On no pay rise for public sector staff esp lower band nhs workers maybe tax breaks in line with inflation so that people can keep their wages

Rishi Sunak: “I am actually incredibly proud of what my parents-in-law built”
Quite right. No one should be ashamed about hard work and success. We need a PM who will oppose petty jealousy, who will talk up the private sector and encourage individuals to be ambitious.

I think Akshata Murthy only moved to the UK as she wed Sunak. I don’t know but I assume she is still an Indian citizen. A lot of negative press on Infosys, they are actually a great success story and the founders (her parents) are actually very quiet and remarkable people.

Honest tweet now. This account is run by NHS staff. There’s just 3 of us. We have tried our best to get out what is happening on the ground. But we are completely exhausted. If you support what we are doing please will you follow and RT this to your followers? Thank you 🙏

We lose quite a few followers because we seem to be anti-Conservative
But they *seem* to be hell bent on underfunding, understaffing and privatising our NHS so what are we supposed to do?
Please follow and RT if you understand our position and want to help fight for our NHS

If everyone who has ever been grateful for the NHS followed and retweeted we would reach a million by midnight.
We will all need the NHS at some point in our lives, so let's all come together to protect it.

I hope I am wrong but the mood music is not good on this. A reminder to everyone with compromised immunity that today you & your loved ones can still order free lateral flow tests on line 😔inews.co.uk/news/health/covi…

If you're planning to visit UCLH, please remember that national guidance on masks and social distancing in healthcare settings doesn't change on Monday. Please help keep our vulnerable patients safe and help our staff do the same. @uclh #safety #kindness
Lockdown may be lifting on Monday 19 July but please continue to help stop the spread of #COVID19 & other respiratory viruses by wearing a mask in our buildings, keeping a safe 2m distance & using hand sanitizer, even if you're fully vaccinated. Thank you for your understanding.

Very relieved to hear this. Thank you @HenrySmithUK for asking the question and @sajidjavid for responding so clearly and positively
1/ We’re delighted to hear @sajidjavid today give his assurance in Parliament that the NHS will inform and advise people with blood cancer about what they can do to protect themselves

Thanks so much to @JonAshworth for raising the issues faced by people with blood cancer, who the vaccines may not work as well for, in Parliament today. So important they’re part of the debate! 🙏
"Let's have freedom, but not a high risk free-for-all."
@JonAshworth says those who are immunocompromised, or for whom the vaccine is less effective, will "have their freedoms curtailed" by scrapping mandatory mask-wearing on public transport.

I have seen five major reforms of the NHS in my working life (1990, 2000, 2012, 2014, 2019) and now another proposed reform by @BorisJohnson ! All reforms been modelled on ‘Kaiser’ model of healthcare of USA.
They all lead to ultimate PRIVATISATION of the NHS!
RT to oppose !

Solidarity with the people of India as the country grapples with the second wave of nasty coronavirus. Thoughts and prayers for all. 🙏🏽🕯

Most patients with immune-compromising blood cancer still respond to the coronavirus vaccine, raising hope that some of those forced to undertake the most extreme shielding could soon gain some freedom thetimes.co.uk/article/covid…

Scully and colleagues report 23 cases of abnormal clotting, primarily involving the cerebral veins, 6 to 24 days after the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. The syndrome was incited by antibodies to platelet factor 4, independent of heparin therapy. #IDTwitter #COVID19
