Still can't quite believe that when a boat carrying people seeking a better life sinks and kills 90, it registers as barely a blip on the news cycle Yet when a yacht carrying billionaires sinks, it's 3-day front page, rolling live ticker news theguardian.com/world/live/202…
Food systems are way more complicated than simple answers or single issue folk want everyone to believe There isn’t one solution, one answer, they need to be mixed and pluralistic and integrated
They’re STILL going on about the super yacht off Sicily. Ffs. Ten minutes peak time. Drowned channel boat people get seconds.
No-one seems to have thought this one through! A brilliant analysis by Claire Martin.

Full resignation letter from FCDO British diplomat Mark Smith:
August weekends are absolutely critical for recruitment of future physicians. Support an FY1 on call for medicine this weekend and they’ll be the med reg four years from now. Ignore, berate, abuse or bully them and they’ll (rightly) go elsewhere. Be the right kind of kind please.
In F2 I needed a QIP, and instead of the usual VTE crap I decided to do something useful. The state of our doctors’ offices had always pissed me off and so I went about improving things, new chairs, more computers, more phones etc. Small things but made a big difference! 😎😎😎
There was also a disused room which was used as a storage/dumping ground for all sorts of rubbish which I cleared and converted into an extra doctors’ office, quiet and away from the noise of the ward. Twas very well received!
Every single day, day after day - children in Gaza are slaughtered in Israeli strikes in a war they did not choose. The horror must stop & cannot be normalized. Shame on all who dehumanize, ignore, trivialize, or deny the atrocities that civilians face daily in Gaza.
This beautiful child from Gaza, named Tim Alouah, was killed today in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza, where the missile tore his body in half. A reminder: Sharing photos and videos of mutilated, torn-apart, or decapitated children is a profound…
That comes out to £7 a day. Let's be honest: if someone is truly fleeing persecution, shouldn't they be provided with free healthcare and a roof over their head? I understand the frustration with illegal immigration. However, not all asylum seekers are just looking for handouts;…
How about some standards for an ED waiting room @RCEMpresident ? Obs rounds Water fountain + paper cups. Tea + coffee rounds. Visible security. Real time information (?also app based) Clear signage. Access to food (not vending) Air filtration Text call system Quiet / refuge area
Maybe all ED staff ought to spend a bit of time in 'civilian' clothes sitting in the ED waiting room. It is miserable being an ED patient at the moment - but there are some low cost things that could be provided that would make it more bearable - free tea? emj.bmj.com/content/early/…
Listening to this as an audio book now, really hard to hear, but so important. Thank you for your work, it must have had a huge emotional toll
Thank you everyone for your kind words. This was a shock so it's taken me a while to post properly. I'm incredibly grateful that more people will learn about the treatment of refugees/migrants at Europe's borders. All prize money will go to support victims twitter.com/TheOrwellPrize…
13 years ago, I came up with a formula. After 13 years of my life being obsessed by this formula, I am steeping back……. This formula works out how many clinical hours people needed to do when working annualised self-preferencing/self-rostering rotas and has become a passion of…
One of the world's most noble and courageous groups is Doctors Without Borders. They send physicians around the world to crises, including wars. @DrJavidA just returned from Gaza. It's his 7th war. He explains why he's never seen anything like the barbarism and suffering there:
“People are expressing to me that they'd rather just die. They're waiting for death. They’ve lost hope. And that's preferable to what they're going through with serial displacements and the lack of safety.” MSF’s @DrJavidA just spent two months in Gaza. Here's what he saw.
