Board of Peace - Season 1
Sky News: Danish PM Mette Freideriksen’s note in the visitors book when she visited UK today
For those of us in the UK this is why the European Convention on Human Rights is important. You don’t know what’s coming next
This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
I suspect this part of the story (probably along with Wes’s pronouncements on Flu - on the ground I don’t think it’s a major issue yet - my hospital has empty itu and ordinary beds atm)
Previous strikes have shown us that more consultants on the front line means better flow if anything
Nobody wants to be striking at any point. It’s a shame Wes and the government have driven residents to this.

Ah more rationing of care
Operations and treatments cut back as NHS orders hospitals to save money www.bbc.com/news/article...
From the @wsj.com chief foreign correspondent
The announcement of new asylum measures by the Home Secretary risks fuelling anti-migrant rhetoric.
We reiterate our solidarity with our colleagues, many of whom are being subjected to increasingly hostile treatment as a direct result.

Thank you @Ruth
Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.
THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!
Do you know what? It IS working. It hasn't caused tailbacks, quite the opposite actually. More importantly it's saved the lives of at least a dozen kids. Reform are actually campaigning for the return of more deaths and injuries. Absolutely bonkers.
SAS Week kicks off next week!
We’re proud to be joining forces across all four nations – alongside @nhsemployers.bsky.social – to shine a spotlight on SAS doctors.
From policy wins to career progression, there’s been real progress in every nation. www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opi... #SASWeek25
67% in favour of taking action if things can’t be turned around. That’s a fairly clear message
The only country to have left the ECHR in this century is Russia... and they were expelled.
Is that really the example you want Britain to follow?
This is appalling. Not only is this tolerated on x but it is being tolerated in our communities. It should not be accepted on line or in the real world
For @bma.org.uk consultants out there. It’s the last day to vote in the indicative ballot

True but the muscular look definitely stands out in the Boro
Not been on call for a bit but don’t think this phenomenon has hit Middlesbrough yet. Either too much natural testosterone or not enough money.
The BMA and many others warned that this was coming, and now it is here. The UK government must act immediately to prevent widespread death in Gaza from hunger. This is entirely man-made and is intolerable.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!
EVERYONE has seen their pay fall🤔
Well yes & no!
Resident Doctors have had their pay cut the most & even using CPI the recent increase still leaves their pay lagging
Some perspective on why they are so angry & frustrated
Also the ones with £100k+ student debt growing by RPI
Pay the young less!
How to tell if your appointment was cancelled due to a Doctors strike
Answer you can’t
On a average day in the NHS hospitals cancel 50,000 appts
Strikes days affect 40,000 appts, apparently🤔
Blaming the Drs for a broken system is giving Management/Govt the excuse they want
