@SocialistNHS YES

Do NHS workers deserve a pay rise? Just reply YES or NO. 💙 #FairPayforNursing

The Brexit bus promised £350m savings a week, so what’s the problem?! Is a nation’s health not worth the investment? Or is our ailing economy to be supported by an ill workforce? ⁦@BBCNews⁩ ⁦⁩#savethenhs #torydisasters bbc.co.uk/news/63988517

Great episode on the NHS @TheNewsAgents it has been underfunded for so long. Junior doctors include those who have been working for over 10yrs who haven’t been able to get a training post. Pay is appalling for the responsibility they bear. Drs need money to live too.

@bbclysedoucet @DearZari @NannaMuus Thank you - just came across this on the bbc app. Excellent article.

"My pen is the wing of a bird, it will tell you those thoughts we are not allowed to think..." The thoughts of Afghan women writers #Afghanistan. With thanks to @DearZari & striking photos from @NannaMuus bbc.co.uk/news/world-636…

@thetimes queued for over 20 minutes to be no. 2 then cut off as you’re at capacity and can’t talk to an advisor?! Call again and have to start at caller 20? I’ve not received my vouchers for my subscription. What sort of service is this when you’ve just increased prices?!

Our future is paying for the tax cuts of those who can afford it now. If we don’t have a future with a decent education how is our future economy going to cope? Where’s *Great* Britain? #widenthegap #minibudget #howtokillourfuture #emperorsnewclothes schoolsweek.co.uk/school-budget-…

@JudithFreedman Or what an example of what not to do?! Also the impact of not having a coherent policy and reversing carefully thought out legislation over many years (eg IR35)

Currently teaching a course in Oxford that includes a section on tax policy making. Excellent students from around the world. Not finding it easy to explain how we do things in the UK in the current situation.

@nazirafzal So depressing 3 weeks in and how do we get a new leader? Need someone who actually cares about the COUNTRY rather than just a few individuals; individuals who can afford to make personal “investments” (not build businesses) and live ANYWHERE they wish (not the UK in future)

The pound is at its lowest since we had shillings, 50 bloody years ago We’re not “talking down” the country, the Govt is taking down the country

@lindammmat @janegarvey1 @jessphillips @chetnamakan @RadioTimes Did not know that! Beetroot chocolate cake is delicious, red velvet less so.

Might be controversial but I am not a fan of red velvet cake…. Too much food colouring, too sweet and sickly! There I said it! #GBBO

Great interview. Love themes on work ethic, great manager and politics - can be rich, entrepreneurial AND have a social conscience and championing areas outside London. Thank you ⁦@GNev2⁩ ⁦@SteveBartlettSC .⁩ ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ take note. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Incredible that we pay to book seats on plane with @tapairportugal. We have the wrong seats. How can a 5 and 3 year old to sit by themselves rows away from their parents?! We have wasted the last day of our holiday trying to sort this. Still not sorted. How can this happen?!

@NellFrizzell Great sewing skills!

Receptionist @EveryoneActive the Castle refused to serve me after I asked her to clarify what she needed from me to access. Apparently I don’t pay her so she won’t serve me 🤨 Bizarre biz model to not want customers. Who does pay her? Can you please help? @ActiveSouthwark @se1

Great article from @thesundaytimes thetimes.co.uk/article/47129c… Men get a great deal. I’ve also seen a man recently get a pay rise after a new child to “afford” childcare costs when the same pay rise isn’t offered to a working mother. #inequality #genderpaygap #workingwomen

@boutchercofe Well captured! Shropshire is beautiful ❤️

Sunset in Bridgnorth

(2/2) Then told no blue lights as I didn’t know the exact address and I suspect by the time they visit all evidence will have been hidden @BBCLondonNews @metpoliceuk @MayorofLondon #womensrights #DomesticAbuse #2022

I was put on hold today trying to get through to the police on 999 to report a suspected domestic violence as I heard a man shouting and woman crying for help from flats. (1 of 2) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

We shocked to hear that Pret A Manger is taking legal action against local bakery Bread A Manger. It’s hard to see how customers can confuse them as the difference are clear for anyone who has visited the French patisserie. standard.co.uk/news/london/pr…

@ElephantParkLDN So @ElephantParkLDN where has all the water gone?! Have you won the award and now taken it away???!! Or is it under maintenance and return soon along with the water pumps?

We're very proud that the park was recognised at the #NLAwards21 and won the Placemaking category. Judges described it as "original, unique." We know first-hand what positive impact it's had on the area so thanks to all our partners for helping us realise our ambition.

@parcelforce Thanks - I’ve sent the DM
