeting I despair. Associate Drs training 2 years. Drs 7 & more. Our NHS purposely being destroyed. I’m sure paracetamol & veg will heal us all. Which is more than the Victorians got. Welcome back to the draconian age
English
No surprise that patients don’t want strikes
Patients want to be seen promptly by doctors - we need funding for more GPs and consultants
Meanwhile @wesstreeting is cutting training posts and planning wholesale doctor substitution with people who aren’t medically trained
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting
The BMA think their demands are more important than patients. Unsurprisingly, patients don't agree. Patients deserve better. The BMA must call off these strikes.

@BasilTheGreat Maybe this decision will make him more popular than he already is. The ordinary public are tired of unanswered questions. We deserve answers

Rupert Lowe keeps finding out the truth for the British Public
So they've banned him from asking any more questions
The establishment are terrified of him

Well done Iceland. 👏👏👏
Waitrose should hang their heads in shame!

@TheBritishIntel Welfare needs prioritising accordingly. We cannot keep overloading population as is the current trend

🚨 WELFARE NOW BIGGER THAN INCOME TAX
For the first time in British history, the welfare bill has officially overtaken Income Tax revenue.
Benefits and handouts: £333 billion.
Income Tax raised: £331 billion.
We are now spending more on welfare than we collect from the entire working population in tax.
This is total economic madness.
