There is now overwhelming evidence of Palestinians raped by the Israeli army. The fact that this is not considered newsworthy underlines anti-Arab racism. Allegations of rape are only of interest if they can be used to present Western enemies as uniquely barbaric.

🚨🚨Israel likely RAPED to death Gaza's top medical doctor, Adnan al-Bursh The last moment he was seen alive he was "clearly assaulted with injuries around his body. He was NAKED IN THE LOWER PART... [Israeli] prison guards threw him in the middle of the yard & left him" to die!

They are protesting a bill that seeks to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with Māori people and will result in less protection and rights for them.

Idk what’s going on in New Zealand but she ate this. Tearing the paper, the room erupting in Haka. Non-Māori shitting themselves. Iconic 🙂‍↕️

BREAKING: Israel just committed a massacre in Baalbek, bombing the Civil Defense Center filled with medical personnel. Over 15 paramedics have been killed, with many still trapped under the rubble. Israel is hunting down paramedics across Lebanon. This is an act of genocide.

I simply cannot believe that the time available to MPs to debate a decision that could led to thousands of people receiving state assistance in ending their lives prematurely is… 5 hours. Nor that an argument currently doing the rounds in parliament to win over uncertain MPs is…


This is excellent

A year ago Keir Starmer opposed an immediate #Gaza ceasefire. He punished Labour MPs who voted in support of one. Twelve months on & I really do wonder how he and his Labour Party leadership team sleep at night.

We are so saddened to hear the news about a young Afghan asylum seeker who died after his assertion that he is a child was disbelieved. Here's our message to this government from the young survivors of torture we support: theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/n…

41 minutes of eye witness testimony by British surgeon Professor Nizam Mamode speaking in Parliament: "Drones would pick off children. 60% were women and children The youngest I operated on was a 3 yr old. This was a deliberate targeting of civilians."

"a medical student.. described how the women had all been lined up & been told to strip.. made to stand for hours like that.. when they told her she could go they wouldn't give her a clothes back" Professor Mamode on how the Israeli army humiliates healthcare workers in Gaza

MP @RachaelMaskell has submitted an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to introduce a Gaza Family Visa Scheme to enable Palestinians from Gaza to reunite with their family members and seek temporary sanctuary in the UK until it is safe to return.

When my mother was in hospital shortly before she died, three doctors filled out DNR forms without speaking to her or any member of the family. No one tried to ascertain her wishes or mine. Why would assisted suicide work any better.

Today, I met my dad’s friend on the street. I honestly didn’t recognize him; no one looks the same after a year of genocide. I asked him how he had been doing. He said he had four sons, and one after another, they were killed over the span of a year. His last son and wife were…

Hospital league tables are nasty, simplistic, retrograde & counterproductive. They will demoralise staff, generate cultures of fear & fail to value all that is unquantifiable in healthcare - kindness, compassion, humanity, discretionary effort. My piece: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Proud to be part of this coalition to address the legal aid crisis. Migrants who've been trafficked or trapped in slavery are among those unable to get legal advice when they need it, with devastating consequences.  See our report drive.google.com/file/d/15xlzaX… Fund #LegalAid now.

Less than half of people seeking asylum can get a legal aid lawyer.🚨 ✂️ Cuts to legal aid put people at risk of unfair asylum application refusal—and at risk of homelessness, destitution, health issues, detention and deportation—all because they can't afford a solicitor.

Roy Pollitt had no idea his wife Susan, 77, was being treated by a PA, not a doctor. The drain mistakenly left in her abdomen for 21 hours caused her death, highlighting - again - the dangers of substituting doctors with non-medically trained PAs 😔 bbc.com/news/articles/…

In 1930's and 1940's Germany, the Nazis literally claimed that Jews were being moved for 'safe resettlement to the east', and that they were being transferred to 'Labor camps' where they'd be 'safe' and 'have work' to do... In the Rwandan Genocide, there was Operation…

Before the general election, Keir Starmer committed to closing Wethersfield. Yet, the govt has not only kept the site open in the face of overwhelming evidence of the harm is causes, but also plans to increase its capacity. Wethersfield is both cruel & costly. It must be shut.
