NHS private finance diverts money away from healthcare, towards the pockets of private shareholders. Cat Eccles MP’s motion can force the government to drop their NHS private finance plans from the Autumn Budget. ✉️Take 2 mins now to email your MP to sign the motion and protect patients.

Our Migrants Not To Blame event is happening now. @andrewmeyerson.uk A&E doctor speaks up about the anger many people feel today, but where that anger should be directed - at past govts, not at migrants.

Thank you to @andrewmeyerson.uk for speaking to me for The i Paper on the doctors' strikes, and for so thoughtfully explaining – with an outsider's perspective as an American, and an insider's as an NHS doctor – what the government needs to do to get back on track. inews.co.uk/news/residen...

At its core, this doctor’s strike is a fight to ensure patients have access to an NHS doctor right now and well into the future. Thank you to @jordanrivera.bsky.social and the Homerton Unison team for their support yesterday. It was great to be home. #SOSNHS #DoctorsStrike #PayRestoration

The 13th #DoctorsStrike explained in under 5 minutes. At its core, this is a fight to ensure that you and your family have access to an NHS doctor. It’s that important. Thank you to Jeremy, Paula, and former Conservative Party Chairman Sir Jake Berry 🥸 #PayRestoration #EndTrainingCrisis

Resident doctors aren't greedy, and they're not militant. It's just that after YEARS of being in an abusive relationship with government, they've finally recognised their worth.

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution. This week's column explains what we're missing and why it's so important. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A&E Doc @andrewmeyerson.uk has an important message to deliver about our Crowdfunding campaign. If you can support us, please consider doing so. Our funds are very low and every penny goes towards helping our frontline workers. Thank you 💙 Link: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-suppo...

The Times front page from exactly 11 years ago. Those Tory reforms wasted £50B over a decade and ushered in the greatest assault on public health in NHS history. Experts warned them. They refused to listen. That’s why the Tories are done. Labour should take note. #SOSNHS

It's party conference season. We thought it was time to see where each party stands on public ownership. 🔎 Some of the results might surprise you! Check out our full Public Ownership Party Scorecard via link in comments below👇

As #ResidentDoctors begin a 5-day strike for pay restoration, #NHS patients are standing with them ⬇️ Doctors are asking for £22/hr - the same as they earned 2008 in real terms. We know fair pay for doctors is in patients’ interests - share if you agree.

A thank you to everyone showing support on the picket lines today from Melissa Ryan, co-chair of the Resident Doctor Committee. Stick Together. Strike Together. Win Together. #PayRestoration @melryan99.bsky.social

This is why Resident doctors in England are taking a stand against the Government - it’s time to pay us what we're worth. Support us on the picket lines 📢 25 to 30 July #PayRestoration #DoctorsStrike bma.org.uk/residentspay

Genuinely clueless why we're even still having this debate. Apparently it's totally unreasonable in the 6th richest world economy to pay people saving our lives £22.67 an hour so we can continue to have a functioning health service. And yes, it really is THAT simple. #ResidentDoctorsStrike

I’m supporting the nationwide day of action calling on the richest to PAY UP. In 2024, UK billionaires added £35 million per day to their wealth. Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Council has an estimated funding gap of £17.2 million. The money is there - time to tax it fairly.

🚨 JOINT STATEMENT: The govt’s NHS Long Term Plan isn’t transformation, it’s managed decline which puts profits before patients ⬇️ By @justtreatment.org, @keepournhspublic.bsky.social, @socialisthealth.bsky.social, @everydoctor.org.uk, @weownit.org.uk & @nhsworkerssayno.bsky.social. #NHS10YearPlan

Bobby Vylan released an important statement clarifying he and his band are “not for the death of Jews”. It is hardly being reported but in the interests of balance and fairness it ought to be.

Dear 🇬🇧, Working people have sacrificed their lives, their communities, their services, and their futures for far too long. It’s time to stop the cuts, tax the super rich, and end Austerity 2.0 now. Rishi can afford it. We can’t. #RishiCanAffordIt

Speaking at the recent anti-austerity demo, Dr @andrewmeyerson.uk showed why we need a Wealth Tax in just 2 minutes... using former PM Rishi Sunak's wealth as his case study! labouroutlook.org/20...

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Hospital advertises for 12hr 'corridor nurse' shifts while many across England prepare for patients to be stacked waiting for a bed www.thetimes.com/article/410d...

Every day it breaks my heart to know that this level of misery is being inflicted on people, and that it's being done with American tax dollars that could be providing care for sick instead of slaughtering them.

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.

Why are Republicans so afraid of actual journalism?

Dear 🇬🇧, Your govt is ignoring the pleas of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine to save lives this winter. Please share to make @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social listen. Demand an urgent meeting with @rcem.bsky.social now. #SOSNHS

🚨Private healthcare companies are lobbying the Health Secretary to sign up to a new PFI deal. ⏰We’re running out of time to stop this deal. 📋Add your name to the petition now and show Wes Streeting YOU stand against new #PFI in our #NHS. #NoNewPFI weownit.org.uk/act-now/tell...

There’s no ‘spare capacity’ in the private sector that doesn’t further undermine the NHS. Like a parasite it sucks NHS staff and funding away from frontline services for no return. It fundamentally weakens the NHS for all - as seen with dentistry, cataract surgery, GP takeovers. #RestoreThePublicNHS

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions www.gov.uk/government/p...

Give Mo Salah a new contract NOW.

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social, When NHS services are privatised, what is the benefit to patients and their communities? Surely it must mean safer care and a better deal for the taxpayer, right? I’m sure you won’t mind sharing your evidence. Week 7 of asking. #SOSNHS

Just your regular reminder that public ownership is hugely popular ❤️

Amazons workers across 20 countries, including the United States, are striking against what the organizing labor union calls anti-worker and anti-democratic practices.

“No, you won’t get any youth mobility. Because even though I won easily… I still feel I have to do what the people who lost think.”

ESNEFT are trying to privatise essential NHS services. Don’t forget to complete this quick action to write to the board and tell them #InHouseIsBest: action.unison.org.uk/page/159424/...

Now is the time to invest in the NHS. Now is the time to restore NHS pay. Now is the time to end outsourcing in the NHS. Now is the time to pay of crippling PFI debts. Now is the time to save the NHS. Repost if you agree! Post a 💙 for the NHS.

“Obviously there will be no return to freedom of movement, the customs union or the single market” says Prime Minister Keir Starmer at #PMQs In other news the OBR report the Gov’t keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15%. Hiding from it won’t make it go away

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity. 7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude. Our magnificent, battered NHS. I love you, Dad 💙

NHS short staffing associated with at least 4,000 extra deaths annually. High staff turnover & reliance on agency workers lead to severe consequences, esp. in A&Es. Stable, well-staffed workforce needed for patient safety & quality care #ResuscitateEmergencyCare 🔗 mirror.co.uk/news/health/...

To say I'm am enraged by this story would be an extreme understatement. I feel like a cold fist is squeezing my heart seeing and hearing about what happened to these vulnerable children. BBC News - Autistic abuse case must never happen again, says No 10 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
