NEW: Palpatine’s spokesman says empire “ready and willing” to meet with Rebel Alliance but only if they delete Death Star plans from R2-D2’s hard drive and tell Moff Tarkin where their secret base is
NEW: Rishi Sunak's spokesman says govt "ready and willing" to meet with junior doctors but only if they call off strikes and drop their demand for 35% pay rise.

Not a great sign when your country has to have a colour-coded strike calendar

Many thanks @rcpsych for cancelling my exam a month before 😡. I presume that you’re joking when you say the £1000 refund may take up to four weeks. Also spring is a long time, will it be early spring or late spring?! 🤬🤬🤬

@helencrimlisk @subodhdave1 one of the trainees from South Yorkshire is hoping to finish CT in February. Do we know how they chose which trainees to prioritise? #CASCdebacle

I haven’t had any response from @rcpsych here or to my email yet. Perhaps @DrKateLovett or @DrAdrianJames can shed some light on who was prioritised for CASC slots this year? 3 out of the 5 people in my revision group were cancelled #casc

As a (new) husband of a core medical trainee (IMT) I am in no way surprised to see her programme near the top of the list. Hospital medicine is a shit show and was that way long before COVID. Without substantial changes it will only get worse as everyone drops out. #burnout

This seems like a positive way of solving this worldwide problem before crimes are committed rather than run the risk of something happening in the future. New Zealand sets up helpline for adults sexually attracted to children theguardian.com/world/2022/j…

We don’t even know where to start with this…our Prime Minister not wearing a mask in an NHS hospital. While elsewhere in the same hospital no doubt people lay sick and dying from COVID 19 as staff held their hands. Is this sheer arrogance or just plain contempt for NHS staff?

Given the levels of mask wearing at Meadowhell last night you could be forgiven for thinking that COVID is an issue for last year. Spoiler alert - it’s not.
After 4 trains in the past few days I think less than 50% of people on board are wearing masks. On Friday I was angrily reprimanded and called Boris’ b***h by another passenger for asking someone to wear a mask as she was sitting across from an elderly gentleman 🤦. #WearAMask

Enough is enough. My values come first. I’m not spending my time flicking through endless PowerPoint. Mandatory training needs to make sense. It makes no sense.
