Hey @TLRailUK pretty much every train to Brighton seems to be cancelled because of a shortage of train crew. Did any of your drivers turn up to work today? So fed up of the appalling service at the moment. Always a problem every time I travel.

Really important meeting with these amazing women @breastcancernow. I want to find a way through so that Enhertu is available more widely. An improved offer, brought to the table by the manufacturers, is the fastest way to get this life-extending drug to patients.
Breast Cancer Now@BreastCancerNow

Today, alongside Hannah Gardner, Helen Addis and Nadia Sawalha, we met Health and Social Care Secretary @wesstreeting. We urged him to find a way to break the deadlock so that the drug Enhertu, for HER2-low secondary breast cancer, can be made available on the NHS.

An extremely powerful interview with Kate Wills. Should be mandatory listening for @wesstreeting @NICEComms @NHSEngland @DaiichiSankyoUK @ASTRAZENECAUK Thanks to @cathburns for her work on this story
BBC Woman's Hour@BBCWomansHour

‘To make decisions which stop us living fully doesn’t make any sense’ Why has a drug that can extend life for advanced breast cancer patients not been made available on the NHS? @itsanitarani hears from Kate Wills, one of the women affected by the decision on Enhertu ⬇️

I love April in Britain. One minute you’re walking along in sunglasses contemplating getting an ice cream, the next you’re having your face battered to pieces by hail. I wonder what weather will be along next.

Please sign our petition calling on @NICEComms @NHSEngland @DaiichiSankyoUK and @ASTRAZENECAUK to find a solution that makes Enhertu for incurable HER2 low secondary breast cancer available on the NHS in England #EnhertuEmergency
Breast Cancer Now@BreastCancerNow

BREAKING - #EnhertuEmergency: Thousands of women with incurable HER2-low secondary breast cancer have just been denied access to the drug Enhertu. It’s a drug that would’ve given them the hope of more time to live. But it has been rejected for use on the NHS in England.

Our breast screening petition has now closed with an incredible 84,605 signatures. A huge thanks to everyone who signed and shared it over the last few months. You've helped to show that this is an issue that thousands and thousands of people care about.

@KateT_MSK @DavidLloydUK Oh no! You shouldn't have to worry about your locker being broken into whilst you're in the gym. And I'd certainly expect much better customer service from staff at a gym I was paying that much to be a a member of @DavidLloydUK.

£170 a month membership at the gym for my son. His one luxury. Only to have his locker broken in to and bag stolen with the one car key in. Now looking at a £650 bill, plus all his other items in the bag. @DavidLloydUK absolutely no care for their paying members.

We urgently need to sort some fundamental issues in the NHS breast screening programme - like its IT - to ensure it's ready to adopt innovations like AI, which are on the horizon. theguardian.com/society/2023/a…
