Russia is bombing terminally ill children. This is not war. This is pure, deliberate cruelty.
A place that exists for one reason—to give critically ill, dying children a shred of peace and comfort in their final days—was turned into a war zone by russian drones. At the House of Butterflies hospice in Chernivtsi, staff had to haul these kids, many on life support and unable to move, out of their beds and into shelters while air-raid sirens screamed, russian drones roared overhead, and nearby strikes lit the night with fires. russia is a cruel evil terrorist state! We can never hate them enough

Whilst Nigel Farage tries to distance himself from Trump and his Iran war, let’s not forget his support for Trump and his Iran war.

🇺🇦 Zelensky delivers a powerful reminder to Europe: “Europe is several times stronger than today's Russia. You are stronger. Don't forget it.” And I have one question: If Europe is stronger economically, technologically, and collectively, why does it still allow Putin to dictate the rhythm of this war? Europe doesn't lack power. It needs the political will to use it.

Does @YvetteCooperMP not realise that turning RGNs,Paramedics,Physios into poor imitations of middle grade drs is totally irresponsible,especially as NHS has a shortage of RGNs who actually nurse,ambulances at emergencies may have no paramedic,UK physio waiting lists are too long

Hi @Nigel_Farage, seems you were happy to meet Paolo Zampolli too. Doesn’t it? The guy that the House Judiciary Committee investigation stated he was “an active participant” in Jeffery Epstein's alleged sex trafficking. The guy that the FBI said he arranged a model’s visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein’s house, where Epstein allegedly raped her. The guy with the civil lawsuit over the alleged drugging and raping of Victoria Drake. How many times have you, or Reform UK officials met this man?
Hi @andreajenkyns, why did you delete the video of yourself with Paolo Zampoli talking about how you had just had lunch together? Is it because you realised the House Judiciary Committee investigation stated he was “an active participant” in Jeffery Epstein's alleged sex trafficking? Or was it that the FBI said he arranged a model’s visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein’s house, where Epstein allegedly raped her? Or is it the civil lawsuit he’s facing over the alleged drugging and raping of Victoria Drake? And you think he’s “amazing”. That’s a lot of promises you’re making there, Mayor.

Most of the PAs/AAs who are currently working qualified from courses which were not, at that time, approved by the GMC. PAs who graduated from the 'failed' course at UEL and others who graduated from courses the GMC deemed problematic, currently work in the NHS.
Not a single Physician Associate or Anaesthesia Associate currently employed by the NHS, who trained in the UK, was educated on a GMC approved course. The PA doing your baby check? The AA giving you your anaesthetic? The PA doing the round in the care home? Your operation?

I’m weary of #ME researchers having conferences, showing slides, having convivial chats, posting that they have been discussing some exciting ideas etc. and nothing at all changes for ME patients. We live or die in our beds while researchers chat amongst themselves. It’s urgent.

THIS is the question. Let me take it one step further. Your most loved one is due to have surgery. You have a choice as to who 'puts them to sleep for the procedure'- and then 'wakes them up'. 1. It's either a trained Anaesthetist aka a Doctor 2. Or a Physician Assistant in Anaesthesia aka Not a Doctor The answer to me is obvious. Not in bazillion years should it be number 2. If you @NHSEngland @NHSE_WTE actually believe in 'Informed Choice'? Inform them properly- not dupe them with made up titles. What a two tier system we have descended to. I repeat- do NOT do to others what you won't do to your loved ones.
#nhs #patients You’re due to have #surgery Would you prefer to have a real #anaesthetist - a Dr or A Physician Assistant in Anaesthesia (PAA) ? - not a Dr A PAA is a former nurse , ODP or a biological science graduate who has done a 2 yr course do deliver anaesthesia
97%A real anaesthetist
3%A PA in anaesthesia

- Sanna Marin - Former PM of Finland: "Putin has no need to make peace. He wants to restore the Russian Empire, and there is no such thing without Ukraine.” "We should be much stronger, much stricter. This is not warlike talk. If our actions are interpreted as weakness, Russia will target us with even more aggression.” .............. Awesome woman 🫡 I absolutely agree... These words confirm Putin's logic...

My report has now been published! - Just under 70% of those surveyed are at least housebound due to their chronic illness. Over a quarter are bedbound or hospitalised. - Yet, 92.0% of respondents were no longer under the monitoring or care of any NHS specialist department, and 72% were no longer under primary care (GP) monitoring. - 88.9% of bedbound participants with "contested" conditions are too ill to access face-to-face NHS care at all, with no adaptations and appropriate travel arrangements being facilitated so they can get the help they need – which is rarely available within the NHS. This doesn't even scratch the surface of the shocking revelations I encountered through this research. Forced to Go Private is now live, with voiceover available. As always, this is free of charge. (Link in first reply.) I don't usually ask this, but shares of this report would be extremely useful, so it doesn't just remain within our echo chamber. Therefore, please consider retweeting or passing the link on. This is a scandal and is completely unsustainable, both for patients and the handful of private services who are able to offer at least some of the help we need. Thanks once again to the amazing volunteers who took part in this survey, despite being in such poor health. I truly hope this does you justice and that together we can make change. 💚 #NHS #longcovid #dysautonomia #MCAS #MECFS #EDS #vaccineinjury #PAIS #POTS #lyme #scandal #medicalgaslighting

This is typical of our management. They never listen . Drs are expected to train cheaper non-medics to take over their jobs. "Why would any pt want to place their life in the hands of someone who is less qualified and not had all the training of a Dr?" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c725…

Donald Trump has repeatedly described himself as a genius, an extraordinarily successful businessman, one of the greatest presidents in American history, and a man who has accomplished more than almost any president before him. He has called himself a “very stable genius,” insisted that nobody understands certain problems better than he does, and assured the public that he alone possesses the extraordinary ability to fix them. He also frequently tells us that people are constantly praising him, that everyone agrees with him, and that nobody has ever been treated more unfairly. Unfortunately, 154 presidential scholars were asked to evaluate America’s presidents in the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project survey. Lincoln finished first. Washington third. Obama seventh. Biden fourteenth. Trump finished 45th. Dead last. With a spectacular 10.92 points out of 100. Even James Buchanan, who presided over the country’s collapse into civil war, finished ahead of him. Please, whatever you do, don’t let Trump see this ranking. The shock of discovering that professional historians disagree with his personal assessment of his greatness might cause the two remaining neurons in his narcissistic brain to collide, triggering a catastrophic Truth Social meltdown. And frankly, America has suffered enough.
All that cheating and still dead fucking last.

This may be a long video,but it’s so worth it because these are just a few of the reasons Barack Obama is one of the most loved Presidents in this Country’s history and why he still packs venues. Try not to cry and it will be hard not too.

The wounded are being evacuated from Dnipro railway station to hospitals. My account on X appears to be throttled, so please share this. People need to see this blatant attack on civilians. I’m heading down there shortly.
Unbelievably sickening. I’m writing an article right now, having already warned about the dangerous escalation and direct targeting of railway stations and passenger trains. Explosions are still continuing now…. Now, 13 people have been killed in my city, civilians 🤬
