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?

For @bma.org.uk consultants out there. It’s the last day to vote in the indicative ballot www.surveymonkey.com/r/Indicative...

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. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

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

Our paper: since SCOTUS McDonald v. Chicago decision, states w/permissive firearm laws have had thousands of excess pediatric firearm deaths. 📊 6,029 excess deaths in the most permissive states 📈 Especially sharp rise among Black children 🔗 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... @jeremyfaust.bsky.social

1) Residents in England, post your strike ballot back ASAP - and tell your colleagues 2) GPs in N Ireland, find your referendum email and stand up against contract imposition 3) Sign @bma.org.uk's demand for an alternative regulator to the GMC: activism.bma.org.uk/page/172664/... 4) Enjoy the sun! 🌞

From @redrunswick.bsky.social Motion 15 at #BMAARM25 The BMA is acting to support those who have experienced or witnessed sexual misconduct - from harassment to rape. We will support you on this even if the events predate BMA membership t.co/y2fzzQREPu

UK doctors. Show your support for a new regulator. Time is up for the GMC www.activism.bma.org.uk/page/172664/...

To someone who doesn’t live in the US it’s amazing how absolutely obvious this is

Give this man a TV show and a book contract. Lovely reveal gag at the end as well. (ht @helenebismarck.bsky.social) bsky.app/profile/buck...

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

11 children died from whopping cough last year and there were more measles cases than any year back to 2012.

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up. youtube.com/shorts/ZZtHN...

The two pictures are 11 years apart. On 10 May 1933 the Nazi party staged ideological spectacle of burning of 'un-German’ books. 2nd image: Auschwitz II-Birkenau, burning pits outside gas chamber V, 1944. #Auschwitz warns us of where ideologies of hatred can lead to.

This is absolutely accurate. It’s austerity on steroids (nicked from someone else) My trust is trying to save 73 million in one year (somewhere between 5-10% of turnover) We’ve been told that if the savings aren’t made they may not be able to pay salaries in February and March next year.

Matt Frei, "Usually world events are caused by national disasters or wars" "But Trump is the event" "Today we ask whether he is an aberration in the history of this republic, or part of a pattern"

AI is clearly going to make the world stupider. I didn’t ask about mpg. Step 3 and 4 do the same.

The United States is led by a figure whose mental faculties are so impaired that his ranting and rambling can be pushed in any direction depending on who spoke with him last

Bed occupancy stands at 93.5% and it would require just under 10,000 available beds to bring this down to 85%. See all our UK analysis: rcem.ac.uk/data-stat... Data from NHS England UEC sitreps (week 19, 2024/25: 17-23 March)

March: A month of managing demand, monetising performance and missing the point... rcem.ac.uk/25575-2/ “Interesting” A&E data from last month (March 2025) indicates methods intended to improve performance are failing to significantly address the biggest and most harmful issues.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

This is madness. Administrative staff are essential to allow clinical staff to do their jobs. All initiatives like this do is add more admin tasks to the workload of clinical staff who are already being asked to look after more people for less and less. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

“the UK spends just 1.9% of its health budget on administration costs, the sixth lowest out of the 19 comparable countries measured”. “In the drive to raise NHS efficiency, national politicians need to be aware that cutting cost is not the same as increasing efficiency”

How bad are Trump’s tariffs? See the whole thing here: youtu.be/t907b15iTRE
