Social Care has been privatised, underfunded, used for profiteering & has relied upon the dedication of exploited, underpaid staff. That’s why we committed Labour to creating a National Care & Support Service on NHS lines, free at the point of need, which I will now fight for.

I note that #disabled folk do not appear in the highlights of this report, despite making up the majority of deaths from #Covid19 and a failure by @DWP to upgrade legacy benefits. #DisabilityDiscrimination

Please can we grow my account to 100k followers by midnight, so that @EveryDoctorUK and our network of UK doctors can inform the public about what’s happening on the NHS frontline?
Could you possibly help us and re-tweet this? Doctors aren’t allowed to speak up, we help them🤞💛
