The Reform Conference is trending, and our media is crap.

So let's make sure people see the thread 🧵

Firstly, here is Farage getting roasted in America, far from the triumph our media suggest....

And here is Farage dismissing his parliamentary role like a petulant toddler

Here are my concerns about Victoria Atkins and Wes Streetings blanket ban on puberty blockers and the political discourse surrounding it.

Please actually read it before responding. 🧵 The idea that a political notion should override clinical decision making concerns me.

Prescribing is highly regulated, and there are ways in place to monitor current prescribing. All prescribing decisions are important and require scrutiny, and clinicians are highly trained.

@IoWBobSeely 1) those figures are for health social care, not just the NHS.

2) those figures include PPE fraud and dodgy Tory VIP lanes

3) those figures include the money draining out to private agencies to plug staffing shortages.

4) that includes the money skimmed of to private CEOs @IoWBobSeely 5) it includes A global pandemic

6) the article said we have not lost EU staff, yet we know 9000 international nurses are leaving per year

7) the NHS budget goes up every year. That's how it works. When you account for increase in demand etc you see the funding shortfall

The problem with current labour plans and the NHS. Please read.

Labour say they will use the private sector to reduce NHS waiting times (which sounds very sensible) - unless you know what is actually going on.

There is NO spare capacity in the private sector. In 2021 NHS doctors about 140,000, private FTE about 700.

There are not empty hospitals full of nurses waiting to do operations.

There is one pool of nurses, doctors and AHPs. They either work for the NHS or the private sector.

A thread 🧵

@UKLabour - a health warning.

Is the NHS safe with Labour?

A review of current Labour policy, ideology and intent.

#SOSNHS Intention.

Now @wesstreeting has made it clear the current Labour leadership see the role of private healthcare increasing in the NHS.



They say innovation will help the NHS, and it's okay as it will remain free for patients. Let's check this out...thenational.scot/news/23932636.…

A thread on the NHS crisis, and how the Tories are getting away with it 🧵

Check it out 👇👇👇👇👇

#SOSNHS 💙 When the government announce 'record funding' they fail to announce how much demand has grown, and how much has already been cut.

Compared to France and Germany the UK has underfunded the NHS by 40bn per year for 10 years. That's a deficit of 400bn pounds.

The Tories plan an #NHSweek to try and trick the public into thinking they care about the NHS.

We don't want an NHS week.

We want an NHS for life!

RT if you agree.

#SOSNHS Remember, the Tories are trying to sell of our NHS by increasing private capacity which weakens the NHS.

We cannot allow this false narrative to prevail

Key points about the #NursesStrike - a thread from a nurse!

- More Nurses than ever are leaving the profession
- England along has over 46,000 nursing vacancies
- Staff shortages effect us all
- understaffing compromises patient safety

#FairPayforNursing #EnoughIsEnough #NHS @theRCN and it's members will ensure patient safety throughout any strike action.

For many years patient safety has been at risk and Nurses pour in extra time and energy to try and minimise that risk, but it gets harder and harder and something has to change. @SouthEastRCN
