Nastiest skid mark in history complains about the state of underpants.
The current reputation of British politics is lower than it has ever been in modern times.

National insurance rises to fund Health & social care. Below inflation uplift to GP contract for 22/23 and no funding of staff employer NI cost increase. Most will be left with less resource than 21/22. So where’s the “new” money going?

I want my Country back.
"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered." The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie says the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote and no-one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".

We’re heartbroken. We’re overwhelmed. The situation is critical. Please get vaccinated, wear a mask, wash your hands and get tested for COVID if you feel sick.

Another load of very helpful texts sent out today by @NHSEngland to >50’s telling them to phone us for a flu jab. Obviously slipped their notice that ALL OF MY VACCINE for that cohort are currently stuck in France! @TheIGPM #teamgp @practice_gp

Ditto! 😳…not their problem! It’s amazing how NHSE’s default setting is, ‘contact your GP’ for all patients, yet Primary Care receive only 9% of NHSE funding! It’s as if they want us to fail, but surely that isn’t right?🙄

@DAUK_GP @wanderingwelch @PoliticalNurse @stueymckenzie @RCNStudents @gwalkerpoole1 @theRCN @RCNGPNForum @bjgw proof if any was needed, the government are being disingenuous ! It’s not being burnt-out it’s moral injury, caused by a Government desperate to bring us to our knees!

The GPs the nurses the admins the pharmacist are all people living in the covid world too. They will burn out, they need our support. – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Can we ask a favour please @JasonManford ? Can you share this short video to help us show the general public where we are at please? Just watch and listen to these GPs talking about the jobs they love. It’s so sad it’s come to this youtu.be/D0apFJsgXRE via @YouTube

Perhaps we need more transparency of GP role. The first appt at 8.30am may run late but that’s because the GP has been there since 7am dealing with a backlog of referrals/ tasks/ results/ queries. Last appt 4.50pm but get home at 8pm. Rarely any standing about.

GP's never stopped seeing patients face-to-face during the pandemic. Even at the height of the pandemic patients were still seen face-to-face where this was required. The press is spreading misinformation and surgeries are suffering. We do what we can. Please support GP practices
Just days after GP staff are physically attacked and one hospitalised, the @DailyMailUK does this. Absolutely disgusting and clearly don’t care about the impact they are having @sajidjavid @BorisJohnson @GMB @DrHilaryJones

This report is deeply worrying; people should not be subject to abuse, threats and violence simply for doing their jobs. Incidents like this are sadly on the increase - Government must take urgent action to protect healthcare workers. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

We are horrified to hear of a violent assault on staff in a Manchester GP practice. Abuse of any kind cannot and should not be tolerated; unfortunately it is a growing trend which Government must act immediately to address. Statement from @RVautrey 👇 bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

@sajidjavid. @rcn @dailymail @AllisonPearson Again, you are not doing all you can. We are open, we never stopped seeing patients, to the detrement of our own health and wellbeing, and your government and shoddy, lazy ill-informed journalism are responsible for this!
You are NOT doing all you can. You should be regularly ensuring messages about this are seen by the all the public via messages across all media. Not only that but you need to pull up the (mainly) right wing press for printing stories stoking hate against GPs and their staff.

Abuse of NHS staff must not become the norm, urge @DrSimonHodes and @DrNeenaJha NHS leaders need to act on the increasing levels of abuse which are unsustainable, damaging to morale, and exacerbating staff shortages ow.ly/zHBB50G5glE
