Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

A sad day. Allan, and Janet, were truly good people. They were incredibly kind to a friend of mine many years ago. It was a generous, altruistic, gesture. The world needs more Janet and Allans. RIP. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

When egos clash; "King's College hospital's own report into Martha's death made it clear the high-status consultants on her ward had a poor relationship with paediatric intensive care, which helps to explain why Martha wasn't referred there when, as every expert has agreed, she should have been.”

Just seen this article on the BBC News app. It was pure hate speech from a very radical, nasty, individual. This was clear during due process, & the court made a very decisive ruling. What the fuck? I’m guessing the BBC would be defending Hitler if he was still alive! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Whilst (trying 🙄) to collate some old photos I came across this image. Taken circa 2005/6, in Málaga train station, when I was commuting to work. The central message, from central government, is “immigration is a good thing & benefits us all”. Why can’t we have grown up governments here in the UK?

Don't give a fuck about immigration or where people come from or who is living in this country. And in my experience the only people who do are racists. Don't know why that conversation is so difficult.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10
