Doctors work extremely long hours and are still on duty when they take time out at work.
GOV wants to do away with working time directives for so workers have no protection in Law when being made to work until they drop.
ALL workers need to realise this isn't just those in TUs

If you enjoyed it and would like me to continue writing similar threads, an RT on the first tweet of the thread will encourage me to keep doing so. Thanks! 😉👇
"American Girl in Italy" (1951) is one of the most iconic photos of all time.
It tells a powerful story and raises big questions: is it a staged scene? were these men harassing the girl?
I'm going to tell you the true story behind this photo 🧵👇

Ah, I see. When they said ‘levelling up’, they meant an increase in poverty and interest rates.
The Bank of England has announced the twelfth interest rate rise in a row, to 4.5%

I know it’s hard for many people to see and for many others to admit, but the greatest threat to our healthcare - whether we survive disease - is the wilful neglect of primary care.
Pls RT Peter’s video calling out the govt’s neglect.
Jeez. Just when you thought you had heard it all Health Secretary @SteveBarclay launches the Government’s latest con on GP appointments. Who came up with this absolute boll****!
Never underestimate just how thick this Government thinks we all are

Wow—this is just the most incredibly powerful short video tracking the impact of the past 13 years of Tory government on the #NHS. Waiting lists have grown throughout their rule—blame the Tories, not striking nurses. #r4today #BBCBreakfast #NursesStrike

It's a whole year since Tory MICHELLE MONE & her husband had their houses & offices raided by the @NCA_UK re PPE Medpro.
Bugger all has happened since. No pressure from this gov, why would there be?
Vote Tory & you vote for continued corruption & fraud

The Conservative MP’s have cowardly voted for the Illegal Migration Bill. Their intention is clear, use it to ‘legally’ ignore the ECHR and get them to kick us out.
Exiting the ECHR by the back door.
RT if you want the ECHR and not the Tory scum.

Last year, more than 760,000 people used a food bank for first time because they didn't have enough for the essentials, like food and heating.
This isn't right.
Can you help us build a better future where everyone can afford the essentials? 👉 bit.ly/3LuMAKh
ALT More than 760,000 people used a food bank in our network for the first time. This is 38% more than last year.

Someone receives a parcel from a #foodbank every 8 seconds?
What an indictment on this country, the 5th or 6th richest country in the world. Shame on you @Conservatives
I despair. #c4news

They are using the public purse to take OUR nurses to court.
These are the same nurses they (and possibly you) stood and clapped.

Suella Braverman used £25k of expenses to pay her parents Energy Bills for 5 years when she occasionally stayed there rent free.
Then she calls other people scroungers.

Yesterdays “Special Alert” was a disaster which wasted £millions
The UK Government awarded the contract to Fujitsu who subsequently sub contracted the work to Indian company Infosys
And who owns infosys?
So you can bet we will have many more alerts.. and they will all fail
Community note
The UK Emergency Alert System was developed by a company called Everbridge, which also supplies the Nationwide Emergency Alert System’s for Germany, Spain, Denmark, Norway and Estonia.

The Tories can’t say they weren’t warned.
People love the places where they live, work and holiday. The places that make working life decent and fulfilled.
Not getting this will prove costly for the Tory #sewagescandal ❌💩❌ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

This is what 13 years of Tory failure with our NHS looks like.
Labour will get the NHS back on its feet by delivering the biggest workforce expansion in history - funded by ending non-dom tax status.
