Other than when anaesthetists split away from surgeons as a specialty and when the intensivists decided to split away from us, I don't think there has been an issue that anaesthetists have felt so strongly about with reference to their professional identities as the issue of AAs.
I asked Jeremy Corbyn if he felt vindicated after being relentlessly smeared for his pro-Palestine advocacy: "I have a house. I live a normal life. Somebody my age in Gaza doesn't even have water. It's about others, and it's our duty to use that privilege to support them."
Keir Starmer is complicit. We will never forget.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Mr Streeting @wesstreeting , you have been ignoring @BMAResidents 's request for more talks since May. You suddenly wanted to talk after the successful strike ballot was announced in July and then you came up with waffle. Now you attack doctors. We see you.
"We did not need to be in this position. These strikes were unnecessary." @WesStreeting explains why 👇 Watch his message to NHS staff continuing to work during strikes.
In under 10 hours, 140,000 of you have signed up and sent a clear message: We’re not going to take this anymore. The time is now. Join us: yourparty.uk
Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Ian Hislop, "It is pretty ludicrous we have got to a state where a man is arrested for carrying a joke? I mean, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, all those things we claim to be interested in?" Shame on @YvetteCooperMP and @Keir_Starmer - this isn't the change any of us…

It’s the health secretaries job to improve the health service. This reads like a petulant child threatening to hamstring the future services because they weren’t willing to talk.
Health and Social Care Secretary @WesStreeting responds to the BMA confirming Resident Doctor strikes will go ahead on Friday 👇
UK welfare spending is 10.6% of GDP. Right wing press never mentions that it is well below the OECD average. UK has some of the least generous welfare across OECD. No questions asked about corporate welfare, uncosted tax reliefs to corporations/rich. gov.uk/government/pub…
EXCL: Keir Starmer under pressure from cabinet ministers to immediately recognise Palestinian statehood, as global outcry grows over Israel’s killing of starving civilians in Gaza. “We say that recognising Palestinian statehood is a really important symbol that you can only do…
There should more outrage in the footballing world after what has happened to Crystal Palace. They deserve so much better. It’s a total travesty they’re out of the Europa league when there are clubs that can get away with huge violations by paying small fines.
Keir Starmer has described the situation in Gaza as "intolerable on many levels", just not the one where Britain stops arming Israel
A British surgeon working in Gaza says he is concerned over the pattern of injuries he's seen in those brought to hospital from aid distribution centres. Dr Nick Maynard tells @annaefoster about the injuries he is treating. #R4Today
Water is the ultimate natural monopoly, and the most fundamental human need. It should serve the public, not profit Public ownership is no panacea, and brings a new set of problems, as is clear from Scottish Water. But it’s time to admit it — privatisation has been a disaster
Meanwhile, sewage spills have reached record highs and England’s rivers are among the most polluted in Europe As @Feargal_Sharkey put it, water privatisation is “possibly the greatest organised ripoff perpetrated on the British people” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The day after the Community Shield and just 6 days before the Premier League season starts. UEFA moved the date to prevent things dragging on apparently. Shambles.
🚨 Court of Arbitration for Sport confirm Crystal Palace have lodged an appeal against Uefa's demotion and a decision will be made by August 11 at the latest @JackRosser_
These attacks on @WHO are intolerable and are further crippling the health response in Gaza. Medics working in conditions that could scarcely be imagined in our worst nightmares must not be targets. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law.
.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse. Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were…
Insane how desensitised we’re becoming to these daily headlines and how it’s just accepted now. Horrendous.
BREAKING: More than 30 people have been killed after Israeli troops opened fire towards crowds of Palestinians waiting for aid, according to witnesses and hospital officials news.sky.com/story/gaza-mor…
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
The Israeli government continues to deny there is starvation at their hand in Gaza. This is nonsense. The evidence is there for all to see.
