Can we all just agree that the delivery of the Covid vaccine in the UK wd have been remarkable no matter who was PM, or which party was in power at the time? It was the NHS workforce who rallied & delivered it, often in our own time. I’m fed up of BJ claiming the credit for it.

Congratulations Prince Harry for your #1 bestseller. I’ve had to have boxes of tissues beside me as it was so painful to read about the loss of your beautiful mother & how your whole world fell apart. You were so young. There was no support. I’m so glad you’ve found happiness. ❤️

@IsabelOakeshott They set an excellent example in that it shows children that we have the ability to stand up for our rights. Perhaps you’d like to give up your right to annual leave, bank holidays, sick pay & pension; all rights won through industrial action.

@SkyNews Nah, you’ve lost their trust now. You had your chance to settle it & you didn’t. Fully stand with my nursing colleagues. They deserve so much more. 💪🏼💙💪🏼💙💪🏼💙💪🏼💙💪🏼💙💪🏼💙💪🏼

Oh bloody hell, I hear the shotguns in the fields as the annual Boxing Day pheasant hunt appears to be in full swing. Tempted to go for a walk with Monty off the lead so some of them can fly away. I don’t agree with blowing birds out of the sky.

Can our representatives please do something about the GP bashing? I don’t think I can take it anymore. @rcgp @BMA_GP @TheBMA @DrFJameel @NikkiKF

@SteveBarclay No it’s not. A 35% increase on £14.09/hr = £19.02 A doctor qualified for 10 yrs carrying out life saving surgery/ c-sections/ med reg/anaesthetist/ intensivist is earning £28 an hr & a 35% increase = £37.8/hr. Your tweet is disingenuous as the pay has not increased for 20yrs.

@13028survivor @DeborahMeaden Because it’s morally & ethically wrong. Anyone who argues that it isn’t needs to seriously reflect on their character. They also need to educate themselves on the rise of the Third Reich in 1930s Germany. If you don’t see similarities then we really are in trouble.

Yesterday I got a screen message to say pt in waiting room was in a hurry. I was over-running half an hour & I had asked reception to apologise. Brought pt in - they had at least 5 problems to discuss. Didn’t occur to them that this might be why I overrun. 😤 #teamgp

@suchingtan Yes this hasn’t helped. Lack of antibiotics this wk was the real low point. All the rubbish hoops they get us to jump through. It’s like they want GP to fail.

@ElizabethLePla @TheroigneR @chrischirp @AgnesAyton @NHSEngland How many times do I need to say this? THE PATIENTS ARE NO LONGER WEARING THEM. When we were both wearing them, patients were safer & staff were safer. Remove a mask from either wearer = more aerosols. It’s not difficult. It’s really quite tiring to keep explaining this.

@ObserverUK @BWallArthur Yet it’s the junior doctors/ nurses/ teachers/rail workers who are greedy? Read it and weep my friends. Pure unadulterated avarice.

@1fifthavenue No pesky IT failures before Brexit. I wonder how many updates are needed because of Brexit? Most of our vegetables come from Spain!
