My timeline is very depressing at the moment & I cannot fathom the events in England right now. It is heartbreaking. So I am just reminding myself these wise words

NHS staff across the country are, as always, playing their part in response to this week's riots. But we shouldn’t let dedication to duty disguise the fact that seeing this flare-up of racism will leave many colleagues feeling afraid and unwelcome. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2024/08/statem…

The riots over the last week have been fuelled by Islamophobia which has been increasingly mainstreamed over the last 14 years. I've asked the PM, Deputy PM & Home Secretary to meet with Muslim community representatives to discuss the safety of British Muslims further.

Please remain calm Muslims, especially men. Stay safe! They want you to retaliate back and be violent. Don’t fall into their trap please! #Riots #Birmingham #Walthamstow #EDL #Reform #Muslim

After Babatunde had a stroke, it affected his ability to speak, read and write. Before this, he spoke four languages and loved poetry. Now, with the help of NHS colleagues at Barts Health, Babatunde shares his first poem, showing just how far he’s come. #WorldStrokeDay

In such a tough financial climate, we welcome the Chancellor’s decision to prioritise the NHS with record levels of capital investment. This will help us repair and modernise facilities and roll out tech to boost productivity, benefiting patients and taxpayer in the long term.

It’s Halloween, which can be rather spooky & dark, but don’t worry because this year it coincides with the festival of lights. We hope everyone has fun if they are trick or treating and to everyone celebrating hope you have a Happy Diwali! #Diwali2023 #FestivalOfLights #rangoli
