Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?

And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”
Great thread for this time of year!

But Sunak thinks these junior doctors with £100k of debt deserve only £22/hr for extra locum shifts after working a 48 hour week paid at £13/hr.

Monday I was the only F1 covering all medical wards at work. There was a cardiac arrest after my shift ended which I attended. Tuesday, I finished my shift performing CPR on a gentleman who deteriorated unexpectedly. I was the one who decided to escalate. (1/2)

Thames Water began 2024 with a bang, discharging sewage for over 100 hours from Witney treatment works into the Thames.
Sewage is spilling into almost every river upstream from Oxford.
