Flint has a long history of similar comments - hard to comprehend how someone with such extreme & dangerous ideological views was once president of the RCM. Sadly these views are still prominent within many influential elements in the midwifery world.

'Doctors have taken over maternity, and they're not doing it very well.' Former president of the Royal College of Midwives, Caroline Flint, is 'distraught' by the news of further maternity failings in the NHS.

So there we have it. Reform UK want to repeal the Equality Act. This is the law that: Stops your boss sacking you for being pregnant. Protects disabled workers who need adjustments to do their job. Backs up equal pay for women. Stops people from being harassed at work because they’re LGBT . Makes it illegal to refuse someone a job or a service because of their race or religion. And THIS is what they’ve decided is the problem in Britain? Not the cost of living. Not NHS waits. Not wages. (They said they’d actually them CUT for young people) But YOUR rights. THEIR culture wars would TEAR UP protections that millions of hardworking Brits rely on every day. NO THANKS ❌

Absolutely dismayed that the Assisted Dying Bill is being re-introduced. Not a single one of our major medical or professional bodies support it. A deeply flawed and dangerous bill that poses a real risk to the most vulnerable in our society.

Well, well, well. Farage now plans to "cap the recruitment of foreign doctors to ensure that British patients are not being put at risk". So foreign doctors are a danger to patients? Stupid fucking racist twat! Foreign doctors save lives every day in the NHS. @Nigel_Farage

Multiple reviews have pointed the finger at a failure to escalate to doctors and an obsession with 'normal' birth. The fact midwifery leaders are STILL claiming doctors are the problem really boils my piss.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. Alzheimers. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He's not interested. He's a nasty piece of work.

The Muslim who treats you at the hospital is not a terrorist. The Muslim who teaches your children is not a terrorist. The Muslim who serves you in a shop is not a terrorist. The Muslim who drives your taxi is not a terrorist. The Muslim who lives next door is not a terrorist. The overwhelming majority of Muslims are ordinary people trying to live their lives. Judge people by their actions, not by their religion.

Neil Jackson, a Northern Ireland national in Belfast, was convicted of 45 offences against three children aged between 5 and 13. The charges ranged from rape of a child under 13 to common assault and other serious sexual offences. He was jailed for 20 years. Where’s the outrage? and when’s the protest?

Anyone would be outraged by the few knife attacks by immigrants in Europe but it is odd that those MAGA folks who express outrage about these crimes seem more relaxed about American children slaughtered whilst cowering in classrooms.
