This is the sad reality of a normal day in the NHS. No strikes, No excuses.
Yet we’ve got fully qualified doctors sitting unemployed while patients are left waiting 21 hours in A&E.
Years of mismanagement and catastrophic workforce planning failure.
What a betrayal to patients

Nunca me cansaré de recomendar “El empleo”, cortometaje argentino del año 2008, y también, uno de los mejores de este siglo.
Te deja sin palabras👌

My mum at 91 years old is going to have to spend the night on a chair in a corridor as there are no community beds and no beds in the hospital. 91, broken shoulder, scalded legs and awful arthritis. @sathPRH @wesstreeting

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

A £5m personal bribe to a UK politician should end that politician's career overnight.
No exceptions - any party, and position.
This is corruption.

Weird that even the police, in their tweet, though not in the full statement itself, are just airbrushing the fact that he’s being charged with three attempted murders, not two, the third person being a Muslim man he stabbed earlier in the day
A man will appear in court today charged following a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation into two men stabbed in #GoldersGreen: news.met.police.uk/news/man-…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
He is accused of attempting to murder THREE people not two. He allegedly stabbed a Muslim man on the same morning.

I've got 400 of these graphs.
I can't post the rest of them today because I have a job to do.
Why can't the people whose job it is to report on the state of health and healthcare in this country do their job and study and post these graphs?

Why did nobody warn you? I can tell you. Late March 2020, I was part of the COVID taskforce of the German Interior Ministry. In our first report from 27 March, we were probably the first in Western countries to warn about long-term sequelae from COVID, based on experience with SARS (2003) and data about COVID from China. We also argued against herd immunity strategy. A few days later, the German government abandoned herd immunity. But we, and I personally, were violently attacked by influential German right-wing media, followed by major mainstream media, including moderate left-wing. A massive defamatory media campaign. My university threatened to fire me (they actually did a few months ago). That's how mainstream media and the academic community silenced those who knew and warned.

What extra money has the government given to protect students and caretakers in Nottingham? A person who is severely mentally ill, known to the police and psychiatric services, murdered 3 people in the city.

This is exactly what I think when I hear the emerging evidence from the staff involved. The important questions for me would be what proportion of our teams are operating at these levels of dysfunction and incompetence and what are we going to do about it?

In Croydon, 2 long serving Labour councillors, (both black) were deselected & Keir Starmer's NIECE selected to stand.
It's Labour’s 2nd safest cllr seat in Croydon. This is grim.
Great work by @InsideCroydon on this piece. Please read the full article.

Ella es Iris, una trabajadora que lleva 26 años en la empresa... o llevaba, porque ayer la despidieron. Que, por cierto, es mi madre.
Hasta hace 3 días la subían a redes sociales como imagen de la marca.
La han despedido de forma disciplinaria, alegando que se le olvidaban cartones en el suelo o que dejaba artículos caducados en pasillos cuando se realizaban los inventarios.
Son 26 años dedicados a una empresa para que te despidan mediante una carta donde los motivos que exponen rozan la falta de respeto, la humillación y, cómo no, donde se dicen mentiras.
¿Creéis que ella, siendo tan 'mala trabajadora', hubiera estado en una empresa 26 años o hubiera sido utilizada como imagen de la marca en redes sociales en tantas ocasiones?
Todos sabemos que la intención es ahorrarse el dinero que le deben.
Si tomáis la decisión de despedir a una de vuestras trabajadoras más veteranas, experimentadas y profesionales, por lo menos afrontad las consecuencias y dadle el dinero que le debéis.
Sinvergüenzas. @CarrefourES

An £885,000 house in 2024, the same year that this appears in the accounts. I'm just saying.

I should not have to spend any of my time keeping an organisation like Palantir out of the NHS. This should be a given on national security grounds alone, but for many more reasons beyond that. Unbelievable honestly

And in a landmark legal ruling in November, the chief constable of Northamptonshire, Ivan Balhatchet was found guilty of contempt of court and ordered to pay a fine and costs, totalling more than £300K to date. 12/

Shifting Baseline Syndrom. Eins der großen Probleme in der Wahrnehmung des Artensterbens. Kurz gesagt: Das was wir als Heranwachsender kennen, wird als der Normalzustand empfunden. Damit verschiebt sich aber die Baseline von Generation zu Generation, und viel Information geht verloren… der tatsächliche Verlust an Vielfalt ist viel dramatischer als wir ihn wahrnehmen.

Buy a train ticket from London to Manchester three weeks in advance. Costs you more than a return flight to Spain.
Get to Euston, the board flips to delayed. Then cancelled. Then 'we're sorry to announce this service has been altered.'
Stand on the platform with a few hundred other people while a bloke on a microphone reads out a list of stations that no longer exist on your journey. Half the platform is sat on the floor.
The replacement bus turns up 90 minutes later. You arrive at midnight. The compensation form online is 18 questions long and ends with 'this delay was partially weather related, no compensation due.'
The trains keep getting more expensive every year. The reliability never quite keeps up. Nobody in charge seems particularly bothered.

Great to see @SmartairUk added to the NHS Supply Chain.
The Covid Inquiry M3 report clearly states that:
“In the short-term [until all hospitals can be equipped with effective ventilation systems], the use of HEPA filters should be PRIORITISED within healthcare across the UK.”
Big news! 🎉
Smart Air UK is now on the NHS Supply Chain. Hospitals and healthcare settings across the UK can now access our HEPA air purifiers through the NHS Supply Chain framework.
A milestone we are incredibly proud of.

While designing SharePoint, Microsoft said "how can we make granting and managing permissions as painful as possible? We need it to be overcomplicated, unintuitive, and a complete clusterfuck" and then they went with that.
