Hi! Last week our favourite right wing rag, the @MailOnline , wrote a front page exclusive hit piece on me.

Why me? Er… well no ones really sure. I’m not a doctor. I wasn’t on strike.

No doubt it was designed to keep me quiet. No chance. Let’s hit piece the hit piece. 🎯 🧵.

Whilst I admire the Daily Mails commitment to gutter journalism, but I will simply have to right some wrongs:

👩🏻‍🎓 I’m not a doctor. I can’t strike. I can’t picket people. How I therefore joined a ‘junior doctor walk out’ in March is beyond me.
🐝 I do not somehow live in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1650941472663826439

🪧 I have never joined a picket line in my life. They just happened to choose the 1 day I couldn’t picket (due to surgery) as a free pass to slam my bikini photos all over the internet for clicks.
💰 I have never ever stated that I did medicine only for the money and I consider… twitter.com/i/web/status/1650941492867788822

But! These are ‘award winning journalists’ so they must have got something right..
👩🏻‍⚕️ I do support junior doctor strikes!
💴 I do support a #LiveableNHSBursary. Students having to live of £2975 a year is wrong. (I know, lock me up and throw away the key).

.. and that’s about it.

Anyone reading this who is not a junior doctor, this hit piece could just as easily been on you.

Why me? I was getting a lot of interaction and positive support for the junior doctors strikes. They wanted to keep me quiet. They’ll do no such thing.

Oh and last thing @MailOnline you used my photos, which I own, without my permission. One was taken by a photographer.

Unfortunately our fee is very expensive 😣 and given it was used to attract many viewers on your front page exclusive, it’s gone up! You can pay it directly to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1650941503886295040

And before I forget, the Daily Mail then printed my photos with the headline ‘young medic on nursing picket lines missed strike week’. Because obviously female = nurse. And again bikini photos were the mainstay of the article becuase that is VERY relevant.

This is doing numbers. So please consider following my friend and the photographer of one of the images. Her IG is @ cydneebrookphotography. The photo DM used was genuinely candid. But I hate the camera and posing and she even got me to look nice!

If you can amplify her in any… twitter.com/i/web/status/1650986133038198784

An unwise man once wrote ‘Stick to your instinct on a story, but never push an angle too far, in health journalism your words really do have an impact on the lives of readers.’

Who was this? Assistant editor Stephen Matthews, the author of this piece. You really couldn’t make it… twitter.com/i/web/status/1651165792405258242
