@queenofdialysis Happy Birthday Maddy 🎂 🥳. Keep doing what you do!

I was expecting to live around 10 years (per the data) when I started #dialysis aged 14 in 1998. So today, 25 years later & my 40th birthday 🥳 is a somewhat welcome surprise!!! I have learnt some stuff - thought I would share it ❤️ thanks for all the good wishes! /1

@Se_Railway Waterloo east.

@cormbreen Hello, can you let me know which station this was at please? ^KJ

Thank you @Se_Railway for switching platforms for the 1938 Hayes line train without an announcement. A pleasure to be standing for another 15 mins in pouring rain fir no good reason

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No wonder jnr doctors & nurses don’t feel valued. Not everyone is “feeling poor”equally @bankofengland . What gvmnt has done to their pay 👇 is an absolute disgrace RT if u think @SteveBarclay @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak should #PayRestoration & save our NHS

£66.55 for 3 full qualified and highly skilled doctors to save yours or a loved one’s life is an absolute disgrace! With pay restored this would be: 10yr doc = £37.88 7yr doc = £33.09 1yr doc = £19.06 TOTAL = £90.03 We’re not asking the earth! #JuniorDoctorsStrikes ✊🏼

@DigitalAhp @GSTTnhs 1 person fewer in a great team. Good luck Chris and thanks

Last day @GSTTnhs topped off with a tea and cakes goodbye from the amazing clinical informatics team

We’ll always support NHS staff who fight against unfair working conditions Please RT if you will too Fair pay will help improve staff retention, increase the workforce size and boost morale Or in other words, benefit every single person who uses, or may need to use, the NHS

Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay Nor an offence for which they should be penalised But a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community. Please RT if you agree

@Conservatives The only thing you’re growing are the size of your lies and the depth of your disgrace

It's the same old Labour Party - running out of other people's money. In contrast. Conservatives are reducing debt, halving inflation and growing the economy.

Journalists are asking the union-bashing question ‘Are patients safe in hospital this week?’ when what they should be asking is ‘Are patients ever safe in hospital now as a result of government under-funding?’ NHS staff are the only responsible people here. The government is not.

@mikegalsworthy The phrase ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ will have to be retired forever

This really is pretty desperate stuff.

@nedboulting That detail is rather hidden in the bigger picture

Tulip Sadiq asks the prime minister about the welfare of 200 unaccompanied migrant children who’ve gone missing. Tory MP Jonathan Gullis heckles ‘well they shouldn’t have come here illegally’. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, the Tory Party find a new low #PMQs

Charging the sick for being sick. Mark my words: this will be end of the NHS if the Tories have their way. [Thread]

Fairness is fundamental to society. Asking public sector workers to accept a bigger drop in real income than private sector is unfair. The cash is there and raising incomes in line with core inflation is not inflationary. So why do it? Tax cutting ideology theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Asking for an NHS literally on its knees @Jeremy_Hunt... Do you still agree (with yourself) its "crazy not to fix this" and are you still "on the case", Mr. Chancellor? RT if you want the chancellor to fix this 👇

All you need to know about staffing More doesn’t mean enough…

Pls don’t let the govt gaslight you into thinking it’s ‘normal’ for patients to be dying in their droves at home, in ambulances, in corridors, in cupboards. Excess deaths are 26% higher than usual. This isn’t normal, it’s grotesque. A humanitarian crisis, yet Sunak does nothing.

It's quite startling that for the second time in three years, the Tories are blatantly letting people die to make millions for their friends - and no one's talking about storming any Bastilles.
