Hi! Last week our favourite right wing rag, the @MailOnline , wrote a front page exclusive hit piece on me.

Why me? Er… well no ones really sure. I’m not a doctor. I wasn’t on strike.

No doubt it was designed to keep me quiet. No chance. Let’s hit piece the hit piece. šŸŽÆ 🧵. Image
Whilst I admire the Daily Mails commitment to gutter journalism, but I will simply have to right some wrongs:

🪧 I have never joined a picket line in my life. They just happened to choose the 1 day I couldn’t picket (due to surgery) as a free pass to slam my bikini photos all over the internet for clicks.

My name is Salma, a final year medical student. I took the scenic route after personal circumstances prevented me from taking up my original offer to study medicine at 18. I have worked over 10 jobs to put myself through medical school. #LiveableNHSbursary 1/19🧵 Image
