This is not the appointment for my hysterectomy; this is the appointment to talk to a gynaecologist about having it. A 71 week wait. The NHS is on its knees and it’s not striking that’s causing it. Care about the people who care for us and support the strikers.

As academics, it's our job not only to inform and shape policy, but to challenge it as well. In fact, maybe a government that doesn't want to hear criticism is a government that really ought to be scrutinised a wee bit more closely. [7/7]
