Devastation in Rafah already apparent. The intentions of Netanyahu are obvious to all: Turn Rafah into rubble. Commit mass murder. Drive the remaining Palestinians into the Sinai mountains. Biden, Sunak, Starmer are partners in crimes against humanity.

Today in a side room in parliament the government pushed ahead with policy to increase the number of, and role of, Physician Associates PAs are not doctors, nor GPs, and yet they are being phased in as doctor substitutes and GP substitutes - read that again This will create a two tier system of health service, those seen by qualified doctors and GPs, and those seen by PAs We desperately need more doctors and GPs, but instead of training and hiring them (Brexit has made it difficult to bring more in), this Conservative government is watering down the quality of service being offered by the NHS In 2010 the Conservatives inherited the NHS as one of the world's best health services. Since then they have underfunded the NHS, outsourced so we pay more for the same service, and now they're watering down the quality of staff. Shame on anyone who still votes for the Conservative party, because they are destroying our NHS

If Sunak can write of 14bn in PPE fraud over night, then he can pay doctors properly. RT if you agree! #BMA #DoctorsStrike

It seems that Michelle Mone is about to be rehabilitated and returned to the House of Lords. If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £223,000,000 she owes give this a RT. We won't forget.

NHS vs Private health? I was quoted £2000/year - OK I’m 57 - but I’m fit & no big issues, but they wouldn’t be covered & I’d be sent off to NHS for these NHS funding is £3400/year/person with everyone & everything covered The NHS is everyone’s insurance even if you go private

If anybody is going on Question Time tonight ask Johnny Mercer how using a food bank when you earn £20,000 isn’t necessary. But claiming all your essentials on expenses and paying your wife £40,000 when you earn £110,000 is. RT and we might make him squirm..

Dear general public - sorry we (GPs/primary care/NHS) can’t offer service you would like or need - we are working at 120% & demand outstripping supply - every practice is short staffed & under funded. New IT/phone lines might help a bit. But unescapable fact just not enough GPs
