Westminster Hall debate on Imprisonment for Public Protection (#IPP) Sentences, @CommonsJustice report and Government response – Thursday 27 April 2023: highlights 🧵 1/44
Opening the debate @CommonsJustice chair @neill_bob explains #IPP sentences were abolished in 2012 mainly because “far more people fell within the scope of the scheme than had been the political intention”, but Govt “did not deal with those who were already serving sentences”2/44
“621 of those prisoners are at least 10 years over their tariff and 222 of those received a tariff of less than two years” @neill_bob reveals – “five times longer than the index sentence that … the judge who heard the facts thought was the appropriate tariff for the offence”3/44
Question from Labour's Mary Glindon just now in parliament on whether the government will resentence prisoners under the dreadful #IPP sentence.
Short answer: we'll tell you in due course.
Short answer: we'll tell you in due course.
This statement by the Justice Secretary, Dominic Raab, to @CommonsJustice this afternoon, does not sound encouraging re the government's intentions on the proposed resentencing exercise for those under the #IPP sentence
The sheer complacency of Justice Secretary, Dominic Raab, in the face of the obvious injustices of the #IPP sentence exposed here. First by @jamesdalyMP, then by @neill_bob

Please note: I asked one of SA's top energy experts, Stellenbosch University's prof. Sampson Mamphweli to check & corroborate all of my interviews & findings on the different metros. He gave me a thumbs up & said it's actually assisting him in his work! Great!

*Awarded 46 small-scale IPP tenders - 31 (mostly solar PVs) are expected to come online by Christmas, claims Energy MMC Senzi Sibeko
*Signed wheeling energy deal
*Approved solar microgrid deal
*Old grid, tight budget!

Personally, I find the entire outline of their Orthopedic program concerning from a patient's perspective.
In addition to the "72 hr Pain Free" follow up. It minimizes the potential for patients to experience post-op pain.
Unrealistic expectations shouldn't be advertised🤦♀️

Make no mistake, I'm in suggesting this act was justified.
There is no, and can be no justification for striking out at medical professionals when a patient's expectations for treatment are not met.

There has been a lot of discussion regarding the Pain Patient's having unrealistic expectations for Pain Management.
For patients to have reasonable expectations, there must be clear honest discussion of the potential risks / benefits or any procedure including

This is an eye-opening depiction of how successive govt’s have mismanaged debt in #Pakistan.
85% of 🇵🇰’s tax revenues are now used to service debt.

@NadraPak has a list of 3 million top spenders of #Pakistan. Now is the time to act & hold tax evaders accountable. @FBRSpokesperson, @shaukat_tarin, and NADRA, in coordination, need to start knocking on some doors.

2) Stop the bleeding from Public Sector Enterprises (PSE’s) —
Prioritise the privatisation of entities that are bleeding the most. A presentation to this effect & why privatisation has become so critical for Pakistan’s economic security should be given by @ImranKhanPTI himself.

Wish cld add EVERYONE? Don't be offended if not added. Below's WHY I feel #PainKILLS 1/8
Been saying for many yrs even decades that pain does kill. I felt very close 2 death just 5yrs ago when I couldn't lift my head, take noise, light etc. Went 2 dr + said if he can't help me I'd hv 2 call ambulance f/his office. He increased patch 12mcg 'n changed 4 better! 2/8
Fast forward to last mos. Hv had 1 crisis aftelr another 4 many yrs now. Most disturbing was my body runs away on me + am 99% crippled + bedbound. Nobody would listen + I didn't have co-pays 4 many needed tests! Cldn't get help f/anyone 4 many diff conditions + needed tests! 3/8
What if I decided to file a lawsuit (against ??) for the RIGHT to choose to die w/ dignity BECAUSE I am being DENIED the RIGHT to treat my severe intractable pain w/ #pain meds? Hang w/ me for a sec.. #ipp #cpps
I DON'T want to die! I also DON'T want to be forced to live a life of relentless suffering w/o pain meds. Would a #HumanRightsLawsuit help fight for our rights for adequate pain control? #PainManagement

How can they legally deny me the right to die w/ dignity (& on my own terms) but they are also trying to FORCE me to LIVE the rest of my life in horrible excruciating #IntractablePain without the Rx #opioids that I needed & have taken for 19 years to function? @ACLU

This is the Dec, 2015 IPRCC meeting that talks about HHS’ plan and the CDC guidelines. Starting at 4hrs, 18 min, we have Wanda Jones, principal deputy to asst. sec of HHS speak about how HHS planned the guidelines. This is really interesting info.

At 4 hrs 41 min, the CDC rep presents the overview of the guidelines. At 4:52 sec., the Q and A’s. This really shows how there were a lot of concerns from the research panel (NPS) about the consequences and methods/bias involved in the formation of the CDC GLs.

At 5 hrs 24 min we have the evidence that shows the IPRCC (NPS) was not happy about the CDC guidelines and had a discussion about how to handle that. Listen carefully. videocast.nih.gov/watch=17523
I find it wildly inappropriate that #AndrewKolodny is promoting opioid free breast surgery by elevating a #pacira pharma-paid MD! Talk about a sexist hypocrite. See for yourselves! #ipp #cpp #PROP #PainProfiteers

Just an FYI- Pacira - maker of #Exparel, a patented post op buvicane injectable that’s being advertised as the answer to the opioid crisis. The corruption, smh.
Imagine if you will some fragments of those covid proteins which the mRNA vaccine produced happen to end up next to cardiac cells or nerve cells after the cells from our immune system shredded them. The next attack from our immune system would likely injure the cardiac or nerve..
The next attack from our immune system would clean up those fragments but also damage the heart and nerve cells. This is an autoimmune response much like how my immune system will drill a hole through my small intestine trying to get at any wheat I might accidentally eat....
Damage such as the autoimmune response against the fragments of whatever foreign cells invade our bodies can be seen in an autopsy, but until then many doctors will tell their patients that the pain is all in their heads which it may be, or in their hearts,
Being in survival mode b/c of undertreated pain makes me feel apathetic. I would benefit from CBT, but won’t do it b/c ins. coverage req. a dx. code, and THAT would add a psych dx to my #EHR. R/N MDs are using a psych dx to justify taking pts pain meds away. I can’t risk it. #ipp
This makes me think about the evidence that shows a mulitimodal, psychosocial approach works best. I wonder if they know I’d be choosing massage therapy over $ UDTs. But I don’t have that choice. I’d be choosing CBT, but I don’t have that choice. @VanilaSingh @BethDarnall
$600 a year with private insurance is what I spend on having my pee tested. Imagine how many massage and CBT sessions I could have for that. If some of these barriers would be lifted, patients could then have the freedom to self-manage.
When patients snd MDs blame congress, Trump, and Biden for what’s happening to them as far as the #WarOnDoctors and #PainPatientGenocide, my question is this: If these leaders aren’t trained medically, who is giving them info that’s caused these actions to be taken?
Wouldn’t we be better off systematically going through testimonies before congress and opioid committees to see who exactly deceived them and go after them? I’ve been doing this and have found most of the “experts” are actually rich now from testifying in the opioid lawsuits.
A great example is #ChrisChristie. While he didn’t testify in the #opioid lawsuits, he was on the white-house opioid commission and now sits on the board of #Pacira making at least $800,000 a year to help with their anti-opioid #PlanAgainstPain campaign and lobbying for rx limits
There is a very simple way to prove that #CPP & #IPP are NOT addicted to our #OpioidRxs. All that needs to be done is to cure our pain. When our pain is cured no one will need to taper us. We would do our own record breaking taper because we are not addicted to our Rx’s.
When our pain is gone we much prefer a drug free life, and we are absolutely not addicted to our pain. Will you accept this challenge Dr Kolodny? Cure our pain if you are that skillful as a doctor then just watch us run from drugs. Try saving us instead of killing us. Until then
Talked with a lady this evening whose doctor had exposed her to such intense #PROPaganda that she had been conditioned to believe that taking #OpioidRxs automatically made her an addict. In order to please her Dr she took herself off of #OpioidRxs when she was in severe pain.
Since she stopped taking pain meds she is barely able to move. Her inability to tolerate the pain from exercise has made her very frail which resulted in many falls and injuries leading to more pain and less activity. I explained to her that taking pain meds does NOT make her an
I explained that taking pain meds does NOT make her an addict. In fact an addict keeps doing the drug which harms them, but a pain patient takes a pain med which returns their #QOL and strength, but I asked her to consider her situation in this way:
