Thanan #BlackLivesMatter

So, today @tedtalks announced that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was their most watched talk of the year. It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

If you actually want to reduce #suicide, start by reducing shame. Debt. Sanctions. Food insecurity. Poverty wages. These aren’t “pressures.” They are engineered despair. No amount of awareness ribbons can offset the impact of policymaking built on humiliation.

The risk of suicide within 12 months after a presentation to services with self-harm is about 30 times higher than in the general population.

Michelle Mone got a private jet, a superyacht and a £10m luxury home in Florida on the NHS. Most of us can't even get a GP appointment.

TAKE A SEAT Government believes that simply attaching the words 'online', 'digital' or 'virtual' to any NHS problem instantly solves it, those actually working within the NHS know that the opposite applies Face to face, human interaction with the right tools is the best answer

Proud to be part of the collaboration that has produced this great study: theguardian.com/science/2025/s…

Now, more than ever, people need to get to know the real Nigel Farage.

UK household energy debt hits £4.43bn. 1,133,683 electricity, 926,545 gas customers in debt. Since 2020 top 20 energy companies made £514bn operating profit, causing inflation/poverty. 128,000 people a year die in fuel poverty. No end to profiteering independent.co.uk/news/business/…

As a specialist registrar doctor, I’m paid £29/hour after 6 years of med school, a master’s, expensive exams & 6 years on the frontline. We’re asking for me & my colleagues at the same level to be paid £7 more an hour to £36 to restore our pay. We intubate, operate, lead resus & save lives. £7 more isn’t greed. It’s fairness. @BMAResidents @TheBMA

Happy birthday @jeremycorbyn lifelong antiracist & activist for peace, justice & equality

The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population — 34 million people. Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused “incalculable damage” to our society. This is a lie. It’s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet — not migrants.

NHS spending 'maxed out' This is a con. Money syphoned off to private profit. Rich get richer. Poor get poorer and health inequalities widen. This was bad from the Tories. It's heartbreaking from Labour. theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

Public services belong in public hands. RT if you agree.

NHS planning to cut doctors/nurses jobs, maternity and A&E services to meet the govt's “eye watering” NHS savings. Another way of forcing people to go private. Private firms milking 30%-40% profit from NHS contracts. End privatisation. Tax the rich. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It’s more important than ever to know exactly who Farage is 👇

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication This should also be banned @wesstreeting unless you have a way to justify this?
