£99987 and counting: graduates trapped by student loans. Govt froze repayment threshold. By 2030, be at minimum wage. At the margin grads pay 20% inc tax + 8%NIC +9% repayment. Insane. Loan increases, if not repaid. Grads can't buy home, start family/business. Abolish Uni fees. Write-off debt.

Delighted to share a study from the North East Assisted Ventilation Service. Critical care outcomes in people with LD are good. Retrospective data do not support withholding critical care in this patient group (as observed in previous literature). Challenge therapeutic nihilism! tinyurl.com/3dxsan8m

Boris Johnson, "The question we need to ask, what extent did NPIs (social distancing, lockdowns, masks), bend the curve of the disease" "Was it worth it?" Thousands died because of Boris Johnson's actions and inactions during the early part of covid, shame on him, what a disgusting person he is 😡
