Left Twitter ages ago having seen the writing on the wall with Musk. Looking for balanced politics no right wing nutters please and pleasant discussions in exchanges. No unsolicited DMs please
And yet the govt expect GPs to co ti ue to provide more and more apps for less and less. Utilising cheaper and less qualified staff to do the same job as a highly qualified GP. That isn't fair to a yone involved, docs, support staff or patients
Dr Steve Taylor@drstevetaylor.bsky.social · 12h agoToday over 3500 GPs will have qualified to join the workforce There is a huge problem, there aren’t enough jobs, the DHSC & NHSE are failing to fix GP employment They have cut GP practice funding by 20% in 10yrs @andyburnham.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social your issue to fix now
Badenough cant see the jarring disconnect
Alasdair Mackenzie@alasdairmackenzie.bsky.social · yesterdayReminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

I like being in a (virtual) space with people who are far cleverer & funnier than I am. Sometimes they even improve my vocabulary 😉 Thank you
I take extraordinary delight in being corrected by Proper Experts. It's brilliant. They drop in like niche paratroopers. I once confused a plot point between Under the Net and Accidental Man and the Iris Murdoch fanclub magically appeared to correct me.
This is an important petition to try to protect our fragile environment from these AI monstrosities. Please add your signature so the decisionmakers will understand the degree of public resistance they are and will be facing if they go ahead. 38d.gs/feka
Stop these monster data centres before they wreck our neighbourhoods!
Are you worried about this too?

Israel kills 19 Palestinians in Gaza hours after Trump announces his latest ‘peace plan’
Hours after Donald Trump announced a “historic” agreement for disarming Hamas and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, Israel attacked Gaza, killing 19. Palestinians weren’t surprised. “We don’t trust Israe...

Your occasion reminder that there are now more Surgeons than qualified GPs That GP practice appointments are now 31-35m a month That the number of operations hasn’t changed And the share of NHS funding to GPs has reduced considerably And yet GPs asked to do more whilst hospitals do less 🤷🏻♂️
BREAKING: Outlander star Sam Heughan has hit out against Scotland's AI data centre boom, telling The National that they 'cannot be allowed' 🗣️ 'We have a country rich in resources and natural beauty. It’s sickening to think how ill-considered this decision is'
Our prisons are overcrowded because the system is broken. The answer isn't endless emergency releases. It's investing in prevention, rehabilitation and giving people the support they need to rebuild their lives.
GP practices provided 35,000,000 appointments in June 50% more than 2019 Sadly too many in the media ignore this Many commentators refuse to accept the truth In the end GP practices will close, GPs leave & GPs will be blamed despite doing more for less year on year
GPonline@gponline.bsky.social · 2d agoGeneral practice in England delivered nearly 35m appointments in June this year - a new record that is 46% above the same month in 2019, GPonline analysis shows. Full story: www.gponline.com/general-prac...

Bravo 👏 👌🏽 Clarkson is typical ex public school boy, multi millionaire, who runs his big mouth off whilst plugging his TV Show A while ago, I he was on deaths door with a heart condition, which was easily rectified with a stent Then cancer which seemingly flew immediately into remission 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Nettlecake@nettlecake.bsky.social · 2d agoBrilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
saying this not as a dig to Paul but as a general point, but it does worry me that we've ended up in a world where the two options are seemingly "leftist bubble" or "oh hey the nazis are here" - surely we should be able to have a politically heterogenous platform with tight rules on hate speech etc?
Paul Bernal@paulbernal.bsky.social · 2d agoThe new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4
Farage put himself in the frame from day 1: “Farage negotiated the pact with Richard Tice, then the leader, in March and April 2024. George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who had been secretly bankrolling Farage, supervised the discussions.” www.thetimes.com/article/9221...
Nigel Farage struck Reform comeback deal long before election
Supervised by the convicted fraudster George Cottrell, the agreement undermines Farage’s claim about when he decided to return to politics

Tomorrow is decision day on whether the Guga hunt will go ahead - the shocking archaic tradition of beating baby Gannets to death on the Scottish island of Sula Sgeir. We've given everything we can to stop it, and now we can only hope NatureScot make the right choice.
When will people lealise, Reform and Farage have no interest in people. They are there to enrich themselves. Using people, twisting their minds to gain power. In the same way that Trump and Putin have used their citizens to gain enormous personal wealth.
This thread didn’t get enough traction….
Wendy Siegelman@wendysiegelman.bsky.social · 2y agoRumors have been swirling that Elon Musk may donate $100 million to Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party - in a small scoop, I report that Musk has also just incorporated X.AI London Ltd, showing he is 'reaching across the pond' on multiple fronts, my latest: newstracs.com/elon-musk-ma...
Just seen that in New York a Bill has been introduced to direct supermarkets to reduce shoppers' bills by 10% if they do all the work themselves 👏 Sounds like a plan! I hope it succeeds nypost.com/2026/07/14/l...
NY state proposal would give shoppers a 10% discount for self-checkout
“Customers are effectively completing portions of the checkout labor themselves without compensation.”

It was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.
A superficial reading by right wing politicians/media reports, makes it appear that Spain (the geographical country) was invaded by migrants. It wasn’t… A Spanish city on a peninsula on the Moroccan mainland was… The Ceuta crisis has been deliberately coordinated & skewed for maximum publicity!!
Ofcom and BBC, correct the record: Thames Water CEO misled the public about public ownership. Too many journalists amplify water industry PR. Please follow the advice in this link and lodge your complaint.

Well, they're on their way back to Morocco actually, as they never had any way to reach mainland Spain, let alone the UK, but who needs facts when you're Bobby J the King of Bullshit.
