@KarlTurnerMP I just don’t believe you and that is the major problem here as many other don’t believe you either despite all the obfuscation presented about this matter

I got the memo now. Morgan McSweeney was mugged, reported that to the police, followed all the processes. Any questions around this is just conspiracy theory territory, really. Let’s move along now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@DrAnneDerry The fear and control exerted against medical doctors here is massive, to go against the narrative risks everything and sadly most doctors have mortgages, children and bills to pay so the coercion and control continues

The witch- hunt of ethical doctors by the Privy-Council’s creation, the GMC continues apace. I write this on the bus from Derry to Dublin, en route to support Billy today. The truth will out. open.substack.com/pub/docmalik/p…

@SKinnock Labour have lost all credibility on this issue, kinnock is a paid shill spouting rhetoric that is totally anti GP based, but happily you will be gone and forgotten at the next GE for generations to come

Doctors' surgeries are the front door of the NHS. The changes we've made mean that more patients now say that accessing their GP is easier. By working with GPs we have also reduced pressures on hospital waiting lists. Lots done, lots more to do.

@DannyDonnelly1 Perhaps en equatable investment in primary care across Northern Ireland might be good, rather than chose attractive federations to get all the funding leaving vast areas of NI under resourced and living health care apartheid dogma from sppg

This was a huge missed opportunity to save lives lost from alcohol related harm and reduce pressure on the Health Service. Minimum Unit Pricing is an evidence based harm reduction policy that was blocked by the DUP. For the life of me I can’t understand why.

@PDRNHPUK But please jettison zahawi, he is a millstone round your neck

Six weeks on Thursday Britain is going to wake up to a Reform landslide. Decades of entrenched Liblabcon control will be washed away like patterns in the sand by the onrushing tribe. It'll be a new beginning for Britannia & it'll be glorious to behold. Spread the word,vote Reform

@RJTMorrissey @SageDespatches Yes jack harbinsom was a legend and I remember him fondly from my days as a tcd med student, also Petr Skrabanek and Jim McCormick too, all legends

When I was a pre-med student at Trinity College Dublin we had an “objective” lecture on abortion from the Irish State Pathologist Prof. John Harbison. He went through in great detail how abortions are performed and how they are not the simple “procedure” commonly assumed. What takes place was so grim and horrific. One of my fellow students fainted and the female students in particular were very uncomfortable. There is a reason the harsh reality is kept under wraps. And now imagine this horror happening to a fully formed baby. We have to be better than this.

@Neccccy Yes

Should we abolish the Monarchy? Yes or No?

@dave_dlt @DrSteveTaylor The value for money provided by GP is truly astounding and cannot be replicated at this cost level by other providers, you’ll miss us when we’re gone…

This morning. One GP practice. One hour. 240 clinical tasks before most people had started work. Four every minute. No political thanks. No headlines. Just a small teamy doing what they do every single day. When these practices close, nothing replaces them. Nothing.

@keiranpedley @Ipsos_in_the_UK The zahawi effect! Nobody but nobody would give zahawi a second chance after his shocking stance on Covid and his total sellout to big pharma, zahawi is the gift that keeps giving to everybody else

Important observation from today's @Ipsos_in_the_UK voting intention figures. Reform vote share has clearly fallen over past 6 months Here is the Sept vs today Reform 34% ~ 28% Labour 22% ~ 21% Conservative 14% ~ 17% Greens 12% ~ 17% Lib Dems 12% ~ 9% So a 6 point fall for Reform in this past 6 months.

@KSCUBKEE Spot on! It’s all smoke and mirrors, don’t ask for waiting list numbers, ask for number of patients actually seen

People on NHS waiting lists are being sent texts asking them to confirm they still want their appointment. Miss the text. Reply incorrectly. Change your phone number. And you can be removed from the list. So when you start seeing headlines saying waiting lists are falling, ask the real question: How many people were treated….and how many were simply removed? Because removing patients also reduces the numbers. Validation exercises like this are being carried out across trusts including the Southern Health and Social Care Trust within Health and Social Care Northern Ireland. A shrinking list doesn’t always mean a healthier system. Statistics matter….but so does how they’re created.

@BBCNewsNI Couldn’t benefit a nicer bunch of people Not!

A proposed pay rise of more than £14,000 for Stormont MLAs will go ahead, the panel that sets their salaries says. bbc.in/4rpMEg8

@beith123 Zahawi effect keeps rolling

Reform are FALLING FAST in Wales. PLAID are now comfortably ahead of them by 8 POINTS. Good

@chris_altv And she wants to kill people though the assisted dying act. A truly deplorable excuse for a human

This is Kim Leadbeater. MP for Spen Valley and my MP. She voted to scrap my right to a Jury trial. She is mean’t to represent her constituents and instead towed the party line I will not be voting for her in future elections.

@RobbieButlerMLA Agreed but when ministers spend money foolishly on vanity projects they must be called out, Nesbitt and his mdt and neighborhood hubs are just hot air, fix GP by investing in what is already there in place, ie gms GP practices before they all disappear completely

It’s time we changed the tone in politics in NI. Ministers must stop over-promising, and opponents must stop over-critiquing. If every Minister had unlimited money, most of the problems would already be fixed. Fact. But people can see the gap between announcements and delivery. With school builds heralded with fanfare yet no spade in the ground, environmental pledges while pollution goes unchecked, and major infrastructure like the A1 and A5 roads still sitting undelivered. The public deserve honesty about what can be done, transparency about what can’t, and scrutiny that is deep but fair. Let’s drop the political theatre and get busy fixing things. 🔧

@benwansell And what about Northern Ireland?

With a little bit of help from Claude Code I've made a UK Constituency app that lets you look at descriptive data about British constituencies through a variety of maps and graphs. A short thread... 1/n

@scitechgirl Grok is this true

🚨 46 MILLION PEOPLE STUDIED… AND THE RESULTS SHOCKED EVERYONE For years, many people feared that COVID-19 vaccines might increase the risk of heart attacks or strokes. But when researchers studied the medical records of nearly 46 million adults in England, they found the opposite. The data showed that after vaccination, the risk of major heart and artery problems actually decreased by about 10% after the first dose. With booster shots, the protection became even stronger around 20% lower risk for Pfizer-BioNTech recipients and 27% lower for AstraZeneca recipients. Researchers, led by Samantha Ip, also tracked rare side effects like myocarditis, but these cases were extremely uncommon. In contrast, catching COVID-19 itself is known to significantly raise the risk of serious heart problems and blood clots. The conclusion from the study published in Nature Communications is clear: vaccination doesn’t just fight the virus, it may also help protect your heart.

@ElectionMapsUK @BMGResearch The zahawi ripple continues unabated

Westminster Voting Intention: RFM: 27% (-5) LAB: 20% (=) CON: 18% (+1) GRN: 14% (+1) LDM: 12% (+1) Via @BMGResearch, 4-5 Mar. Changes w/ 28-29 Jan.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Reform have sadly lost all credibility of late, very disappointing developments and having zahawi on board totally finished them for me

🚨 Reform UK is taking HUGE donations from WEF (World Economic Forum) members 🇬🇧 Bassim Said Haidar, a Nigerian born member of the WEF and a globalist, has just donated SIX FIGURES to Nigel Farage’s party 🤨 Now i don’t know about you, but it doesn’t sound very “smash the uniparty and end the globalist agenda” to me❗️

@TomblackBlack Absolutely, his actions of late suggest otherwise, starve GP of adequate funding, berate GP performance, make derogatory remarks about 5 course lunches and pretend he cares, it’s obvious that gms GP care is not on his radar

Don’t tell me what you value. Show me your budget and I’ll tell you what you value and it isn’t general practice.

@healthdpt Would have been nice to attend but sadly I’ve patients to see instead

The Health Minister opened the ‘Shaping a Shared Vision for General Practice’ event. GPs to discussed and contributed on the vision of General Practice in Northern Ireland. The Minister said he deeply values GPs and the vital role they have in Health and Social Care.
