@TheBMA@DavidLammy About bloody time. Gazan healthcare infrastructure has been deliberately and systematically anhililated. This is medical and humanitarian catastrophe, and the British government is complicit in this genocide.
1/5 We are extremely concerned over the fate & wellbeing of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December. He must be released immediately and unconditionally.
Total amount of explosives dropped on Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Hamburg & Tokyo in WWII: 56,120 tonnes.
Total amount of explosives dropped on Gaza in the last year: 85,000 tonnes.
Gaza is 41km long & 12km wide.
How could anyone continue to believe this is ‘self defence’?
Moments ago: Israel has bombed the Ibn Haitham school in Gaza City, which shelters dozens of displaced Palestinian families. Israel’s daily slaughter of the innocent is a direct result of the impunity. Mass murder and mass destruction has become normalised.

Members are fully behind @TheBMA Local Negotiating Committee at UHCW as we pursue two claims on their behalf
Unfortunately negotiations on these matters are not progressing to members satisfaction 👇🏻🧵
There is nowhere safe in Gaza. An immediate and sustained ceasefire by all parties is the only effective way to put an end to all this suffering and loss.
Donald Trump is set to resume outdoor rallies but now with bullet-proof glass to protect him, which can only mean Almighty God isn't up to the job he was doing four weeks ago
📝The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) has documented numerous incidents of extrajudicial killings committed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) against #Palestinian civilians across the #gaza Strip, including the case of Ahmed Mohammed Abu Helal, 53, who is a father to five.
▫️Abu Helal was executed in cold blood by IOF in the Trans area in KhanYounis even though IOF had promised him a safety net after forcing him to translate instructions to the residents of the area during the invasion of the area.
🔘This crime is part of Israel’s ongoing genocidal military campaign against more than 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023.
📢PCHR calls on the international community to exert pressure on #Israel to impose an immediate ceasefire and hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable.

Important article from @zoesqwilliams on pet grief. It was nice to talk to Zoe about my late cat companion Solomon, who sadly died from cancer, he had to be euthanised. I still miss him every day. #cats @CatsProtection helpline also mentioned in article https://t.co/HXcgxqIdgm

Meet Derek Drummond, who has just been sentenced to 3 years for his part in the Southport riot, including punching a police officer. He has 14 previous convictions. Good job he didn’t have a meeting about blocking a motorway or he’d really be in trouble.
1 of the many things I love about @Simone_Biles is that she has brought moments like this to international gymnastics - kind of a camaraderie, respect and friendship between competitors. Whatever she does next, it feels like a beautiful culture change which was sorely needed....
Best podium of #Paris2024 so far 👌

We need the moderate white community to get their house in order, and denounce the extremists in their midst. We need white community leaders to speak up!
(Sounds ridiculous, right? But this is exactly what's demanded of Muslims and people of colour).
INVESTIGATION🧵: Israeli Olympic athletes are IDF soldiers. Many have called for genocide in Gaza, or expressed support for the IDF.
This violates the Olympic Charter which states that sports and politics cannot mix.
The evidence is staggering⬇️
“Our hard work in negotiating and fighting for our future has clearly made a difference to the pay recommendations, but we are still nowhere near seeing the full value SAS doctors bring to the NHS.” Read the full response from @drujjwalam below 👇
