@RachelReevesMP Pity you are living in cloud cuckoo land...itd only taken @UKLabour 2 years to bankrupt the country and loose the very people who elected you..please carry on as you are so we can say good riddance for another 20 years

These are tough election results for Labour and I’m sorry to all of those colleagues who have lost their seats. Keir Starmer won a mandate to change our country. We must get on with delivering that mandate - and show how politics can improve people’s lives for the better.

@TheBMA When you lot are banned from striking you will have to do what you are paid for. Bring on a strike ban ASAP

We have uncovered a haphazard approach to the use of Advanced Practitioner (AP) roles by NHS trusts. Our investigation has revealed almost half of hospital trusts are using non-doctors to fill doctor rota gaps.   APs can play an important and valued role in patient care. But they should not be asked to substitute for doctors to address staffing gaps.   Patients shouldn’t have to worry about whether NHS managers have asked non-doctors to deliver care that only doctors can safely deliver.

@labourpress A bit like Rayner then...

Nigel Farage said today on Richard Tice's unpaid tax: "If his accountants have made an error, he will put it right." This is on Tice. He is responsible for his company. He must pay what he owes and face the consequences.

@TheBMA @fletchjack You need to be banned from striking NOW If you dont like it move abroad and we will recruit people who are dedicated and want the job.

BMA Resident Doctors Committee chair @fletchjack spoke to the BMJ about the resident doctor dispute and why, after the recent breakdown in talks, the government needs to stop playing politics and get back round the negotiating table. Read more bmj.com/content/393/bm…

@Keir_Starmer You need to RESIGN NOW

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened. This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes. Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation. We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

@UKLabour We already pick up the bill through our taxes, an ever increasing bill due to NHS inneficiency and union objections to change. The private sector uses less staff than the NHS for most proceedures and does not have over 50% of staff who are not front line. Privatise NHS now

Nigel Farage's plan to move to an insurance-based healthcare system would leave you to pick up the bill.

@TheBMA Simple..make it illegal for doctors to go on strike..Now. if you dont like it, insist you pay back your training costs before you leave the Uk and insist your new employer pays a transfer fee.

Resident doctors, you've joined the picket lines, shown unity and perseverance throughout the past six days of strikes. The Government knows where we stand, and they know our door is open for further talks. We need an offer that addresses jobs and pay. We’re ready to work together for lasting change. Well done again for standing firm and fighting for your worth.

@DoctorsVoteUK Why should doctors get full pay restoration...no one else has. The public purse cannot pay this. Make it illegal for doctors to strike, if you dont like it..tough!

Anything but invest in the doctors and nurses who are currently unemployed.

@TheBMA Non of your business..you will be on strike soon unless you can dictate foreign policy. About time you were legally banned from strike action

The BMA is extremely alarmed by the Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Read our full statement bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

@wesstreeting More bullshit....nothing will change until you sort out the BMA and make it illegal for NHS staff to strike

We’re investing more in the NHS and delivering differently. I'm investing £237 million in 36 new and improved Community Diagnostic Centres. This means shorter waits for tests and scans closer to home, more convenient services, and more footfall to our high streets.

@DoctorsVoteUK @wesstreeting All nhs doctors should be banned by law from going on strike. If you dont like it dont sign up to be a doctor. How will people respect doctors when they have no respect for patients

@wesstreeting So still a higher approval rating than you or your Government. Waiting lists are over 6 million and you've cut 1000 consultant and GP training posts out of spite. The public want someone who can fix the health service, not someone using it as a stepping stone to their PM run.

The BMA think their demands are more important than patients. Unsurprisingly, patients don't agree. Patients deserve better. The BMA must call off these strikes.

@Keir_Starmer I forgot it was April fools day until Starmer started the news conference....never here Kier is now in full bullshit mode

This morning, I’ll be giving an update on how we are supporting you with the cost of living through the conflict in the Middle East. Watch live.

@PhilMyers53 You must be living on a different planet to the rest of us, the most disliked PM ever, unempoyment at record levels, economy bust etc etc Just give up a resign en mass

Since Labour's victory July 2024, there's been an orchestrated right-wing smear campaign. The truth is Labour are doing a good job #FixingBritain Never mind the Bollocks #VoteLabour on May 7th

@DaleVince So dont sell north sea oil on the world market Set a uk only price for domestic consumption. Same with gas start fracking and use the gas for uk only at a uk price.

Ratcliffe is incoherent - all of the oil and gas we produce here in Britain is sold at the global market price. No amount of oil produced here can in that case save us a single penny. Importing fossil fuels does not mean we pay more. Drilling in the north sea will take years to deliver globally priced fossil fuels and Rosebank will cost nearly £3 Bn in tax payer subsidies to it’s Norwegian owners - and….none of the oil will land here in Britain. So what sense is Ratcliffe making here, other than to shareholders in Rosebank and other oil companies. This is another fossil fuel crisis and we can’t solve it or help ourselves at all - by pouring more oil onto it. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@DrHWazir If there was a job newly qualified doctors would probably join @TheBMA and go on strike.

Imagine qualifying as a doctor in the UK, only to be told there is no NHS training job for you in your home country. That is the reality facing thousands of UK medical graduates. The taxpayer invests in medical education. Medical graduates complete a five to six year demanding medical degree, graduate with debts often exceeding £100,000, and commit themselves to serving patients in the NHS. Yet in 2025, more than 40,000 applicants applied for just 10,000 specialty training jobs. Some doctors end up unemployed because they cannot find jobs as fully qualified doctors. These training posts are not optional extras. They are the route to becoming the specialist Consultants and GPs our NHS depends on. Without them, doctors cannot progress in their careers and patients ultimately lose future specialists. Yet UK medical graduates are not being prioritised for these NHS training jobs. Prioritising UK medical graduates for speciality training jobs is coherent workforce planning. At the same time, there must be safeguards for international doctors with significant NHS experience who are already contributing to patient care. Right now, the system satisfies no one. It creates unemployment, fuels insecurity, and weakens the future medical workforce. That is not sustainable and it must change.

@PeterJRepper @afneil And your point is...how much total tax inc NI VAT etc did these companies pay, and how much in pension contributions for staff did they pay and dividends to pension managers for our company pensions? They can only do all this if they make profits business is good for britain

Rachel Reeves continues to work her magic: Job vacancies in Britain fall to their lowest level in five years as businesses freeze graduate recruitment amid rising national insurance and other labour costs.  The number of advertised roles dropped to under 700,000 in January, down 16 per cent year on year, the first time since January 2021 that vacancies have slipped below that level, meaning numbers being hired now only marginally above pandemic-era lows.

@WBA Terrible display again lack of organisation and motivation. Should have gone for experienced managers not experiments

@wesstreeting Dont worry Wes your doimg a great job running it into the ground and making no progress sorting out the unions..hod help us if you become PM

Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary. Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS.

@cabinetofficeuk @UKMisBrussels @NickTorfaen @chriswardmp Obviously nothing better to do and i bet the design cost a fortune Typical of overpaid civil servants blowing more of our money

This #valentinesday we are improving our relationship with the EU to benefit consumers ❤️🩷🤍 A new food and plant deal will make it easier and cheaper to buy 💐 for your loved one.

@stanley_gti @SuellaBraverman On what basis are your statements made stanley..sounds like you fell on your head Getting away from control by a set of beurocrats in brussels and all the net costs was a great result.

Brexit Betrayal.
