The BMJ’s former editor in chief, Fiona Godlee, was arrested this weekend alongside over a dozen other healthcare workers at a demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament while holding a sign reading, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”

NEW: @wesstreeting has been slammed by several trade union general secretaries after claiming doctors' strikes undermine the trade union movement.

'Don't question the mandate of the doctors when your own constituents came within a whisker of removing you.'

[BMA South Thames Resident Doctors @SouthThamesRRDC]

Great to see such a fantastic turnout for our picket at @UHSussex .

No doctor here is worth 21% less than they were in 2008 ❌

@wesstreeting it’s time to end this, make us a credible offer to restore our pay

[Nicholas Pitto @NicholasPitto]

And the award for cutest picketer goes to Scarlett at @UHSussex

@BMAResidents #FullPayRestoration

How can you say no to this @wesstreeting ?

[BMA South Thames Resident Doctors @SouthThamesRRDC]

Lovely contingent from Chichester who came down to Brighton @UHSussex for our picket today!

@wesstreeting we are united

These @BMAResidents are not worth 21% less than they would have been in 2008 ❌

It’s not the BMA “undermining the trade union movement”.

It’s a Labour Prime Minister, writing in the Murdoch press, urging junior doctors to break with their union leadership.

That’s a direct attack on trade unionism.

Solidarity with @TheBMA and junior doctors on strike.

@wesstreeting most of your constituents didn't vote for you either, by a much larger margin, but apparently we're stuck with you regardless

Meanwhile, we send many scans to expensive outsourcing companies to report.

It is money wasting, but private pockets benefit.

[Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 @ERunswickBMA]

This is awful. Health and emergency service workers are #NotATarget, re-bombing areas you have already bombed, especially civilian buildings and health centres, to kill and injure rescuers is horrific behaviour.

Britain and others need to force de-escalation.

@LordWalney @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP Meanwhile you do take orders from arms manufacturers and fossil fuel companies

[BrightonAntifascists @brightonanti]

Join us on Wednesday evening to defend our Brighton community against the far-right!

We need to take a stand in solidarity with those most likely to be targeted.

Spread the word! Tell everyone you know!

See you Wednesday - 7:30pm, Queensbury House, 106 Queens Rd BN1 3XF

[The BMA @TheBMA]

NHS employers need to urgently support migrant and ethnic minority staff, including those facing racism from patients.
BMA members, we're reminding you all to support each other - accompany vulnerable colleagues to and from work if needed. Remember, there is strength in numbers.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

We are horrified by this weekend's racist attacks on people, shops and community buildings.

BMA is anti-racist and anti-fascist, members will need to organise with others to keep our communities safe for colleagues and patients. 👇

[Beth Routledge @sefkhet]

@Anniedroid_ @lararimmer If we, as doctors, think that questions about the social and political determinants of health are “pointless”, then we genuinely may as well stop being doctors.

[Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 @ERunswickBMA]

This is a terrible political decision, which will cause incredible harm to trans people.

Prescribing decisions should be for clinicians with patients (and families), not politicians.

The ban should be reversed.

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

🚨 Palestinians cannot wait. In its first 100 days, @MedicalAidPal calls on the new UK government to:

1️⃣ Halt arms to Israel
2️⃣ Work for an immediate ceasefire
3️⃣ Surge aid, inc @UNRWA funding
4️⃣ Set out a plan for upholding international law
5️⃣ Denounce de facto annexation

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

Medical professionals in Israel have seen how the Israeli military has systematically attacked healthcare facilities... But only now, with an assault on an Israeli doctor in Tel Aviv, has a red line been crossed?
