The pension situation just gets more and more untenable. Hospitals are understaffed and desperate for cover but I’m not paying to go to work. This isn’t the 45% tax issue (we’re already paying that), it’s paying tax based on made up numbers for money that we can’t get for 20+ yrs
1/ This is a *really* important thread🧵 re current pensions consultation. I need you to take time to read it properly & watch the 2 videos / modelling done with @gdcuk They are trying to steal your pension, whilst pretending they are fixing a problem. Read, 👀 2 videos & RT

25/ Our new chancellor @jeremy_hunt knows this is a problem #FixTheFinanceAct #FixNegativePIAs #TaxUnregistered Its time to fix this properly, before its too late RT if you are fed up with them robbing your pension & destroying the NHS xitter.gq/Jeremy_Hunt/status/155…
Replying to @Jeremy_Hunt
2/ Grant an immediate exemption for doctors to public sector pension rules which are currently forcing them to retire in their fifties in alarming numbers.

This is a fabulous column by Giles Coren thetimes.co.uk/article/we-ca…
And with one tweet, @Offord4Hendon loses all respect from his constituents and likely his seat at the next election
Only @BorisJohnson has the experience, a record of delivery and a mandate from the British people. It’s time to #BringBackBoris 🇬🇧👍

This is an astonishingly important story from @jburnmurdoch. Our suddenly-diminished labour force is an immediate, dangerous drag on UK prosperity. It's a hypothesis, but if NHS decay is the reason, this is THE issue of the decade on.ft.com/3IYrtgP

I'm a doctor. Current NHS pension taxation rules are unfairly hitting senior doctors hard with many forced to retire early/reduce hours. This crisis cant go on. @Offord4Hendon as my MP, please will you attend @TheBMA pensions event on Weds 6 July
#WorldContinenceWeek - a personal reflection. I’ve never done a “thread” before so bear with me….amid all the hashtags and PR, I feel compelled to speak out about the reality of the assessment and treatment of urinary incontinence in the UK NHS in 2022. (1/n)

Very successful meeting ! On the train heading home and reflecting on what a great achievement was it to be part of this inaugural meeting! 🥂 @drtevaho @tsoburol @RichardHindley1 @UroShergill @markr1004 and all involved!
Thanks @BAUSurology & @tsoburol for recognising BPO as a specialist interest group & hosting a fantastically useful & inspirational inaugural meeting today. There are a number of challenges which we’ll overcome much more effectively now as a group. Here’s to a BAUS BPO section!

Couldn’t agree more @JimCatto @MaxKates: can’t think of a better setting for AS than LR NMIBC but hugely under-utilised. Also pleasantly surprised how many patients are in favour when I offer it to them.

1/7 Dear @Jeremy_Hunt & @sajidjavid Come & speak with us at @BMA_Pensions , *please*. Surveys have shown the primary driver to this trend, for 10+ years (with successive failed policy since 2011), is *punitive pension taxation* - specifically ⬇️AA, ⬇️LTA & the dreaded "taper".
How do we stop history repeating itself with GP recruitment targets missed because of people going part time or retiring early? My qu to @sajidjavid

You only need the first one in green. Then the rest are redundant. @Uroweb Don’t accept a poor compromise. time for those who won’t modernise to reduce pt risk to upskill or move aside. If you wouldn’t have it yourself then don’t offer it. #trexit
