The #NHS core principles:

Publicly owned

Publicly funded

Publicly provided

Publicly accountable

Universal

Comprehensive

Free at the point of need

& Paid for through general taxation.

Just saying free at the point of use doesn’t mean it isn’t being privatised.

Last night in Boston, Aymen Hussein scored for Iraq;

At 12, his father was killed by Al-Qaeda.
At 18, his brother was kidnapped by ISIS

At 20, he helped Iraq qualify for the Olympics.
At 30, his decisive goal sent Iraq to their first World Cup in 40 years.

He was detained for seven hours at O’Hare International Airport and nearly denied entry into the United States.

In his very first World Cup match, he scored against Norway.

Some stories are bigger than football!

For those wondering the visa bond implemented by the Trump admin against Cape Verde is $15,000 per person. Many players in this tournament are here without family or personal support because they literally cannot afford the visa.

🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects.

​They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere

​Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.

El Mundial 2026 presume diversidad, pero una rueda de prensa de Brasil y Marruecos no permitieron preguntas en español, Idioma oficial de uno de los países sede y hablado por millones en Norteamérica. Incomprensible.

A doctor kidnapped from a besieged hospital, tortured and held without charge for over 500 days, would surely be called a HOSTAGE.

Unless he’s Palestinian.

Bosnia and Herzegovina fans chanting for Palestine in the streets of Toronto on their way to their first game at the 2026 World Cup 🇵🇸🇧🇦

Fans will always save the tournament!

Ahead of today’s first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin Džeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:

“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego. 
For nothing. 
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.” https://t.co/wPzzjylNLL

🇲🇽🇵🇸Claudia Sheinbaum rompe el silencio.

La Presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, denunció con fuerza.

“Estoy en contra del eje bélico estadounidense-israelí. Bombardear escuelas llenas de niñas no es defensa propia, es un crimen de guerra.

Quien llama ‘defensa’ al asesinato de niños es cómplice de gen****dio… y quien guarda silencio también lo es.”

Una de las pocas líderes mundiales que se atreve a decir las cosas por su nombre, sin miedo al lobby ni a las presiones de Washington.

Mientras muchos gobiernos europeos y latinoamericanos callan o se arrodillan, México levanta la voz por Palestina.

Nick Maynard: "Let me tell you about Zainab, a 7mth old girl.. we had run out of formula feed.. she died whilst I was there.. 4 days before she died a group of US drs had brought in formula feed.. they had every bottle deliberately removed by the Israeli border guards"

Abelardo acaba de decirlo todo: quiere bases americanas y dolarizar al país. Se declara republicano y que no es independiente, sino que un proyecto de Trump.

Este fantoche es una amenaza para la soberanía colombiana.

Ban Ki-moon, then secretary-general of the United Nations, commented on how, in his visits to some of the most forgotten areas of the world, there was a common factor: the presence of Cuban doctors.

“They are always the first to arrive and the last to leave.”

An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed six of one family including a two-year-old boy. Dr Mina is in our report focussing on the targeting of health workers and first responders in Lebanon. There are a high number of civilian casualties. Caution: shocking video - watch it here https://t.co/TUJvpjNhwz

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.

Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

[tim anderson @timand2037]

Comparto este video que lanzaron ayer Silvio Rodríguez y Chico Buarque; los fondos que se recaben serán donados a la Sala de Pediatría del Instituto de Oncología de Cuba, así que si queréis verlo, darle like y compartirlo con otras personas, es un pequeño grano de arena para aliviar la difícil situación en que se encuentran.
El vídeo es precioso y presenta esa Habana tan digna como empobrecida.

BREAKING! US court ha suspended the US sanctions against me!
As the judge says: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest".
Thanks to my daughter and my husband for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far.

Together we are One.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

As the world looks elsewhere, Israel continues to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza. Days in days out. Shame on complicit western media and all complicit governments.

Three first responders from Lebanon’s Civil Defence were killed in an Israeli double-tap attack last night after racing to a bombed building in Tyre District. Two Leb army soldiers were wounded and the two civilian bulldozers sent to help at same time were also hit. Targeted during a so-called ‘ceasefire’. Hussein Ghadbouni, Hussein Al-Sati and Hadi Daher are among more than 300 healthworkers killed in Israeli attacks since Oct, 2023 while involv in relief operations

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held unlawfully. His arbitrary detention must immediately be brought to an end. Each additional day compounds the responsibility of those detaining him.

May all Palestinian hostages be released soon.
May the perpetrators face justice soon.
