The Nerve @thenerve_news, launched six months ago by five ex-Observer journalists including @carolecadwalla, is expanding its team to include: Investigative journalists Alice McCool @McCoolingtons & Lucia Osborne-Crowley @LuciaOC_ Plus columnists @SangitaMyska & Cory @doctorow

@SangitaMyska @Harryslaststand @thenerve_news @carolecadwalla Yes! Sangita. Wonderful news. Nerve News 👏👏👏👏💖

🚨Some professional news… I’m thrilled to be joining the incredible independent news site @thenerve_news as their Political Commentator. The all female founders - including @carolecadwalla - are, like me, seasoned professionals who honed their skills in the mainstream. We believe it’s fearless, independent, value driven journalism that will meet the challenge of the rise of the hard right as it merges with Big Tech. I’m excited to be part of a highly respected team that will offer readers a much needed alternative to the corporate media landscape.

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

And there is the reality. All of the promises, all the rhetoric, all the empty, meaningless words. Welsh Water at its finest.

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications This should also be banned Influence is being bought in Govt Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

@wesstreeting @Patrici89225734 Yet you’re happy to let those who follow be seen by under qualified Doctor assistants! What you are doing to our NHS is sickening. You should be ashamed. You’ve let us down and lost my vote.

This is what modernisation looks like under Labour. Tens of thousands of cancer patients, treated up to 90% quicker, with a new one minute jab. I'm a cancer survivor myself. I know how important quick treatment is. Innovations like this make every penny and every second count.

@dru_jlh Hahaha he’s gorgeous. After all that show off stuff he dips under the last bar. Love him. Thanks for the smiles 🐾 🥰

Disgusted to see that @wessexwater have blocked access for swallows to get to their nesting site at Tonedale water treatment works. The pair have bred there for at least the last 3 years.

Our breakdown of Wes Streeting’s donors has been doing the rounds online for the last year. Now we’ve updated it – with another £55,000 from OPD Group, which, in the words of @EveryDoctorUK, “provides services to the NHS [and] is ultimately controlled by Peter Hearn, whose company Odgers Berndtson offers headhunting services to the NHS as well as the private healthcare sector”. Out of the kindness of their hearts?

@dru_jlh Too cute! He’s making me smile. Thank you cutie x 🐾 🥰

@miffythegamer Style! xx enjoy

After years of a challenging life in a council estate tower block we’ve made a new home somewhere new and quiet. I’m counting my blessings. 🙏

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. 📍my favourite oak #lakedistrict

This needs more attention. If Taylor Wimpey think it’s acceptable to fell trees during nesting season we need to make sure no one buys their poor quality overpriced homes. Tell your friends and family to avoid these ecocidal developers.

Nigel Farage didn't turn up folks. Knew his story wouldn't stack up over the £5million gift he received. Knew he would be exposed nationally as the fraud he is and couldn't risk losing votes before May 7th Guess who did turn up? @ZackPolanski

The NHS is under strain, yet millions are siphoned off as profit to private firms. That’s money that could fund doctors & nurses. Public healthcare shouldn’t be a revenue stream for investors. This reflects a wider issue with outsourcing and accountability.andoveradvertiser.co.uk/news/26072681.…

HE PROTECTED 54,000 DOCTORS. THE @NHS PROTECTED ITSELF. In January 2014, Dr Chris Day (@drcmday) was working overnight in the intensive care unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. Two locum doctors didn't show up. The unit was running at double the patient load the national guidelines allow. He raised the alarm. He reported unsafe staffing. He linked the situation to two patient deaths. That's what the NHS calls a whistleblower. What followed was eight years of litigation, a legal battle all the way to the Court of Appeal, and over £700,000 of public money spent by Health Education England (@NHSE_WTE) and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (@LG_NHS) trying to stop his case being heard at all. Here's the really elegant bit. HEE's opening legal argument wasn't that they'd done nothing wrong. It was that whistleblowing law simply didn't apply to them, because they didn't directly employ junior doctors. They were just the organisation that controlled the career progression of every single one of England's 54,000 junior doctors. Totally different thing. Dr Day fought that argument to the Court of Appeal and won. The law was clarified. All 54,000 junior doctors below consultant grade in England now have statutory whistleblowing protection. One man, crowdfunding against three QCs, changed employment law for an entire profession. No formal apology from the NHS. No reinstatement. No path back to a consultant career. He has worked as a locum A&E doctor ever since, doing overnight shifts while his opponents collected salaries, pensions, and the occasional glowing tribute to NHS transparency. During the 2022 tribunal hearing, the communications director at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust deleted up to 90,000 emails. The director whose entire NHS email archive was also deleted during live litigation happened to be the instructing legal client in the case. The tribunal described the conduct as extraordinary. Nobody was prosecuted. The trust issued a partial apology about a press release. The system did exactly what it always does. It absorbed the cost, deflected accountability, and waited for the man it destroyed to run out of money or energy. He hasn't.

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!

Why protecting patient data is the first thing that GPs are doing as part of collective action? Seems a little odd? Until you realised that the Government is planning to take away the data controller role from GP practices The same Government signing contracts with Palantir
