I am sorry I do not know who to credit - but this photographer has broken my heart with the absolute poignancy of this image. #AfghanWomen 💔 Image
I think this may be your extraordinary image from 2015, @jess_fulford? Thank you for capturing such beautiful, hopeful, moving portraits thisiscolossal.com/2015/04/skatei…

Unbelievable. The government has literally ordered the NHS to lie and describe refurbs & internal building projects as “new” hospitals.

All to fake their “48 new hospitals” pledge.

I think this stinks.

Please RT if you do too.

I wrote about this blatant dishonesty here:
The NHS had a duty of candour. I’d be nothing as a doctor if I lied to my patients. So how dare Sajid Javid and Boris Johnson decide they’re exempt from that? These fake 48 “new” hospitals are barrel scraping stuff. The reality? Our precious NHS is being destroyed, cut by cut 😔

The quiet heroism of the @RNLI - whose lifeboat crews & lifeguards have saved nearly 150k lives since its foundation in 1824 – deserves our total respect, not the hate of late.

Take this week in St Agnes, North Cornwall, one over-excited dog, & this 300 foot cliff... 😱 (1/n) Image
On Wed evening, the waves were high & the atmosphere wild.

Kids and adults alike were shrieking with delight in the surf.

Rupert the dog, a golden retriever, was pretty intoxicated himself as he chased a ball along the coastal footpath... (2/n) Image
Owners Katie & James watched in horror as Rupert chased his ball straight over the cliff edge.

“We shouted for him to stop but before we knew it, he went for it and tumbled head over tail down the cliff face," said Katie. (3/n)

“I no longer buy all this NHS overwhelmed stuff."

Still disgusted by how flippant, blasé & frankly ignorant these words from the Prime Minister are.

If true, they depict a man entirely - lethally - detached from NHS reality, and this is why. (1/n)

theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
Cummings says @BorisJohnson texted those words in October.

We started that month with around 400 new Covid admissions daily to hospital.

We ended it with over 1500.

1500 beds is the size of an entire NHS hospital - every single day. (2/n)
Covid deaths at the start of Oct were around 60 a day.

By the end of Oct: 300.

By the end of Nov: 600.

By the end of Dec: 1000.

One thousand human lives lost forever. A jumbo jet falling from the sky, day after day after day. (3/n)

Knowing that Michael Gove plans to “re-engineer the whole NHS” really does make my blood run cold. (1/4)
thetimes.co.uk/article/7983b4…
Gove seriously claims here that “data analytics” are the key to addressing waiting lists of 5 million. No mention of 12 years of underfunding - which, of course, is what created those waiting lists. (2/4)
He wants to his theme. And technology is indeed wonderful. But underfunding, understaffing & a deliberate decade-long degradation of our NHS is what’s created those horrendous waiting lists. (3/4)

Today @matthancock will attempt to persuade the Commons that he's behaved impeccably throughout this pandemic - and that Cummings’ accusations of serial lying are, themselves, a lie.

But the fact is, @matthancock *has* lied during the pandemic - and I can prove it. (1/16)
At the end of March 2020, the government rhetoric was all about “protecting” care homes, even as care home workers appeared on social media reporting their terror at being provided with no PPE whatsoever. (2/16)
At the time, I was working as a hospice doctor. Although hospices are classified as ‘hospitals’ in terms of clinical governance, when it comes to PPE they are counted as ‘care homes.” I.e: in supply chain terms, we were the lowest priority, just like care homes. (3/16)
