How should you respond to a regime that has disregard for health and wellbeing, ignores the central role of inequalities in poor health outcomes, and believes science and scholarship to be enemies of progress? @kamranabbasi.bsky.social in the latest Editor's Choice www.bmj.com/content/388/...

GPs being made redundant. No jobs for newly trained GPs. All while there is a massive shortage of GPs. Surgeries unable to hire more GPs- funding only for replacing the, with PAs and pharmacists. It is a huge scandal and NOBODY in the media will talk about it. #socialistsunday

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

I have been stuck at 4.9k followers for a week, and it is killing me. I'm witty, irreverent, I post nice pictures of loaves of bread, flowers and butterflies. I am happy to beg for a few more followers if needed to get to 5k. I have precious little shame.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

The UK is facing a critical failure in medical workforce planning. Thousands of doctors are trapped in a bottleneck, blocked from progressing due to a shortage of training posts. This has been a crisis that was foreseeable and entirely preventable. www.ft.com/content/ddb5...

“As a party willing to break a Westminster taboo and take on Trump, the Liberal Democrats are honing a distinct political identity. The MAGA worldview of course, is an anathema to the liberal democratic values Davey’s party champions.
