I think this tweet is so utterly appropriate:
When will Wes Streeting tell the truth?

It’s easy to believe that politicians are the least truthful people in society. At least a significant number of them.
Very sad.
Craven by name, craven by nature?
It used to be a criminal offence to hold yourself out as a doctor and treat someone if you were not registered with the GMC as a doctor. Final year medical students used to be allowed to do student locums in hospitals, but were very clearly instructed never to let the patient think they were a doctor, even to the extent of correcting a nurse if they said ‘here is the doctor’. Does anyone know if that has changed?

When hell freezes over.
David Byrne says:
Want an appointment with your GP? Please be patient (no pun intended) because he/she is extremely busy. As a partner in the business, there are many pressing responsibilities, for example:
-training Registrar GP’s in the surgery
-mentoring student nurses
-running external training courses
-attending to business related priorities.
And, possibly many other distractions.
Just follow the money.
This seems to be the not very subtle take over of supposedly independent institutions like the NHS by the executive arm of government.
It seems to be happening in professions also – so that leading medics receiving public research grants and/or sitting on official advisory committees – didn’t challenge ‘eat out to help out’ which spread covid sars2 infection or the continuing propaganda that the covid pandemic is ‘in the past’ even though thousands have died with covid in UK in 2024.
These ‘quasi offical’ medics y do not mention that WHO advises clean air protection in health care settings and/or masks and vaccines – including for under 65’s. In many countries – children get vaccinated – .
We have 2 million with Long Covid – and much research evidence that repeated infections can lead to increased risk of strokes and other cardio vascular and neurological conditions.
The ‘constitution’ needs amending to protect independent institutions and professions from the ‘elected dictatorship’ of the governing party. Appointments to BBC . NHS and official advisory bodies – should be by independent people – not the government.
