"During the hearing the GMC was at pains to stress that it had no enforceable statutory duty to protect patient safety: a terrible statement from the medical regulator, though in keeping with its determination to ignore the blaring alarm bells sounded by doctors, coroners and patients"

Got everything started, with some work. Motorcycles moved to summer storage. Mower & snowblower swapped & serviced. Plow removed from ATV & stored. Bicycles shuffled about. Time for lunch. #Tetris

I would be curious to know more about his previous convictions, and whether or not (and if so, how) they influenced sentencing by the judge, and the decision by the GMC to suspend him for 12 months.

I hope he took advice from his medical defence union or similar before this particular act.

I can think of many, many ways he could potentially act that would be wildly more sustainable (forgive my use of the word; I mean merely that they might avoid his being imprisoned), and fantastically more damaging to oil extraction, than his chosen course of action. I lament that no one provided him with more constructive discussion before he embarked on these particular acts.

Wes Streeting: there is overdiagnosis of mental health conditions

Imagine the level of self confidence you need to have to have a degree in history and say such a thing.

Wes Streeting should resign. He is no position to make such a statement as Health Secretary and he should be rebutted by the GMC right away.
