Brilliant (if depressing) summary of the critical issues behind NHS resident doctor dissatisfaction, with successive govts failing to support or adequately remunerate them. Sad that local GP @pwhitakerwriter.medsky.social has left the NHS but glad that his skills/experience are appreciated in Canada

Bluemoose Books is an AI FREE Publisher. AI cannot create the flawed human experience that is required to write brilliant books. It is cut & paste hallucination. It is Tech bros microdosed capitalism. It is not publishing. It is scraping. @thebookseller.com @theguardian.com

Extraordinary how NHS commissioners continue to repeat same mistakes ad nauseum. Here, a brilliant pioneering GP surgery, run as a CIC, staffed by ppl deeply committed to the community, faces losing its contract to a for-profit company based hundreds of miles away sussexbylines.co.uk/news/health-...

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement. Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy. 
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable. #50501movement #HandsOff #April5

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power: “It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”

Man does President @barackobama.bsky.social have a point, and more people need to sit with what he has said:

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

At the March 2025 council meeting, the Medical Women’s Federation agreed to support our legal case against the GMC over performance standards for PAs and AAs. They support it because of the impact on their own members, and on patient safety. www.medicalwomensfederation.org.uk/news/mwf-sup...

This, from Dr Ben Hoban (I don’t think he’s on here … yet?) is laugh-out-loud funny, and insightful at the same time. And just when you think he’s wrung every last drop out of the idea, he comes up with another unexpected take. *Chef’s kiss* bjgplife.com/narrative-fa...
