@david_mccarey Especially right before Scottish and Welsh elections too, as surely this is thru JCRPTB so there's UK wide implications. 🤯 Can't claim to be trying to protect the NHS while using the threat of jobs for trainees as a bargaining chip

@drmarcaitken Mind blowing stupidity. Everyone can see that we need more trained specialists to bolster the service. Using this as a bargaining chip is just bizarre.

This aught to be the end of Starmer and Streeting. Any credibility in fixing the health service up in smoke, and all this from a 'Labour' government. Hope the BMA calls their bluff. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The irony of Sarwar calling Starmer to resign is that he had Pam Duncan-Glancy sat in his shadow cabinet while she cozied up to a convicted paedophil (and she's still a sitting labour member). With child sexual abuse, scale is irrelevant to the victims.

Only the NHS could take one crap electronic system, 'upgrade it' and now require you to have 3 crap systems running in tandem to do the same function as the original. Wonder how many millions we've wasted here. 🙃

Hey @ThreeUK When your agents are calling to try and convince you to stay, having them exclaim disbelievingly ‘your husband? your husband?’ doesn’t do much for retaining the pink pound 🤦‍♂️ I mean I know my deep voice radiates masculine energy but come on, it’s 2025 💅 🌈

Lol I was first responder to a collapse in Holyrood on Open Day a few years ago and all I got was hounded by the Health and Safety officer. No lavishing BBC article for me 🤣 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Watching Labyrinth with the bambino’s and realised a tragic truth… you can basically tell someone’s age from whether they think it’s normal to have the credits before or after the movie 🤣

@MotelOneScot how does a guy make a coffee in his room with this? Shortest cable I've ever seen. Theres not a single plug in the room it can safely fit into.

Can’t wait for another public sector pay freeze 🥶 bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0rw…

Never knew red was just another shade of blue. What a disappointing start to a term of (not even) Tory-lite. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Happy that Labour have ousted the Tories - but really worrying when you look at votes share. Labour +1.6% Cons -19.9% Reform +12.3% Expect more polarised politics are the far-right grows in confidence and voice 😞

@santanderukhelp Don’t have 1.5 hours to spare (on something that should take 5mins) all the meanwhile trying to make an early repayment while bank accruing interest. Little value to company in good service in that regard.

@drmarcaitken If you're still able to hear the hold music, this is a good sign you're moving up the queue. We're doing our best to handle all customer calls as quickly and efficiently as possible, but we are sorry again for keeping you. ^ES

Hey @santanderuk ‘waiting times are in excess of 10mins’ is a bit of an understatement…

@santanderukhelp The finance dept

@drmarcaitken Hi Marc, sorry to keep you waiting! Can we ask what department you've called today? ^ES

Please don’t. The NHS, and in particular the care sector, is heavily reliant on the aspirations of folk coming to the UK to work. 33,000 non-UK nationals can’t (and shouldn’t) be replaced overnight.

My lad is having a GA tomorrow to remove the ‘earring’ (ceramic bead lying flat against his eardrum) he gave himself last week 🙈 When does the madness of early childhood end and what do the teenage years replace this with?

@Deneholm 🤣🤣🤣 with google it’s either nothing at all or time to cash in the life insurance

@drmarcaitken Must be even worse what with you not knowing anything about that sort of thing. Have you checked it out on Google? 🤣

Never appreciated quite how bad the pain of a bursitis is. Had olecranon bursitis four weeks ago, then a metatarsal bursitis, now a knee. Maybe this is the start of my RA. Thanks for the great genes mum and dad 🤪

@phlangepal_81 Braw, sun sea and sand aplenty and the jobs nice too. Come for a wee visit. I’m in GRI mid-June if you’re on? X

@Plyons251 Think GMC frowns on self-administration of Kenalog 🤣
