@MaximeBernier @MarkJCarney Only in Canada can an unelected, private citizen with 3 passports be chosen as the Country's Leader. So much for democracy.

@MaximeBernier @MarkJCarney Carney won the Liberals leadership race today and will be sworn in as Prime Minister. Without be elected by the people in a Federal Election. There is something very wrong here in Canada. pic.twitter.com/yQOSUkqvYP

@Dream_ChanneI @sandyosullivan Whatever you say.

A while ago I met a famous person I’d been following on twitter. I genuinely loved their work. I said I followed them on Twitter & my online tweets were mostly trans & mob focused. ‘I don’t like what they do to kids’ was what came out of their mouth. The end. #TransAwarenessWeek

@Dream_ChanneI @sandyosullivan I didn’t say you did anything to kids - a third party did. I asked for academic trans people to not stay silent at the claims of malevolent males using Gender ID. But you have proven my point by weighing in with aggression in response. How can we ever come to a consensus?

The tower lit up red tonight for Remembrance Sunday

King Charles III laid a poppy wreath during the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph today, it was His Majesty's FIRST EVER as monarch. God save The King.

@SaffronKim Fair enough. Sending kind wishes x

@booketybook Not something I want to discuss on here.

I’ve just had a text from my absolutely wonderful GP to say that the ‘lost’ remaining blood test has finally come back after she chased it up. It’s normal, so I don’t have diabetes. 8pm on a Saturday night. Do not ever say that most GPs aren’t doing their absolute best! 😍

@sandyosullivan I am in England and many people are perfectly happy with the TR are HR call- believing we all do have rights already. It wd help if academic trans folks could comment on the “what they do to kids” response without shutting it down as phobia every time. Nuance and discussion pls

Sorry all... England just woke up, and so unfortunately did the transphobia. Please ignore the comments... these people wouldn't know compassion if it colonised their own country.

Wow

Carl Sagan on the book.

@MediocreDave And if there were no free market for nurses then this couldn’t happen. Do people really think we would pay LESS to private health care providers? #NHS

As nurses announce strike action, here's the BBC with a headline about how crazy high their pay is. Actual story is that the NHS is paying big sums to agency workers (of which the agency takes a hefty cut) to cover staffing shortages caused by lousy pay and conditions.

“The NHS is something to be defended with hammers, rakes and bricks if necessary”. @robdelaney tells @krishgm about how valuable the NHS was for his two-year-old son Henry who died of cancer.

Here's your weekly reminder that 10 years ago the NHS was the best healthcare system on the planet, ranked number 1 by the @commonwealthfnd. The NHS crisis is due to a decade of Tory underfunding and criminal grade neglect. We don't need a new system, we need a new govt. #SOSNHS

I am posting my 2019 film, 'The Dirty War on the NHS' in support of the nurses' struggle against this extreme, vindictive government. Originally scheduled to broadcast before the election, the film was moved to after the election. Support the nurses! johnpilger.com/videos/the-dir…
