🩺 Fantastic to welcome the Prime Minister to the North Bristol Community Diagnostic Centre here at Cribbs. This new site helps people get seen more quickly. Today marks the Labour Government delivering 2 million extra NHS appointments nationally - and 7 months early. Change is happening.

We're on Bluesky! Follow us for all the latest news from Labour councillors in South Gloucestershire.

Is follow back Friday a thing for Blue Sky?? I desperately want this platform to take over from the toxic nightmare that is X, but I definitely need to find some more accounts to follow and inspire me! Can we all repost each others accounts to boost engagement?

Sometimes I feel hopeless about what is happening to the NHS and what people are doing about it. I think we either need to go all in, find the millions of people who care and get a *lot* louder, or we give up. I want to go all in, but I can’t go all in alone. Share if you think we need to fight.

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Brexiteers never really cared about sovereignty

Ouch, too real.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Can I be very honest? Our little non-profit relies on merchandise sales to power our work fighting for the NHS. This year because Twitter imploded, we have had fewer orders and I’m very worried. If you need beautiful Christmas cards, a lovely pen or stocking, please could you support EveryDoctor?💙..

I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS. This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

Cancel your LA Times subscriptions people.

Wow. This post from @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social has been shared 11,300 times & has 60,400 likes on @bsky.app. On X it has just 8 shares & 13 likes (despite a much larger following). Don’t tell me Musk isn’t throttling accounts. Thankfully the forecast going forward is BlueSky’s.

🗞️ A little parish news… I’m thrilled to have been appointed as a PPS to the Dept for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs team led by the brilliant Steve Reed MP. Having worked on a number of these issues, I know how vital they are for thriving people, places and planet. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

Happy #socialistsunday I'm looking to connect with NHS supporters on Bluesky I'm a Nurse activist, campaigning since 2020 for better conditions for NHS workers & against privatisation I follow back 100% within 24hrs Please 🔃 Thank you ✊

We need help. The UK government plans to deport my wife for one reason and one reason only. We are too poor. Please see thread below and help us if you can, even if that just means spreading the word. gofund.me/3e54a149

Hooray thank you guys, you’ve grown the EveryDoctor account to over 7000 followers already! @everydoctor.org.uk 💙💙💙💙💙💙

BREAKING: The US is such a staunch ally of the UK that the incoming Trump administration has threatened to destroy our economy if we arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. Only the good guys threaten to destroy countries for complying with international law 😍

I painted some tiny winter birch tree scenes last night, and have turned them into fridge magnets. 🙂

Conservative MP Alex Burghart, whose leader stood on a stage yesterday to defend Jeremy Clarkson and James Dyson's right to hang on to their multimillion pound inheritances, now furiously complaining about the Government handing pay rises to public sector workers.

Classic BBC? No my friend, classic Clarkson.

A few facts about Labour's Budget and farmers.

I actually do want 👇🏽 to go viral because there are a lot of new users and none of the “helping new users” posts or articles bother to talk about this

SAY IT LOUDER

The wonderful @doctoroxford.bsky.social is here! Do give her a follow

Hello! Looking for new bluesky gang who care about the NHS! Twitter is a truly terrible place and I’m sure many of us were connected on there. Could you like and share this, and I’ll follow you back? Ju🤞💙

Hello!! Looking for my Bluesky gang!! Who cares about the NHS, and the fact that it’s being decimated by politicians? If you do, please give me a follow! I’m a doctor by background but gave up my medical career to fight for the NHS, its patients and staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️

He knows very well that the Tories started this process under Liz Truss then Sunak continued it. And that there is zero similarity between this and The Falklands. More manufactured outrage from an attention-seeking twat.

I finally made an account, any other animation or stopmotion people out in the wild on here??

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #4,431,773!

Just arrived today. Deleted Twitter a few weeks ago after over 10 years—just couldn’t stomach it anymore. But I miss the fun and connections so here I am. Let’s go.

Hello, author bsky! I am looking for sensitivity readers for a fantasy novel set in Ye Olde Europe (sort of) with characters from Japanese and East African/Horn of Africa backgrounds. If you have recommendations or can boost this, it would be much appreciated!

The Guardian seem to have a bit of a blind spot for the BMA's official opposition to the Cass Review. They plastered it all over their front pages when it was released so why all this quiet now that doctors are saying the review is full of bullshit?
