@medicalmodelwithabriochebun GMC Wes Streeting NHS Employers We saw her three times, I begged her to refer my son but she insisted he didn't fit the criteria for referral. We had no idea she wasn't a doctor, a receptionist told us later, she wasn't supervised at all and I don't feel she was qualified to make these decisions.

Trump was caught on a hot microphone saying he wants the American people to treat him just like the North Korean people treat their dictator

A reminder that even now, at the peak of Iran's attack, many more innocent people are being killed in Gaza than in Israel, and that you won't read a word about them in any Western news source. It's as if they are invisible, or at least regarded as subhuman, by our newsrooms

Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

📢 NEW REPORT: A year-long analysis of BBC coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza reveals a pattern of bias, double standards & silencing of Palestinian voices. Despite 34x more Palestinian deaths, Israeli fatalities received 33x more coverage per death. DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT HERE 📄

How handy having our journalists in Israel but not in Gaza is that every bit of destruction, injury and death in Israel is humanised, whereas the stuff going on in Gaza, is all seen through the lens of 'as alleged by Hamas', from which we should assume it's all lies. Apparently.

One from the records. Richard Madeley asking British Palestinian MP Layla Moran if she knew about Hamas's attack on October 7th before it happened

Same Andrew Neil successfully sued twice when editor of the times for libel and defamation to the tune of over 250,000 quid...yet was still able to retain his job and move himself up the slippery pole. I mean how does that level of hopeless get rewarded

I can’t help but think some MAGA are upset Vance Boelter has been captured alive, as the entire world will now be able to hear from his own lips how he supports Trump and the far right. Difficult to spin him as a liberal while he tells you otherwise.

@medicalmodelwithabriochebun UMAPs.org.uk The College of Medical Associate Professionals I’ve heard rumours that local PAs who have faced unemployment since graduation are taking legal action against the university. Unsubstantiated. Yet the same university is still advertising for recruitment Jan 2026. Full support to the PAs if reports of legal action are true.

Department of Health and Social Care Recognising our hard work with a pay award that’s only 0.9% above inflation, that will see us paid less than our assistants, and take over 20 years to get back to 2008 levels? Pull the other one. If you’re a resident doctor in England, vote YES for strike action. Remember, the

Department of Health and Social Care When are you going to start fixing the unemployment doctors crisis now or in August? Doctors will be signing up for universal credit. You have qualified doctors, GPs wanting to work in the NHS but in August they won’t have jobs. Explain that logic to the public. Wes Streeting

Netanyahu started this war by attacking Iran. He assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator, deliberately sabotaging US-Iran nuclear negotiations. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

Robert Jenrick Out of interest, what would you suggest should be the consequences for a minister who unlawfully approves a planning application to help a party donor avoid £40m in tax?
