Spectacular illustration by @andreu_zaragoza for 'The Barcelonian' perfectly summing up the devastating impact of uncontrolled tourist flats in European cities.

Six days of industrial action by "Junior" Doctors - I'm behind them all the way. Something badly wrong when a commercial Handyman charges £60 per hr plus VAT plus materials & travelling time - whilst Junior Doctors - caring for the sick & saving lives are paid £15.50p an hr.

I was an NHS doctor, Then burnout and mental illness happened. I left medicine but Without it... I felt lost. Here are 3 things I learnt from leaving the NHS, 3 things everyone should know.

If you went to medical school when it was free If you do private work Or if you no longer see NHS patients perhaps you should refrain from criticising the striking NHS junior doctors for their of morals or ethics They paid They don’t have private income They work very hard

A short 🧵for those who think paying doctors less is a good choice. You need doctors Doctors do not need you NHS is collapsing Doctors could earn far more by allowing it to collapse Doctors are striking so NHS pays enough to retain doctors, so it doesn’t collapse 1/2

Mark my words. Your sense of entitlement to doctors’ labour will lead to the collapse of the NHS and privatisation. The government and their friends in private healthcare are relying on you not thinking beyond “rich doctor bad, pay less” They are winning. Because of you. 2/2

Please watch this video. When I need to call out a plumber I’m grateful to pay £40/h because I don’t have the first clue how to fix my boiler, or the skills to fix a burst pipe. Doctors are asking for half of that, to fix your kids.

Quem é este rei?

On behalf of my brothers, sister, son, nephew, in laws, aunts and uncles working in the NHS - thank you Dr. Hilary Jones MBE for this clear explanation #DoctorsStrike - But also the daily abuse they have to put up with. Vocation always comes before money but things have become so

Pedro Nuno Santos: “O partido mais bem posicionado para resolver esses problemas é o PS.” Nelma Serpa Pinto: “Como é que consegue dizer isso quando foi Ministro da Habitação e a habitação é neste momento um dos maiores problemas do país?”

O único socialista honesto 🤣 não vi foi na pagina do psocialista este militante

Actual candidato a PM, Pedro Nuno Santos, queixa-se que antigo ministro das infraestruturas, Pedro Nuno Santos, era uma pessoa insensível e má. Faz lembrar a frase "Odeio ser bipolar: é tão fixe!" 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Um momento que fica para a história do debate político português.
