Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

So so so excited - a real theatre and a real @timminchin
The basis of any meaningful dialogue is relationship: Most of us have family members that we disagree with but still love. The problem with so much of what passes for debate on political twitter is that it’s simply shouting abuse at strangers. Who was ever persuaded by that?

Filmmaking, Mhairi, is a sacred calling. It teaches us how to live with dignity & to value each other. Its secret ingredient is empathy. By taking an audience on the experiential empathetic journey of another (hero or villain) we open the interconnecting doors into our humanity.
My 11 yo daughter’s chosen school project is on movie making-she wants to be a film producer. She has tried to get a quote on google from a famous female director that isn’t about them being female. Not one. Not one!! She is MAD. Please help @jk_rowling @lesleeudwin @EmmaWatson

For confused followers, it's the #CalcuttaCup, the oldest international in the world! Scotland versus England. So my next tweets will be mostly incoherent monosyllables because after years of not caring about sport I got emotionally invested in @Scotlandteam. #AsOne

In 2013, BBC Futures asked how many years the #BlueMonday myth would persist for. Today's trend only goes to prove not the "success" of #BlueMonday but the success of persistent and consistent messaging @BBC_Future @mentalhealth bbc.com/future/story/2013011…
It looks like @The_Proclaimers have some big fans in Malawi after these children performed 500 miles for a @MarysMeals worker.
