86% of the 38,000 responses were in favour of trans people having continued access.

The transphobic rhetoric is political because in real life, people who are consulted, choose inclusion.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Still remember the crushing moment as a young researcher when I realised that proving something through evidence had damn near no impact on social policy unless it was politically useful to believe it.

Absolutely shocking behaviour from the health secretary!

Threatening to withdraw training jobs for doctors if they don’t accept a real-terms pay cut…

Knowing that the consequences of this will be our patients who’ll find it even harder to access to specialist care

Disgraceful

La ayuda que tanto el pueblo como el gobierno de México está enviando a Cuba, está ayudando a aliviar los efectos genocidas generados por el bloqueo a la isla. Este simple hecho está desatando campañas millonarias de confusión para que dejemos de hacerlo. Que eso no ocurra.

There is evidence of:
- Labour making up a tactical voting site report
- Labour running political ads outside a voting station
- Reform sending electoral materials without imprint
But they want you talking about “family voting” nobody complained of til after polling closed
Uh huh

[Gary Younge @garyyounge]

The emergence of ‘family voting” as an issue and “democracy volunteers” as a force over the last two hours does not just smack of desperation. It’s a dangerous slur on an entire community and a disgrace on those peddling it.

I'm deeply concerned for the health and safety of the brave anti-genocide political prisoners on hunger strike across the UK. I call on the UK government to act to ensure their wellbeing and to meet their basic, moral demands.

[Huda Ammori @HudaAmmori]

Six prisoners for Palestine are on their 32nd day of hunger strike.

Their health is severely deteriorating, with one described as 'skeletal'.

Each face upto two years on remand before trial and face harsher treatment as they are labelled as 'terrorists'.

This is an emergency

This Bangladeshi activist remains in Israeli imprisonment after being abducted by the Israeli navy along with many other international activists on board the Freedom Flotilla Coalition while sailing towards Gaza to peacefully break the siege.

[Censored Humans @CensoredHumans]

🆘 PLEASE SHARE 🙏🏻 🆘

Activist Okey Vitalis Nnorom who joined the Omar AlMokhtar Flotilla sailing alongside the Global Sumud Flotilla, remains in detention, despite earlier false reports claiming he was handed over to the Nigerian embassy in Jordan. The occupation authorities deliberately obfuscated information and misled lawyers about the detainees’ status.

Supporters are called on to contact their local Nigerian embassy and the Nigerian government to demand Michael’s immediate release.

Björk says her childhood friend Magga Stína has been kidnapped by the Israeli army:

“She sailed on a boat following Greta Thunberg in trying to open the path for international aid to Gaza.”

🚨 URGENT: Scottish flotilla participant Yvonne Ridley is missing after being imprisoned by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.

Yvonne Ridley had been held at Ketziot prison on hunger strike and denied her medication.

She was due to be deported to Istanbul but disappeared during the transfer. Her current whereabouts are unknown and we are deeply concerned for her safety.

Take Action NOW by contacting the Foreign Office to demand that the Government intervene immediately to ensure Yvonne’s safe return.

[Lucy Jackson @LucyAJackson_]

Update on @yvonneridley 🚨

I’m told Yvonne was meant to be on the flight to Istanbul yesterday along with @TadhgHickey

But when the group was being transported to the airport, neither were there – concerns now raised around their wellbeing

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

Terrifying to see Global Sumud Flotilla being intercepted by Israeli forces - we know how brutally the Israeli military has treated those on previous flotillas.

The world is watching - the Foreign Secretary @YvetteCooperMP must urgently step up to ensure safety of those on board

BREAKING: The Alma has just been boarded by Israeli Occupation Forces, while at least 20 unidentified ships surround the Global Sumud Flotilla as it nears the shores of Gaza.

“Our kidnapping is imminent.”

“10 to 12 ships are currently approaching our flotilla.”

“What Israel is doing is a scandal.”

“We stand on the side of international law”

“Shut everything down!”
