Excellent discussion tonight from Mara Yamauchi at Keele University about working for the foreign office, running marathons, and equality in women’s sport for the Prof Fumiko Yonezawa Memorial Lecture. I’m in awe of her 2:23:12 in the London Marathon. Half the time of my own pb.

Halleluiah! Well done, Adam Jogee MP. It shouldn't be surprising, but it's nice to see a regulator start to...well, regulate.

Stars send messages of solidarity on eve of the Observer and Guardian strike #SaveTheObserver nuj.org.uk/resource/leadi…

It’s The Observer’s 233rd birthday tomorrow. The world’s oldest Sunday newspaper, whose future has been put at existential risk by our billionaire owner. I couldn’t be prouder to be defending it on the picket line with Guardian & Observer colleagues tomorrow @GoNUJ93

Full solidarity with my friends and former colleagues at The Observer who are on strike today. Whatever you think about The Guardian shedding its Sunday paper, it’s undeniable that Guardian management has handled this whole thing appallingly (1/?)

Great to have Keele University 🐿️ students from Newcastle-under-Lyme in Parliament today. We talked through my first few months as their MP, the key issues I am working on in Parliament and back home - and all the rest. Brilliant bunch of young people. #LoveNuL 🌹🇬🇧❤️

I cannot stand silently by as GMC fails patients in the PA debacle. Its entire point is to keep patients safe from harm - but it’s failing dismally. My piece on why the GMC is no longer fit for purpose👇 app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/68829/co…

We need to be honest and look at how those at the very top of the NHS, from the GMC to the Royal Colleges to NHS Education England, have let down a whole generation of doctors, tax payers and patients. We have a situation where trainee doctors who want to work in the NHS whilst

Or the fact that numerous PA accounts wrote emails to both the faculty of medicine Dean and vice chancellor at Keele University 🐿️ trying to get me sacked even though I was raising valid patient safety concerns. There was a concerted effort against many of us including Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥

UK doctors are facing unemployment on an unprecedented scale while patients are unable to see a doctor. The government is producing more PAs who are convinced they’ve studied 5 years of content in 2, despite the vast majority being rejected from med school. Welcome to the NHS.

10y ago Medicine was still a career worth pursuing Still is for some but for many it no longer offers the certainty of work /career progression/ choice Income is 20-25% less in real terms Many leave NHS, with private sector or overseas more attractive Total failure of NHS England Workforce, Training and Education

In a medical school session for our entire year group today. Our faculty are encouraging students to look at careers outside of medicine because "when it comes to speciality training - there are simply no jobs". What has UK medicine become?

NHS training bottleneck leaves doctors in limbo ft.com/content/ddb51e… via Financial Times

There is a massive scandal within the NHS that the public aren’t being told about. 20,000 NHS doctors aren’t being allowed to become specialists, due to a lack of training jobs for them. These jobs are being centrally restricted by the government. Doctors want to help the NHS,

Terrible news. There is no evidence whatsoever linking any vaccine, including the MMR, to autism. British anti-vaxx charlatan Andrew Wakefield was responsible for spreading that lie in the 1990s. He was struck off for his fraudulent research. RFK is dangerous.

Trump vowed to help the N.C. mountains rebuild after Helene. Frustration remains. washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…
