Actually unbelievable. First imprisonment for holding a sign, now professional misconduct despite exemplifying good medical practice 🤯Brave and principled doctors like Sarah Benn should be celebrated for taking action to protect public health.

A terrible outcome GMC

If doctors aren’t able to act in good faith to protect health, based on scientific evidence from The Lancet and more, then what are we good for?

Pleased to see our @BMJ_Latest Future of the NHS paper on sustainability published today under leadership of Rita Issa making the point that
'A sustainable NHS is a gift beyond carbon emissions that can influence positive systems change across all aspects of society.'

The Israeli occupation forces completely destroyed both Rafah Museum and Al Qarara Museum in the early weeks of the assault on Gaza, obliterating thousands of priceless artworks and artefacts.

But tell me again about your rage over the Balfour painting.

The problem clearly isn't available aid for the starving people of Gaza. It is Israel's obstruction of the delivery of that aid -- a war crime. x.com/NRC_Egeland/st…

Don’t stop talking about Gaza.

Don’t stop talking about Palestine.

This recession is rooted in the design of our economy.

50 years of privatisation has meant our public resources have been turned into financial assets, increasing prices for many so a few can profiteer.

We need an economy in service of public wellbeing, not private profit.

From the Niger Delta to the EACOP pipeline, communities are facing displacement, violence, and ecological destruction at the hands of Shell and TotalEnergies 💔

We're truly thankful to be featured as one of the Big Issue's Changemakers for 2024.

However, we want to shout out the people and organisations not mentioned here that are making change with us.

A thread to celebrate our kin in the UK 🧵

It’s an honor to be in Kenya these months, working with the Endorois and Ogiek fighting for land justice, the right to return to ancestral indigenous lands, and the reparations they’re owed in law

After 14 years, the Kenyan Gov. continues to deny the Ogiek & Endorois Peoples' return to their ancestral home & reparations for forced eviction. Today, they petitioned the Office of the AG for immediate implementation of Court rulings to ensure justice.

Yesterday I attended a talk BMA House co-hosted by Medical Justice UK & The BMA on lessons from the Brook House Inquiry

A 🧵 on what I learnt about the government' s failing in its duty & perpetuating a system of violence against some of the most vulnerable in our society.
