I have nothing but compassion for the pain this family are going through, but blaming the parents of her son’s murderers because they “brought him into this world” & for his mental illness is dangerous rhetoric that should be challenged- not platformed.
'Do you have any level of sympathy for them?'
'No. None at all.'
Emma Webber, the mother of Nottingham victim Barnaby Webber, explains to @NickFerrariLBC why she does not feel sorry for the family of her son's killer.

Huge sympathy to the families but “bringing into this country” is 100% not on. It is very, very important that overwhelming and understandable grief doesn’t shape mental health policy in coming months or years.

It was good to hear from @BMA_JuniorDocs today that the government has also agreed that training numbers will be reviewed with @TheBMA with the aim to increase numbers in the context of bottlenecks (given the planned further expansion of medical school places)! Hopefully soon!
I believe doctor @felicitydevere drew @wesstreeting’s attention to training bottlenecks on @LBC in 2022. It’s now 2024, what’s the plan @UKLabour? Is there a plan? Patients being failed as not enough NHS doctors yet doctors can’t get clinical work! ⬇️ #Shambles #MedTwitter 1/2

It’s inaccurate to define racist thugs as protestors. BBC TV pls, pls stop it.
This is the story: Far Right groups have attempted to set a hotel in Rotherham alight after rumours circulated that it housed asylum seekers. Several police officers have been injured as they 1/

A wave of violent protests around the country has raised questions about whether the English Defence League (EDL) - technically a defunct organisation - should be banned under UK terrorism laws

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Kill a cyclist after 30 previous offences - suspended sentence and community service.
Hold up a few motorists on the M25 - 5 years in prison.

Yeah and I told @wesstreeting as much in the room to his face.
He risks over promising and under delivering.

Concerned after more than 12 hours after raising factual errors in @danielgoyal’s @theipaper article these errors have not been corrected
Are you planning on correcting these Dan?
It’s a very sensitive time for discussions about public sector pay & important not to misinform
Hi Dan some errors in your article @danielgoyal yesterday
Resident doctors haven’t been offered 13.5pc over the next years it’s 6pc plus £1k consolidated - averaging at 8.0% (not 13.5 percent as stated)
It’s also untrue to suggest nurses offered “almost a quarter” what residents offered - you are comparing multiyear deals with a single year.
As you say there were big differences in how each group approached their dispute. But there are also big differences in pay erosion per chart below 👇- that’s the biggest difference in why nurses offered 5.5% vs residents 8.0%
All groups deserve #FairPay and #PayRestoration but that will look different in different groups

Right I have gone through the latest 20mph data for Wales and have made this video.
However, I know many of you prefer a thread so I've done that as well.
Long story short, 20mph seems to be working VERY well and is already paying for itself.

It is a straightforward lie to claim that the New (If Fictional) Hospitals Programme was “set to deliver 40 new hospitals for communities by 2030”. nao.org.uk/reports/progress-…
The pay offer today for resident doctors (backdated uplift to 2023 and accepting the DDRB reccomendation for 2024) is a start.
There is still a long way to go, the key will be whether future pay awards continue the trend (sadly no binding commitment to this journey today) 1/2
ALT Graph showing that resident doctors pay will still be -20.8% down on 2008/2009 even taking into account the deal from the govenrment that the BMA are putting to members.
This offer roughly addresses the last few years, but at the rate since 2023 it will take several more years for resident doctors to achieve pay restoration & parity with 'all workers, all sectors' in terms of changes to real terms pay compared to 2009. ⬇️

Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse.
Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.
