Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care.
Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

This is heartbreaking. Six weeks ago Shalorna’s baby son Zack and sister Karlene were killed by a drunk driver doing 141mph. She is broken, but has still summoned the strength to campaign for a change to drink driving laws. Her petition is here…

Fantastic to see so many new & returning Labour MPs on their way to Westminster today, still gutted Rob Pocock isn’t one of them, but your supporters are so proud of you, & you’ll continue to do great work on BCC For the first time in a long time I’m feeling hope for the future🌹

Our criminal justice system has been starved of the resources and innovation it needs to deliver justice effectively and protect the public. I look forward to working with the new Government to deliver their commitment to reform criminal justice and put the needs of victims first

Yet again @jessphillips standing up to misogyny and hate. A brilliant MP and one of the strongest voices in this country on tackling violence against women and girls. Delighted to see her re-elected and now have the opportunity to better protect women and girls in this country.
"This election has been the worst election I have ever stood in."
Jess Phillips is met with boos and jeers from the audience as she narrowly wins her Labour seat in Birmingham Yardley.

Today is the NHS’s 76th birthday.
A battered, bruised, close-to-palliative patient, it’s just been thrown a lifeline.
Please save her, @Keir_Starmer, @wesstreeting 🙏
Please help us help our patients & rebuild our NHS 💙💙💙

Tomorrow is the day our NHS has been waiting 14 long years to see.
Please get out and vote and let’s see our health service get back to being one of the best in the world.

We support the doctors strike and all other NHS staff who fight for better working conditions.
Please RT if you do too.
We cannot keep relying of the goodwill of healthcare professionals.

Oh yes - another whack packed and ready to hit the streets of #SuttonColdfield! A week left to win it for @UKLabour - and Yes We Can!

NHS staff are not failing, they have been failed for 14 years
Please RT if you agree

Flagging this @wesstreeting in sincere hope you will address as likely next health secretary.
The NHS has a duty of candour.
That has to come from the top down.
Spinning. Misleading. Misrepresenting truth to patients. All are completely unacceptable.
I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

Thank you so much. Yes @marie_mccourt is an amazing, inspirational woman. Justice for Helen tells of her quest for justice - both for her daughter and all missing murder victims x

@RobPocock1’s the candidate that can bring about change to Sutton Coldfield. Rob has been fighting for a better Sutton for over 2 decades, whatever the GE result he’ll still be here in Sutton because he doesn’t give up on us! He is the MP our great town deserves and needs! #RP4MP

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.
And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.
It's hard not to see the lie.
RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.
Fiona Duffy retweeted
Thanks John, kind words!
I know and have worked with Rob Pocock, @RobPocock1 I know that he will be an excellent @UKLabour candidate for Sutton Coldfield. He will be a great MP as he is a councillor for Sutton Coldfield. Best wishes, Rob.

If you believe a single thing the Tories say about our NHS then you haven’t been paying attention
They’ve had 14 years to deliver what they said they would and improve services
But they’ve failed continually and seen NHS performance worsen against every meaningful metric

We’ve lost quite a few followers for opposing the Conservatives so directly
But we cannot be silent after the damage they have done to the NHS
Please follow and RT if you’re still right behind us, and help make 4th July a pivotal moment for our health service
