Interesting how I'm seeing the criticisms of Donald Trump from Labour politicians are getting remembered all of a sudden. So it's only right to remind everyone about Boris Johnson's 2015 comments...

Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.
RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

Wes Streeting thinks privatisation is the solution to the NHS.
Like if you know it isn't.
RT if we need a fully nationalised, fully funded, staff properly paid NHS

Oxfam: “We have been blocked, consistently, in trying to access food, latrines, wash materials. We put out a report last week that found the Israeli military has destroyed key Oxfam infrastructure that is essential for water and sanitation services in Gaza”

8/ Worth pointing (again🥱) that *ALL* the variables in these charts are *official statistics*. Its either pay or inflation from the @ONS (comparables), NHS pay & waiting list data from @NHSEngland
Average pay is chosen as that is what's used by GOVERNMENT. And MOST commentators
Kamal Patel retweeted
6/ There's a small difference (circled) in "all workers all sectors" (an @ONS dataset) during the initial phase of COVID as I have chosen to average pay each month over the prior 12 month period (to better match the @NHSDigital Earnings Estimates methodology) = fairer comparison

2/ You'll notice when ministers are in the media, they often talk about how hard "your viewers/listeners" have been hit by inflation. But what we need to do is separate fact from fiction (aka LIES), it was 👇excellent @jburnmurdoch @FT chart that really showed this well last year
Kamal Patel retweeted
3/ But its not just government ministers gaslighting NHS workers that they have no right for their pay to keep up (like everyone else's), it was also so-called "independent" DDRB👇
Apparently doctors & dentists should not be protected when "its not taking place in other groups"
Kamal Patel retweeted
4/ It was this blatant gaslighting that we are the same (or even better than other groups), not only from government but also from the allegedly "independent" DDRB, that inspired me on the back of the excellent @FT work to develop this pay erosion model based on official stats

In 1968 Finland banned for profit Education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in Education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in Education or Healthcare.

Incredibly valuable to hear about an inspiring clinical academic journey from Dr Fiona Cresswell at SCAC 2024!

Missed this from former intelligence officer Christopher Steel & we completely agree
‘The British people should know why Boris Johnson suppressed the (Russia) report and just how far Putin and his cronies have corrupted our democracy’

If you’re an off duty junior doc who comes across paramedics tending to a trauma patient, here’s a list of 6 things to avoid…
1. Not introducing yourself.
2. Wandering out into the road without any PPE on.
3. Refusing to leave when your help is kindly declined.

1/ As a professor from a severely under-represented intersectional background I sometimes get asked by mentees & peers how I deal with people’s & system bias adversely impacting me personally. So what works for me might not work for other but here goes:
