Bit of an OMG moment reading this from Labours Reforming Elective Care Document....
Is this the dumbest thing a health secretary has ever said? pulsetoday.co.uk/views/coppe…

I’ve created this video to help people understand the financial distress GP practices are under. Please share widely to create awareness and start conversations about how we save General Practice. #TeamGP #NHSCrisis

The number of sick people waiting 12 hours or more for a hospital bed is 3,000 times higher than when the Conservatives came to power
THREE THOUSAND TIMES
Please RT if you think everyone should know about the damage the Government have done to the NHS

When doctors strike again in two weeks, please remember that Rishi Sunak could end the dispute right now.
But he chooses not to.
Doctors just want the same pay they got in 2010. Is that really too much to ask?
Please RT if you remain behind them.

It cost £1,593,535,200 to rent for 2 years.
That is £15m a week, the £300,000 is the additional moorage and power costs.
Don't RT and let this secret out, it could embarass them.

Johnny Mercer pays his wife £45,000 a year to be a secretary.
Employing your spouse/relative was supposed to be banned in 2017. But they don’t care.
Not only does he employ her, he MASSIVELY overpays her.
If you want to see the Government fire her give this a RT.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 2017 ban on MPs employing family members exempts those who already did so before the rule was imposed - including Ms Mercer, who had worked for her husband part-time since 2015.

One historic plan.
300k new staff.
Everything you need to know about today’s announcement in under two minutes ⬇️
Yup. All fab. Of course by the time we have all left because of pay/ conditions/lack of professional support/ a sense that actually we're not valued,you might need to revisit these figures. Also we all know this is a classic political maneuver.Just sort today's issues..pay etc..
I'm enjoying a quiet pint trying to assuage the irritation of dealing with a post op problem for a patient that is nothing to do with me as their GP....this is the stuff that just wears me down
Dr Peter Rudge retweeted
It’s staggering the Government is doubling down on its claim inflation busting pay rises for our nurses & teachers will embed & drive inflation. It’s completely untrue & debunked by most economists. If you are sick of this bull**** RT this widely
Dr Peter Rudge retweeted
Please retweet this many, many, many times. It's horrific.
@MarinaHyde is so right.
Why isn't this is a huge scandal?
Hundreds of lives ruined. Not a single person held to account. And still: silence on the Post Office scandal | Marina Hyde theguardian.com/commentisfre…
