You dropped @DrRosena an ACTUAL DOCTOR who work with patients in mental health crisis in A&E. You also scrapped the shadow minister for mental health role. Please don’t pretend you care about this crisis.

I’m proud to welcome @LucianaBerger back to lead a Mental Health Strategy Review. It will be the mission of my Labour government to make sure fewer lives are lost to suicide. Luciana is a fierce advocate for mental health and her work will contribute to achieving that mission.

Why isn’t ACTUAL DOCTOR @DrRosena a Health Minister? Why are we stuck with bloody Stephen Kinnock - what’s his experience in Health!?

This is why we vote to strike. We cannot continue on this trajectory, the NHS is collapsing. We need investment & know the money is there. We’ll fight on for as long as we have to, staff and patients deserve better.

At Glastonbury there’s a debate called ‘Can we Save the NHS?’ with Wes Streeting on the panel! MASSIVE LOL.
