Dear 🇬🇧,

NHS staff are leaving in record numbers and it is a national emergency that we must urgently address. I joined Storm Huntley, @Bonsuman, and Carole Malone for a segment on this crisis.

'We are a deeply sick nation right now and that's because of 10 years of underfunding the NHS.'

Dr Andrew Meyerson says the haemorrhaging of NHS doctors to better paying countries will only end up harming the UK economy even further.

We are aware of a number of horses that are currently loose in central London and are working with colleagues, including the Army, to locate them

'Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes.' --A new UN statement news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

Dear 🇬🇧,

Despite their promises, the catastrophic defunding of critical NHS services continues as govt demands more staff cuts that will harm patients. I’m dead serious: your family is not safe with this govt running the NHS. Demand an end to NHS cuts now.

While Professors and students are being arrested in the US, mass graves are being uncovered in Gaza.

COVID’S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

🔥 This is an excellent series of graphics from Yale School of Public Health explaining what we do (and don’t) know about Covid’s effect on the immune system.

Much of this is informed by the work of Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity).

With two million people on NHS mental health waiting lists, Rishi Sunak has the answer

Want proof that Sunak doesn’t give a shit about helping people back to work?

Want proof that his latest policy is just performative cruelty to appeal to a certain demographic?

Here it is…

Spent the first night of Passover at the student seder in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia.

The Jewish flank of the Palestine solidarity movement is growing and it is so beautiful to behold.

Judge for yourself how unsafe these Jewish students look.

Passover begins tonight, a holiday which celebrates the Jewish people’s release from slavery and their journey to freedom and liberty. Every Passover we insist on reminding us all that it is impossible to celebrate freedom while keeping millions under a military dictatorship.

Freedom now.

Freedom for our hostages, freedom for us, freedom for Palestinians, freedom from war, freedom from occupation. 
 
Freedom from violence, freedom from messianism, freedom from terrorism.
 
This Passover, we demand:
 
Freedom & Peace - now, and for all.

A welcome start.

First step should be to cut the number of mandatory training courses. Often can be tick box.

Second, to make them portable between #NHS organisations.

Third, to have an NHS passport with all this and occupational health documents.

In the most challenging of circumstances, medics in Gaza are doing whatever they can to save lives.

Horrifically, this child was born an orphan with her parents and sister killed in an Israeli airstrike.

We must have a ceasefire now.

The tale of the Four Children is a well-known part of the Passover Haggadah.

Traditionally, the Four Children are described as the wise, the wicked, the simple, and the one who doesn't know how to ask.

Peace Now has prepared a new and more updated version.

Be the wise one.

Dear 🇬🇧,

A Leeds hospice is running an American-style GoFundMe campaign as NHS funding for hospice care has also been gutted. If you believe that we all deserve world class care from birth to death, and at every point in between, then please, never vote Tory ever again.

His true - & nakedly cruel - colours.

First Rishi Sunak declares he’ll cut benefits for 420,000 sick & disabled people to force them into work.

Now, 2 days later, he scraps a major scheme, the Work & Health Programme, to help disabled people into work.
