To illustrate just how nonsensically these tariffs were calculated, take the example of Lesotho, one of the poorest countries in Africa with just $2.4 billion in annual GDP, which is being struck with a 50% tariff rate under the Trump plan, the highest rate among all countries on

I have never seen so much value destroyed deliberately. This is the worst leadership ever.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

The only thing a Consultant should say to the night shift docs is "thanks, go and get some sleep"

What a crock of 💩 Women are orthopaedic surgeons and pretty damn good ones too What a tired, pathetic, threatened little narrative thetimes.com/article/53294b…

This can get in the sea There is a reason 90% of orthopaedic surgeons are male, the same reason such high numbers of CEOs are; patriarchy; outdated power systems, biases and and and… It’s why many of us are working hard to make the specialty more diverse, more inclusive and

The Guardian reports that Israel hit the Al-Baqa coffee-house in Gaza on Monday with a 500-lb US-made MK-82 bomb, killing up to 36 people and injuring dozens more. It says experts in international law believe the use of such a weapon against a civilian target may be a war crime.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Today’s talks with the Health Secretary were constructive, and we believe there’s a window of opportunity - albeit small - in which the Government can put forward a strong enough proposal to prevent strikes. Full statement: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

The UK government says it is doing everything it can to alleviate suffering in Gaza. The UK government won’t suspend the sale of F-35 parts to Israel. The UK government won’t stop the use of RAF Akrotiri or end military cooperation. The UK government won’t accept the ICJ
