Ousted Oxford Union President George Abaraonye is attempting to remain in post. He has now filed a formal appeal after losing last month’s no-confidence vote…
The affair has led membership of the Union to slump by a whopping 25%. Abaraonye technically remains President-elect while his case heads to a tribunal of the Oxford Union’s Senior Disciplinary Committee. He’ll be hoping he can cling on long enough for his term as President to start in January. Maybe Jolyon could help?
Speaking at an IPPR think tank event in London, the Health Secretary compared striking junior doctors to mutinous sailors.
“I feel like we’ve turned the ship, the boat’s going in the right direction, except some of the crew are trying to row in one direction while the rest of us are going in the other. You can’t make progress that way. We are seeing an improving NHS, and we’ve seen improvement despite resident doctors’ strikes, but the fact is, performance would have been better and there would have been more money to invest in staff and services if the BMA hadn’t been undertaking the strike action.”
