Poor old Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour MP and, apparently, an A&E Doctor) has been having a bit of a rough time on twitter recently.
As I noted yesterday 23 hours after tweeting about nurses wearing bin bags and alleged cronyism wrt PPE contracts, Allin-Khan Labour MP deleted her tweet.
For why?
The photo she used of a nurse wearing bin bags was of a Spanish nurse in a Spanish hospital, where the text header explaining that had been cropped.
Unfortunately, rather than letting the matter drop, she then doubled down and posted another tweet with picture of British nurses in what she described as "bin bags".
I have used a photo of the Tweet, rather than the link, as she may well delete this one too.
All very well, except for the fact that the nurses in the photo were not wearing bin bags, but were in fact wearing long sleeve plastic aprons (as used in hospitals) - you would have thought that the sleeves gave it away, given that bin bags don't have sleeves.
Given that Allin-Khan is an A&E Doctor, you would have thought that she would have known that?
Anyhoo, as I am sure she would not dream of deliberately lying, I can only assume that her eyesight is failing her!
I wonder if the GMC should be informed?
Here is a link to the GMC website.
