It’s one huge mess. That’s also not to suggest that there aren’t excellent ANPs and ACPs. There are. Boundaries which existed for a reason have been obliterated and it’s not in the pursuit of excellence.

@Jean_Jeannie1 @Anisocyte @HillsBekki15323 @DrJoFranklin @rheumipainmask @Megsenmumdr @medicalmodelbri @jim_crawfurd @Xeon4f145d96s1 @gold103x And then they will realise they have been taken for fools. As the cons oversight they desperately want to distance themselves from as autonomous practitioners disappears and they are left solely responsible and accountable, the role will suddenly look less appealing.

@LittlePersonDoc @Anisocyte @HillsBekki15323 @DrJoFranklin @rheumipainmask @Megsenmumdr @medicalmodelbri @jim_crawfurd @Xeon4f145d96s1 @gold103x Completely agree. But soon the 'glamour' of saying ."I have my own list and I'm completely autonomous" will be replaced by..." why aren't I called a Doctor and have the same pay?"

BBC correspondent admits Trump is backing down and conceding defeat. Iran threatened to obliterate Gulf desalination plants. Without water the Gulf states collapse in days. They begged Trump to stop. Total humiliation for Washington.

If you’re writing the laws, you shouldn’t be playing the market. This is basic stuff. I have a bill that finally bans members of Congress from trading stocks. No loopholes. No exceptions.

So what will America have gotten out of Trump’s “excursion” in Iran? Zilch. Actually, less than zilch because in many ways we’re worse off than when it started. But that won't stop him from declaring "victory." Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-surre…

@Parody_RCGP the amount of effort that is at play to destroy GP surgeries as they stand? Is quite…something

But that would require an admission that non-doctors require supervision Because non-doctors claim to work 'independently & autonomously' Would also require admission that non-doctors are quacks Because non-doctors claim that it's 'advanced practice in the base profession'

This is a damn good question.

Trump, Netanyahu and Putin: plunging the world into barbarism, oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Breaks my heart that my 5‑year‑old is learning in school about all the ways he can protect our planet... While decrepit old fuckwits are dropping tons of bombs poisoning soil, air & water for decades to come for millions of us ...but sure, you recycle that bog roll little one.

Organisations who had to be dragged kicking & screaming to the @lengreview - and did everything possible to undermine it? Will now be working to enforce the Leng Review recommendations Who you fooling. 🤣🤣🤣

Keir Starmer snaps at Tory MP Bernard Jenkin for suggesting his approach to defence "smacks of enormous complacency" "This smacks of the fact that for years there was underinvestment by the last Government... honestly, 14 years of underinvestment"

Absolute insanity. A former US diplomat confirms the Trump administration had ZERO experts handling Iran. They literally entrusted the entire mission to real estate developers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Their incompetence directly led to this catastrophic war.

In 40 minutes, Donald said: the Strait of Hormuz isn't closed, but he wants it reopened; we’re not at war with Iran, but our allies are cowards for not helping; he wants a ceasefire, but he doesn’t want one. He also declared victory three times. Such clarity. Such leadership.

More than 340 retired U.S. generals, admirals, and national security experts have issued a public warning: Donald Trump poses a threat to American democracy. The criticism has also been joined by prominent figures from his own administration — John Kelly and Mark Milley. The latter directly called Trump “the most dangerous person for the country.” Particular concern is being raised about his strategy toward Iran. Military experts consider it unjustifiably risky and poorly planned. Instead of clear objectives — contradictory statements; instead of dialogue with opponents — personal attacks and threats. Veterans warn that such an approach risks repeating the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan, but on an even more dangerous scale.

"The cynic in me wonders how many of his mates knew this announcement was coming." This morning - as markets opened - Trump declared productive talks to end the war with Iran. An hour later, Tehran contradicted him. Was Trump simply declaring peace to drive oil prices down?
