Asked the PM what he was going to do about the shitshow that is our waters and just got told what a wonderful job they're doing. So I tabled a motion in Parliament for a proper plan: starting with bringing water back into public hands. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti… We Own It

You will hear the line the NHS wastes all its money on Managers a lot from the Media.

It is another lie, the NHS has 3.6% managers v 6% average in European Healthcare systems, 9.5% across the UK, and nearly 25% in American Healthcare.

And they only make up 1% of the budget.

Seeing lots of posts about sick notes (now known as fit notes)

Work is good for health, but work should never come at the cost of someone’s health

As a doctor, I’ve always taken the view that my duty is to the well-being of my patient, not their employer

How many times do NHS doctors need to speak out about the ways in which we’re quietly being replaced by non-doctors, with neither the knowledge nor consent of the UK public?

It’s a patient safety scandal - happening now, driven by Department of Health and Social Care, aided & abetted by GMC.

This is increasingly the position of many doctors working with PAs. I think they could be a useful addition to a team but not in its current guise seeing patients independently in the absence of medical training - this is a patient safety issue

All these claims are false. Zahawi's taxes weren't in fact 'fully declared and paid in the UK'. He was the beneficiary of an offshore structure, which he had used to obtain a tax advantage.[

Er, James…… This is your Government’s policy to help 20,000 Syrian refugees, announced just after this article!

Which 4 days later you welcomed!! “I welcome David Cameron’s announcement that the UK will provide sanctuary to thousands more Syrians” cleverly4braintree.com/news/syrian-re… 🤦‍♀️
