Astonishing that not a single Health minister was prepared to go on BBC Radio 4 Today to explain their abysmal failure to avert junior doctors’ strikes. Rishi Sunak says he “wouldn’t want to get in the middle of” NHS pay disputes. Patients are suffering as a result of his cowardice.

My tweets about Kharkiv feel almost invisible today. I keep retweeting them over and over again so the world doesn’t miss what russia is doing to civilians there. Please don’t scroll past. Let it be seen.

Today, my bill is already in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine – fulfilling my promise – for justice, for law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies. Full-fledged guarantees of the independence of anti-corruption agencies. Real opportunities to verify, so that any Russian

Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.

The damage caused by russia already amounts to at least 500 billion euros. And whenever the question comes up – who should pay for rebuilding and arming Ukraine? The answer is clear: russians should.

No doctor working today is worth 21% less than in 2008. A first year doctor working through the night to give life saving treatment to all our loved ones is worth more than £18.62/hour All we are asking is they are paid £22.67/ hour. It’s a bargain @LidlGB Wes Streeting

We can't afford to lose doctors. Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, said last year that resolving the doctor pay dispute is "a drop in the ocean" for the government. Paying doctors 22.67£/hr to keep them here is a no brainer.

Companies have pledged $63M to Trump’s future presidential library. Other gifts—like a $400M Qatari jet—bring the value of donations to Trump’s library to at least half a billion dollars. I’ve introduced a law to outlaw these kinds of donations to sitting presidents.

I was at the London picket today. Wes Streeting was nowhere to be seen. While doctors showed up in strength, he was nowhere to be found; refusing to acknowledge that moving a doctor from £18.62/hr to £22.67/hr over time is entirely reasonable. He wasn’t there to answer why

Doctors are there in our most critical moments. They care. They heal. They don’t strike lightly. Junior doctors are asking for just £4 more an hour — many carry £100k+ in debt. The govt must negotiate in good faith with The BMA. Solidarity with striking doctors. #DoctorsStrike

Remember that time I said I’d got paid more in two weeks in Australia than I did in a month in the NHS in England and loads of people got mad about it? Fully support the doctors strikes and if we don’t we know where they’ll go. Where they are respected and treated like valued

A fully qualified doctor earns just £18.62/hr. A physician assistant can earn £24+/hr in their first year. More money. Less training. Less responsibility. And Wes Streeting thinks drs should just accept this? You don’t fix the NHS by devaluing drs. You fix it by restoring pay.

Supporting Ukraine isn’t “charity” — it’s in Europe’s shared security interest. Europe must step up now & stand firmly with Ukraine. Relying too heavily on the United States — especially given the current political uncertainty — undermines our ability to respond effectively.

Dr Shivam Sharma (@docshivsharma) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Doctors' assistants are earning almost 47% more than a fully qualified doctor in London. Even with full pay restoration, doctors would still be earning less than their assistants. Paying doctors £22.67/hr would still be a bargain for this country.
