There's something sexist or classist in this coverage. I see no reason why our SoS can't have a dance. Her moves are certainly better than Gove and BoJo, who've also been spotted dancing.

This report is one of the most damning verdicts on the last Govs NHS oversight. We all know the NHS is on its knees. But can labour save it?! It won't be easy. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

These rates are ridiculously low. Is extra contractual work being used as a cheap substitute for actually employing enough medics to do the work?

This month is to raise awareness #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth - there is no place for Islamophobia in society or work places - we all have a collective responsibility to speak up and eradicate Islamophobia and support those that are victims of Islamophobia

Yet another example of how unsafe it can be to rely on less qualified health staff to deliver the NHS on the cheap. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Mind blowing 🀯 and rather scary. This quote from Richard Besser, a former acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says it all...

The more I reflect on the #budget24, the more it seems the most tragic omission was help for #socialcare. Social care employers more people than our cherished NHS & is just as vital yet always seems to be ignored.

Very troubled to learn that there is now no functioning hospital in #Gaza 🏨 In this fast moving media world let's not forget the plight of Palestinian civilians. 😒

Rachel Reeves has just one month to save health and social care from this jobs tax bombshell. With social care is on its knees, wait times for GPs are still through the roof, and dental deserts all too common, she must scrap this tax for health and social care before it's too
