What. The. Fuck.
So my local FT - @UHMBT - has allegedly just told all its consultants they CANNOT book any further follow up appts for patients in their clinics. All clinics are now for ‘new’ patients. It’s an absolute outrage. What do patients do now for ongoing care. Yup - they come to us…..

A reflection.
You have to give @gmcuk their due around the issue of Physician Assistants.
Pretty much the only organisation who has stood by them through all things
In spite of all / most national organisations having changed their unquestionable support - (some due to data, some due to member pressure etc) - the GMC have stayed
And still working hard to ensure the PA project survives- in its entirety.
It is quite something extraordinary to see this level of dedication towards non - doctors
From an organisation set up to regulate doctors.
Extraordinary is the word.

Fake news.
I was 2nd in the MPs’ queue from 7.30am this morning (behind Des Swayne) for a prayer card to reserve a seat and there was no sign of Farage then.
I didn’t see him come to prayers at 11.30am to come and claim a seat then either.
You snooze, you lose.
Nigel Farage was unable to attend the Budget in the Commons because his seat reservation was removed, The Telegraph understands.
The Reform UK leader’s prayer card — a green slip of paper that backbench MPs put on a spot on the green benches to reserve their seat — was moved after it was placed this morning.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Farage's prayer card lacked a valid date stamp and was removed per House of Commons protocol. MPs confirm seats were available unreserved and he did not attend prayers to secure one.

It’s so tragic that the two 🇬🇧 entries for the JUNIOR contest (which gets about 1/20 of the viewers) have actually been head and shoulders above anything we’ve sent to the main contest #Eurovision

If Israel's current exit polls hold, the parties representing the Jewish center will have to make a choice: partner with Arab parties or else keep Bibi in power.
A pretty clear metaphor for the choice facing Israel more broadly.

GP to kindly fix NHS dentistry by turning GP into a dentist triaging service
Care for acute dental conditions is spilling over into primary care. Our analysis of health records for 6.6m patients illustrates the need for better integration between NHS dental & medical care, with clear pathways & timely access: qmul.ac.uk/ceg/news/items/ac…

Thank you for asking this question.
GP practices are working beyond capacity. Demand far outstrips supply.
Much of our time is now dedicated to online working due to changes in our contract that reduce our time for face to face appointments.

But suggest that the ideology that says “carpet bomb them, it’s our land, kick out the Arabs” might be racist, then according to Andy Burnham and Bridget Phillipson, you’re not only a racist yourself, but you also don’t deserve local council services.

If you think it's not important to fix conditions and pay for consultants then read just one of the messages I got today. Where are the Drs? They've gone to places with better work life balance and better pay. Without Drs there's no NHS.

Gay man here 👋🏻
The LGB Alliance does not represent me or any LGB person I know. Its work is overwhelmingly focused on attacking trans rights, and it aligns itself with those who oppose LGBTQ+ equality.
The government should not treat it as a credible voice for LGB people.

The thing about Google clearing a forest in Finland without permits is that they decided that whatever fine they might face is worth it. It doesn’t cost them as much as not getting the land cleared.
Because like ALL things, if the punishment is a fine, it isn’t really illegal for rich people.

As we head into the mid-season break I really think it’s worth emphasising once more that nobody thought #SNLUK would work. It was just an assumption that it’d fail.
The fact that this team has made this show as unmissable as it’s become in just 14 episodes overall is UNREAL.

🚨 UPDATE: The hypocrisy gets even worse.
"Sir" David Bell, the very man behind the government's antisemitism in schools report, was accused of Islamophobia back in 2005 for singling out Muslim faith schools.
As the then head of Ofsted, he warned that religious segregation could threaten social cohesion and questioned whether Muslim schools were adequately preparing children to respect other cultures.
Fast-forward 21 years...
We're now discussing a Jewish school's published commitment to preparing pupils to become "positive advocates for Israel", while Bell's new report goes far beyond political impartiality, proposing measures to silence legitimate criticism of Israel, presenting genocide as a matter of competing political perspectives, and sanitising the actions of the Israeli state under the guise of tackling antisemitism.
If Muslim schools teaching a particular worldview raised concerns about social cohesion, why shouldn't schools explicitly preparing children to advocate for the State of Israel face the same scrutiny?
Especially when Israel are carrying out a genocide in Gaza!!
This isn't about Jewish or Muslim children. It's about the political indoctrination of ANY child, and the equally dangerous prospect of using education as a vehicle for state propaganda, suppressing legitimate criticism and sanitising atrocities.
It has absolutely NO place in our children's education, no matter which religion, ideology or state it seeks to serve.
If this is seriously where we're at, we may as well stop calling it the Department of Education, and call it what it is: the Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

Esther Ghey asking the obvious question of people who have become obsessed with trans people: "as a family we were willing to accept her so why when it's nothing to do with you are you so bothered?"
